And native French words attain international acceptance almost as easily as do scientific compounds from Greek and Latin. Phonograph and telephone were not more swiftly taken up than chassis and garage.
The chassis assembling line, for instance, goes at a pace of six feet per minute; the front axle assembly line goes at one hundred eighty-nine inches per minute. In the chassis assembling are forty-five separate operations or stations. The first men fasten four mud-guard brackets to the chassis frame; the motor arrives on the tenth operation and so on in detail.
This stimulation of research has been responsible for the creation of a type of aeroplane specially adapted to naval service, and generically known as the water plane, the outstanding point of difference from the aeroplane being the substitution of canoes or floats for the wheeled chassis peculiar to the land machine.
But chassis and garage still retain their French pronunciation, or perhaps it would be better to say they still receive a pronunciation which is as close an approximation to that of the French as our unpractised tongues can compass.
For spokes, solder two strips of thin tinned iron to the rings, using as little solder as possible. Pass the axle through the holes in the ends of xy, xz, and solder on the other wheel. Your chassis is then finished. On no account use nail, tack, or screw.
Thus equipped, the chassis served the uses of an improved tent, as the floor was well above the ground and out of all danger of the unwholesome, vapors rising from the ground and also the scorpions and other reptiles. But if the oasis itself was a pretty spot, it was made doubly so by the contrast it afforded to the scenery surrounding it.
Another danger point is losing headway, as the earth is neared, due to flying at too flat an angle, or against a wind that happens to be blowing particularly hard at the landing place. If the motor is still going this does not make so much difference, but in a volplane it means that the descent must be so steep, at the last moment of flight, that the chassis is liable to be crushed by the impact.
The airship had been resting upon what seemed to be a little ridge. Pulling the chassis from this rise in the snow, they were both astounded to find the body of the car shift to one side and sink into the snow. Both sprang to that side of the car and Norman, running his hand along the wooden landing ski, gasped with astonishment when he found the long runner broken sharply in the middle.
"If you need canvas" Wayland hesitated then, gravely: "There are, in my room, a number of artists’ toiles old chassis with the blank canvas still untouched." "Exactly what we need!" exclaimed the other. "What luck, now, to meet a painter in such a place as this!" "They belonged to my father," explained Wayland.
"Great heavens, you don't mean to say that they went over that?" muttered Lockwood, jumping down and running forward. Kennedy had joined us by this time and we all hurried over. Down in the ravine we could see a lantern which Burke had brought and which was now resting on the overturned chassis of the car.
