With a lever, cog-wheels, and a running chain after the pattern of the cycle chain, one could " "And ball bearings," suggested Compton, slyly. "Yes; and ball bearings the friction would be reduced, and we could get more power out of a screw and propeller than we could from four paddles." "You may be right," said Mr. Hume, thoughtfully.
Another officer now suggested and put in operation still another improvement, in the shape of the "gear-drill-stock" of our armorer's chest. This, being a machine for drilling iron, was rough in its construction and uneven in its action, but, having cog-wheels, a rapid and nearly steady motion could be given to its shaft.
So drink, and call for what you please, Until you've had your whack, boys; We'll think no more of raging seas, Now that we've come back, boys. Chorus With a whip, snip, high cum diddledy. The cog-wheels of life have need of much oiling; Smack, crack this is our jubilee; Huzza, my lads! we'll keep the pot boiling.
'Your boast reminds me of the old lines "I've a hundred captains in England," he said, "As good as ever was he." At her father's quotation Margaret looked suddenly up, with inquiring wonder in her eyes. How in the world had they got from cog-wheels to Chevy Chace? 'It is no boast of mine, replied Mr. Thornton; 'it is plain matter-of-fact.
Her gunwales rubbed and squeaked along the straining piles green with sea slime; deck chains clinked, cog-wheels clattered, the stifling smell of dock water gave place to the fresher odour of the streets. "I would like to walk uptown," said Ailsa Paige. "I really don't care to sit still in a car for two miles. You need not come any farther unless you care to."
In the center of a broad, low room, stood a mass of great cog-wheels, chains and pulleys, all interlocked and seeming to form a huge machine; but there was no engine or other motive power to make the wheels turn. "This, I suppose, is the means by which the island is lowered or raised," said Ozma, "but the magic word which is needed to move the machinery is unknown to us."
The engine was provided with a single cylinder six inches in diameter, with a fly-wheel working at one side to carry the crank over the dead points. Jonathan Foster described it to the author in 1854, as “a strange machine, with lots of pumps, cog-wheels, and plugs, requiring constant attention while at work.” The weight of the whole was about six tons.
No society can cultivate goodwill in you. You might as well create a society for shaving or for saying your prayers. And further, goodwill is far less a process of performing acts than a process of thinking thoughts. To think, is it necessary to involve yourself in the cog-wheels of a society?

Passengers on the south-bound saw them seated together, and wondered at the conflux of two such antipodes. McGuire was five feet one, with a countenance belonging to either Yokohama or Dublin.
Reclining nude figures, of colossal size, bend toward the keystone of the arch, each holding a tool of a machinist. Interlaced cog-wheels form the background. <b>WIRTH, ANNA MARIE.</b> Member of the Munich Art Association. Born in St. Petersburg, 1846.
