Once we've connected the magneto and fired the blast our whole job will be done." Josh, only half-convinced, drew a revolver and cocked the weapon. "Now, be mighty careful!" snarled Dolph. "Don't get rattled and shoot at any shadows! A shot might spoil our plans tonight, for it would bring men tumbling out this way as soon as they could get out of their bunks and into some clothes.
When I saw her she was talking to a man whose beating whiskers dashed high on a stern and rock-bound face.... Thank you, I like that fairly well, too, but unfortunately I stole it from a chap named Haviland. My own idea of witty conversation: is 'Some car you got. What's your magneto?" "Look. Olive Dunleavy seems distressed.
"The blasts may not be all over as yet." Tom Reade smiled. "The blasts were fired by magneto," he explained. "There can't be any more blasts, unless some enemy should sneak back and adjust the magneto to some other 'mine. You won't let any one down the shaft for that purpose, I know." There was a laugh, amid which Tom and Hunter descended.
While the others worked, Dolph carefully superintended their operations. At last the tamping was done, and the connecting wires were carried back to the bottom of the shaft. Here the second mine was connected in the same manner, and the wires joined so that the circuit should be complete. "One spark from the magneto, now," chuckled Dolph, "and both blasts will go on at once. Whew!
Then the gasoline tank was filled, the magneto was looked after, the oil reservoirs were cleaned out and freshly filled, and finally the lad remarked: "Well, I guess I'm ready. Come along, Mr. Damon." "Am I going with you in the test?" "Surely. I've been counting on you. If you're to be with me in the race, you want to get a sample of what we can do. Take your place. Mr.
I shall see him again, and I shall know him wherever I see him." "Let's look for the trail," proposed Foreman Corbett, holding one of the lanterns close to the ground. The trail, however, was easy neither to distinguish nor to follow. "We may as well leave here and search farther," concluded the young engineer. "Before we go, though, we'll get the magneto and take it with us."
If we go on at the present rate some of us will soon be wearing masks and cloaks, and stamping our feet, and saying 'Ha! Ha! or 'Sdeath! or something equally absurd." "Simmonds is a victim of science. If the earth wire of a magneto makes a metallic contact there is trouble in the cylinders, so Simmonds is switched off until he can locate the fault." "The work of a minute."
When the family car went wrong, he watched the repairs, asked questions, and was ready to lend a helping hand. Many of the troubles on a modern car are apt to be in connection with the electrical equipment battery, lights, magneto, timer, self-starter, etc.
"How can you ask such a thing?" was her answer. "Doesn't my whole future depend on our success, Britten?" "Then you won't have long to wait," I rejoined, and, opening the bonnet, I set to work upon the magneto, and in twenty minutes had done the job as surely as it could have been done by the makers themselves. "If this car is going on to-night," said I, "some one will have to push it.
We had previously assembled the fly-wheel magneto in the usual method. With one workman doing a complete job he could turn out from thirty-five to forty pieces in a nine-hour day, or about twenty minutes to an assembly. What he did alone was then spread into twenty-nine operations; that cut down the assembly time to thirteen minutes, ten seconds.
