It was perfectly within the power of mechanicians and mathematicians so experienced as they undoubtedly were the pyramid attests so much to measure with considerable accuracy the length of a degree of latitude.
Since death robbed our sovereign lord of his wife, and the gout has prevented his enjoyment of the chief pleasures of life hunting, the tournament, and the other pastimes which people of our rank usually pursue in what can he find diversion? The masterpieces of painters and other artists, the inventions of mechanicians and clock-makers, and the works of scholars have no place here, but probably "
These I can readily have made for me in London, and by the aid of a lathe I shall be able to adapt the several parts, which I shall have made by different mechanicians for secrecy's sake. Should I succeed, it may be the means of putting some hundreds of pounds in my pocket.
I know most of 'em, but I don't think any Woods has a machine here. Wait! I'll ask Bill. He'd know if any one did." He walked over to a group of mechanicians and returned in a moment. "It's the last one down. He ain't had a machine here only two weeks. That's the reason I didn't know the name." We thanked him and started for the other end of the field. A pilot climbed into one of the machines.
As the great propeller spun round, coats ballooned out with the rush of air, and the noise was such that one could hardly hear one's own efforts to shout. It was a sound which filled you with awe. The propeller was stopped after a few minutes, and the mechanicians shot up the sides of the craft, and punched oil and gasolene into the places where it was needed.
And, in all probability, if the truth must be told, if the Yankees could only have found a point of application for it, they would have constructed a lever capable of raising the earth and rectifying its axis. It was just this deficiency which baffled these daring mechanicians.
Archibald, the ninth Earl, inheriting a patrimony much reduced by the loyalty and zeal of his ancestors, spent it all in the scientific pursuits to which he devoted himself, and in which he was the friendly rival of Watt, Priestley, Cavendish, and other leading chemists and mechanicians of two or three generations ago.
In all ages there have been ingenious mechanicians, excellent architects, skilful artillerymen: any error, into which it was possible for them to fall in regard to the rotundity of the earth and gravitation, in no wise retarded the development of their art; the solidity of their buildings and accuracy of their aim was not affected by it.
Two mechanicians spun the propeller and the engine sputtered and roared. The plane wabbled and swayed drunkenly out on to the field, then as the roar increased, it gathered speed and was off. At the door of the Woods hangar, a red-haired mechanic of powerful build was cleaning and oiling some delicate-looking piece of mechanism.
"I've no objection," said J. B., grinning as if the frenzy of balloonaticking had already got into his blood. "Right! that's settled. I'll see your mechanicians about fitting your machines for rockets. You can begin practice this afternoon." Percy had been listening with interest to the conversation. "You got some nice job, you boys.
