After we entered the war we adopted a 'plane of American design to which was given the name "Liberty plane." It may be worth while to revert for a moment to the distinction drawn in a preceding paragraph between the pusher propeller and the tractor which revolved in front of the aviator and of his machine gun.
There are a thousand valiant knights armed with pencils to one stalwart pusher of the eraser. In the drafting-room the work of harmonizing must go on; compromises must be made between the ideal scheme of the dreamer and the requirements of the manufacturing and selling departments. Next to the noble knight of the eraser comes the idealist who has been toughened by experience in the cold world.
Every man in business who is worth his salt is a pusher, a shover, a tackier, a punter, or half-back, and the unsuccessful ones are the ones who carry the water to bring the business players to, when they become overheated, and do the yelling and hurrahing when the pushing business man in the football game of life makes a touchdown.
Here a string of big manipulators were trying to get in from below, sprouting claw hooks and grapples and pusher arms in all directions. I made my siren imitate a tail-tramped tomcat a couple of times, and got in among them. Bottom Level Broadway was a frightful mess, and I realized that we had come down right between two units of the city power plant, big mass-energy converters.
"Come on here and help me; this snow is so heavy it needs an extra pusher already." Dorothy lent her muscles to the task of pushing on the snow man's "torso," as Ethel Blue, who knew something about drawing figures, called it. The Ethels, meanwhile, were making the arms out of small snowballs placed one against the next and slapped hard to make them stick.
Really, she was too young for so much poise, too "temperamental," by every indication of her physiognomy, for such complete self-control. "I say, she has a very good tone, do you know," he took occasion to remark to Dill. And he spoke as a man whose authority in such delicate matters was beyond dispute. There is only one way to impress the pusher, and that way Preciosa had unconsciously taken.
By this time, Tommy Flynn, the champion rib cracker and face pusher, was rolling up his sleeves businesslike and thrusting off his numerous seconds in his anxiety to get at me. "'Ere, Splotch," he cried to a one-eyed bosom friend of his, "'old my watch, while I joggles the puddins out of this kid with a left 'ander. My heye! 'e won't be no blooming golfing swell in another 'alf minute."
"You want papers for the astrogation deck, or control, or as a power pusher?" asked Shinny. Roger thought a moment. "Better make them for the control deck," he said. "Credits," said Shinny. "You have any credits?" "How much?" asked Roger. "One hundred now," said Shinny, and then added, "and one hundred when I deliver." "Guaranteed papers?" "Positively!" snorted Shinny.
Their exploding device is very delicate so that it will operate upon impact with water, very soft earth, or even the covering of an airship. Other bombs commonly used in airplanes were shaped like darts, winged like an arrow so that they would fall perpendicularly and explode by a pusher at the point which was driven into the body of the bomb upon its impact with any hard substance.
Back in geologic time we had a ruminant with four horns, two on the nose and two on the crown, and they were real, permanent, bony growths. What a powerful right fore limb Nature has given to the shovel-footed mole, while the chipmunk, who also burrows in the ground, has no special tool to aid him in building his mound of earth; he is compelled to use his soft, tender little nose as a pusher.
