He had finally to appeal to his father, in order to get the right proportion between the back and front gears, for the motor-cycle was operated by a sprocket chain, instead of a belt drive, as is the case with some. Mr.
We thought we'd better increase the speed of the cup-carrier, and pulled up to put in a smaller sprocket." S. Behrman nodded to say that was all right, and added a question. "How is she going?" "Anywheres from twenty-five to thirty sacks to the acre right along here; nothing the matter with THAT I guess." "Nothing in the world, Bill."
In this diagram, A represents an outer light-tight box containing a lens, C, and the other necessary mechanism for making the photographic exposures, H<1S> and H<2S> being cases for holding reels of film before and after exposure, F the long, tape-like film, G a sprocket whose teeth engage in perforations on the edges of the film, such sprocket being adapted to be revolved with an intermittent or step-by-step movement by hand or by motor, and B a revolving shutter having an opening and connected by gears with G, and arranged to expose the film during the periods of rest.
It was no easy task to make the repairs with the airship in motion. Spare parts, including a sprocket chain, were carried aboard, but the work had to be done close to the other revolving propeller, and, as slowly as it was whirling about, it went fast enough to cause instant death to whoever was hit by it. So extreme caution had to be used.
The next day Tom showed his friends as much as they cared to see about the workings of the tank. They inspected the powerful gasolene engines, saw how they worked the endless belts made of plates of jointed steel, which, running over sprocket wheels, really gave the tank its power by providing great tractive force.
But, as I have said, the moving picture camera takes snapshot after snapshot sixteen a second until many thousands are taken, so that when the pictures are shown afterward they give the effect of continuous motion. The film is moved forward by means of toothed sprocket wheels inside the camera, the shutter opening and closing automatically.
We had covered one hundred and forty miles in twelve hours, including all stops, delays, and difficulties. It was the Old Sarnia Gravel which helped us on our journey that day. At Flint another new chain was put on, and also a rear sprocket with new differential gears. The old sprocket was badly worn and the teeth of the gears showed traces of hard usage.
"I'm glad, Griggs," said Hawkins, with a watery smile "I'm glad you had sense enough to keep your grip going around that sprocket at the bottom. I knew we'd be all right if you didn't let go " "Hawkins," I said viciously, "shut up!" "But oh, good Lord!" I glanced toward the gate. The carriage was driving in. The ladies were in the carriage. Evidently the afternoon euchre had been postponed.
Jimmie, bending over the straightening of a sprocket, would look up and grin, and exclaim, "You bet!" It was winter-time, and darkness came early, and Jimmie was doing his work by electric light in the back of the shop, when Reilly came and mysteriously drew him into a corner. Did he really mean what he said about hatred of war, and willingness to fight against it?
The end, at length, had come; he had entered into his reward and saw himself at last installed in the place he had so long, so silently coveted; saw himself chief of a principality, the Master of the Wheat. The sprocket adjusted, the engineer called up the gang and the men took their places.
