The office was at first 'temporarily closed, and then let to the new company for Bridging the Dardanelles on the Tubular Principle. The engine of the Long Range Excavators, according to the last report, had foundered but whether in the brain of Crushcliff, the engineer, or on the Scilly Rocks, we could not clearly make out.
In a calm such speed would have been difficult and the rate would have sunk to that of an express. In a head-wind the speed would have been unbearable. Phil Evans was not mistaken. Below the "Albatross" appeared Montreal, easily recognizable by the Victoria Bridge, a tubular bridge thrown over the St. Lawrence like the railway viaduct over the Venice lagoon.
At Pallini, not far from Athens, an attempt was made to destroy the transmitter hall by dropping one of the antenna towers onto it, but the equipment was not damaged. They were more successful at the Royal Navy transmitting site at Votanikos. Here they tried to destroy six 300 foot tubular masts. One remained standing and also the lower part of another.
The vessels are blown by three engines. The Bessemer works are supplied with steam by a battery of twenty-one tubular boilers. The best average, although not the very highest work done in the Bessemer department is 103 heats of eight and a half tons each for twenty-four hours.
He was held motionless in the invisible grip of the attractors, at the point where the force of those peculiar magnets was exactly balanced by the outward thrust of the repellers. By manipulating the attractor holding it, Seaton brought the strange tubular weapon into the control-room through a small air-lock in the wall and examined it curiously, but did not touch it.
From its hinder end a couple of vesicles develop the simple tubular rudiments of the right and left lungs. They afterwards increase considerably in size, fill the greater part of the thoracic cavity, and take the heart between them. Even in the frogs we find that the simple sac has developed into a spongy body of peculiar froth-like tissue.
Siphonaceae Plants found in the sea, fresh water, or on damp ground; of a membranous or horny byaline substance, filled with green or colorless granular matter. Fronds consisting of continuous tubular filaments, either free or collected into spongy masses of various shapes. Crustaceous, globular, cylindrical, or flat.
They became extinct at the end of the Silurian. The corals of the SYRINGOPORA family are similar in structure to chain corals, but the tubular columns are connected only in places. The blastoid is stemmed and armless, and its globular "head" or "calyx," with its five petal-like divisions, resembles a flower bud.
Figs. 14 and 15 are the front and sectional elevation of one of the boilers of the U.S. steamer Water Witch. For land purposes the lowest range of tubes is generally omitted, and the smoke makes a last return beneath the bottom of the boiler. Figs. 17 and 18 are the transverse and longitudinal sections of a tubular boiler, built in 1837 by R.L. Stevens for the steamboat Independence.
In those days the tubular bridge had not yet been thought of; but the beautiful suspension bridge at Menai was already in existence, and was the most remarkable bridge then existing in the world. I was more struck by the beauty of the structure than by its costliness or size; the journal says, "It is indeed wonderfully beautiful."
