The sword-sheath is made from two slips of hard wood, cut to fit together exactly, leaving a space accurately shaped for the lodgment of the sword-blade. Their shapes are very good; the dish is generally provided with one or two "ears" or flanges for the grip of the hands, and these are cunningly decorated with carved designs or inlaid pieces of shell or pottery.
In order to reduce the wear of the leading flanges, a jet of steam from the exhaust is directed against the outer side of each wheel.
What would send you to the police station only gives us a thirst. S-s-set out another bottle." It is slow work trying to meet death by that route. Some quicker way must be found. They leave the saloon and plunge again into the mist. The sidewalks are mere flanges at the base of the houses; the street a cold ravine, the fog filling it like a freshet. Not far away is the Mexican quarter.
The binding plates weigh together about 25 tons, and the foundation plates 90 tons. The entablature of the frame work weighs 30 tons; on it is placed the steam cylinder, single acting, made in two pieces, each 3 meters long united by flanges and bolts. As the weight of the hammer is 100 tons, it is evident that it can be raised with great velocity.
"When one of these heavy sleepers stops swinging," said Patsy, "and just seems to stand still and shiver, she's going; and when she begins to slam her flanges up against the rail, first one side and then the other, she has passed a sixty-mile gait, and that's what this car is doing now." Mrs.

I heard my flanges zippin' along the ties, an' the next I knew I was playin' 'Sally, Sally Waters' in the corn, my tender shuckin' coal through my cab, an' old man Evans lyin' still an' bleedin' in front o' me.

How still the world outside as the cloud wove in darkness its mantle of light! Day was breaking. The crimson curtains of the bedroom were drawn close, but from behind their outer edges faint flanges of light began to advance along the wall.
