and gasoline, taken in the order of application
The three kinds of power used to run automobiles are steam, electricity,
and gasoline, taken in the order of application. The steam-engines in
motor-cars are not very different from the engines used to run
locomotives, factory machinery, or street-rollers, but they are much
lighter and, of course, smaller–very much smaller in proportion […]

lines of 32d Street, were underpinned in a manner similar to the
building foundations, while those on the center line of the street were
supported by girders riveted to them close under the track level
The Elevated Railroad columns in Sixth Avenue, near the north and south
lines of 32d Street, were underpinned in a manner similar to the
building […]

at the present time, and some of them
claim that this form produces the best results
This is the practice with most of the manufacturers
at the present time, and some of them
claim that this form produces the best results.

_A._–The iron of boilers, like the iron of machines or structures, is
capable of withstanding a tensile strain of from 50,000 to 60,000 lbs. upon
every square inch of section; but it will only bear a third of this strain
without permanent derangement of structure, and it does not appear
expedient in any boiler to let the strain exceed […]

576. _Q._–And seeing that the vessels are of the same mould and power, so
that neither can derive an advantage from a variation in that condition,
does not the preponderance of the screw vessel show that the screw must be
the most powerful propeller?

unimpressed by his feat
Samson did not say any of this to the outsiders who were
unimpressed by his feat. Nor did the hackers themselves discuss
this–it is not even clear that they analyzed the phenomenon in
such cosmic terms. Peter Samson did it, and his colleagues
appreciated it, because it was obviously a neat hack. That […]

author”s manuscript to printing press–that is, to substitute a machine
for the skilled hands that set the type from which a book or magazine is
printed
For many years it was thought impossible to find a short cut from
author”s manuscript to printing press–that is, to substitute a machine
for the skilled hands that set the type from which a […]

diameter, rotating 500 times a minute, has a tip
speed of 1500 feet, whereas a six foot propeller,
rotating at the same speed, moves 3000 feet at the
tips
Thus, for instance, a propeller three feet in
diameter, rotating 500 times a minute, has a tip
speed of 1500 feet, whereas a six foot propeller,
rotating at the same speed, moves 3000 […]

you any instructions about how to regulate it to speed
Now if I should drop the governor, you might say that I had not given
you any instructions about how to regulate it to speed. I really do not
know whether it is worth while to say much about it, for governors are
of different designs and are […]

This could be readily remedied by using a
clutch, but in the past this has been regarded as
one of the weight luxuries that all have been trying
to avoid. Self starters are readily provided,
and this with the provision […]
