Σελίδα 381 - To find the circumference of a circle, multiply the diameter by 3.1416. To find the area of a circle, multiply the diameter by itself, and the result by .7854.
Σελίδα 390 - ... preferably by riveting a suitable brass or copper plate to the frame, which should be first thoroughly scraped; soldering as well as riveting being recommended. The cable in turn should be sweated to a suitable terminal lug which is then clamped or bolted to said plate. All "grounds" should be installed so as to be readily accessible and removable on the completed car. Apparatus intentionally "grounded...
Σελίδα 204 - The last winding is a noninductive coil having half the turns wound in each direction around the core. The reverse and noninductive windings are in parallel with the contacts and add resistance to the field circuit when the contacts are open. This prevents the generator output from becoming too great at high car speeds.
Σελίδα 381 - Doubling the diameter of a pipe increases its capacity four times. To find the pressure in pounds per square inch at the base of a column of water, multiply the height of the column in feet by .433.
Σελίδα 273 - H2SO4, until no more sulphate remains and all the acid has been returned to the electrolyte. It will then be of the same strength as before the discharge and the same acid will be ready to be used over again during the next discharge. Since there is no loss of acid, none should be added to the electrolyte.

Σελίδα 248 - ... the driving-shaft end plate of the magneto. The collector brush, which is held in contact with the collector ring by the brush holder at the shaft end of the magneto, receives the high-tension current collected by the collector ring, and by means of the conducting bar under the arch of the magneto, passes the current to the metal contact in the center of the distributor plate.
Σελίδα 396 - left" are to the right- and left-hands when sitting in one of the seats of the car. Studs, screws and bolts shall take names from parts they serve to hold in place, although they are assembled with other parts. For example, the cylinder stud is permanently screwed into crankcase but holds the cylinder in place. The name "engine" should be used rather than "motor" to avoid confusion with electric motors and to secure a lower freight rate.
