Also, if laced together with rope instead of wire, the rope can be very quickly destroyed by such fires, after which the abatis can be quickly pulled apart by grappling hooks thrown from a safe distance.

Once these posts and bracing have been erected, the wire is wrapped around one corner post, held with a hitch ( a timber hitch works well for this ) often using a staple to hold the height and then reeled out along the span of the fence replacing the role every 400 m. It is then wrapped around the opposite corner post, pulled tightly with wire stretchers, and sometimes nailed with more fence staples, although this may make readjustment of tension or replacement of the wire more difficult.

It typically resolved when the wire is pulled back.

The engines that pulled trains along the tracks burned coal or oil ; from their smokestacks a dense black smog rose toward the apartment houses, coating windowsills with grit ... stench seemed to hang over Riverside Drive endlessly after each passage of a train carrying south to the slaughterhouses in downtown Manhattan carload after carload of cattle and pigs.

At the same time, WaMu suffered a massive run ( mostly via electronic banking over the internet and wire transfer ); customers pulled out $ 16. 7 billion in deposits in a ten-day span.

Two hundred yards from the wire, Seabiscuit pulled away again and continued to extend his lead over the closing stretch, finally winning by four clear lengths despite War Admiral's running his best time for the distance.

The tunnel was very steep with an incline of 1: 3. 5, rolling stock was originally pulled up to the surface using a wire rope and a winch.

The wire is pulled rapidly across a recording head which magnetizes each point along the wire in accordance with the intensity and polarity of the electrical audio signal being supplied to the recording head at that instant.

Because the wire was pulled past the head by the take-up spool, the actual wire speed slowly increased as the effective diameter of the take-up spool increased.

The gag is Bugs still holding on to the telephone – and a cartoon policeman with a thick Irish accent is pulled out of the telephone wire onto the road (" Operator – we've been disconnected!

The dropping weight pulled the wire rope, which pulled the blade cutting the rubber band, and the wire rope pulled the halves of the cover away from the launch vehicle.

While some types of cable are protected by flexible spiraled metal armor, it is more common for conduit and ductwork to be installed empty and the wire pulled in later.

However, a wire pulled with enough force to stretch the wire, but not break it, creates a hazard of future failure or fire.

She had to clean the glass on the display cases in the butcher shop, help her brother scrub the cutting tables with wire brushes, mop the floors, put down new sawdust on the floors and help check the outgoing orders.

Looking around slowly, he saw a marble fireplace, a desk, a low bookcase of mahogany with criss-crossed brass wire instead of glass panes in the doors.

a pile of wire cages for mice from his time as a geneticist and a microscope lying on its side on the window sill, vertical steel columns wired for support to the open ceiling beams with spidery steel cantilevers jutting out into the air, masonry constructions on the floor from the time he was inventing his disastrous fireplace whose smoke would pass through a whole house, visible all the way up through wire gratings on each floor.

The accuracy of measuring the total electrical energy entering an exploding wire during a few microseconds was verified when two independent types of comparison with the heat energy produced had an uncertainty of less than 2 percent.

The element is inserted in the discharge circuit in place of the exploding wire, and the calorimetric heating of the element is measured with high accuracy.

Oersted's own earlier experiments were unimpressive, possibly because he had, like other experimenters, laid the conducting wire across the compass needle instead of parallel with it.

he had aged thirty years, and his face, the color of tallow, was crisscrossed with wrinkles, as though it had been wrapped in chicken wire.

The fences on both sides of the road bristled with the barbed wire.

And then off he went so casually, to someone else with breasts better developed, more obvious in a lower-cut dress, someone without a mouthful of wire bands and an inability to find words that would hold him.

The Russian abacus, the schoty ( счёты ), usually has a single slanted deck, with ten beads on each wire ( except one wire which has four beads, for quarter-ruble fractions.

* Cal-Earth ( The California Institute of Earth Art and Architecture ) has developed a patented system called Superadobe, in which bags filled with stabilized earth are layered with strands of barbed wire to form a structure strong enough to withstand earthquakes, fire and flood.

Carryout Chinese food is typically served in a Oyster pail | paper carton with a wire bail.

The trees are usually interlaced or tied with wire.

Abatis are used alone or in combination with wire entanglements and other obstacles.

One method of modification known as wire-modding involves connecting the appropriate CPU pins on the CPU socket with small lengths of wire to select the appropriate multiplier.

Metal samples from large grained alloys may be simple to fabricate, particularly from wire samples, with hand-electropolishing techniques giving good results.

Various types of freshwater pearl s mounted with silver wire to a sterling chain.

Beads can be woven together with specialized thread, strung onto thread or soft, flexible wire, or adhered to a surface ( e. g. fabric, clay ).

This is a system by which a steel or iron wire framework is built in the shape of a boat's hull and covered ( trowelled ) over with cement.

The tube is wider and its top is covered with a wire grid.

Brooks's institute has charged varying fees to prospective clients who wished to learn how to live without food, which have ranged from US $ 100, 000 with an initial deposit of $ 10, 000 to one billion dollars, to be paid via bank wire transfer with a preliminary deposit of $ 100, 000, for a session called " Immortality workshop ".

Considering that the drive motors in some of these ( such as teleprinters for news wire services ) ran 24 hours a day for years the spring could not be allowed to stay in close contact with the driving cylinder ; wear would be excessive.

When substation meters are located far from the meter cabinets, the excessive length of wire creates a large resistance.

* Variable transconductance (" vari-mu ", " remote-cutoff " or " super-control ") tubes in general are those with a non-uniform grid wire spacing to allow them to handle a wide range of input signal levels without excessive cross-modulation distortion, and so useful in Radio frequency stages where Automatic gain control is applied to the pentode.

Moving iron ammeters use a piece of iron which moves when acted upon by the electromagnetic force of a fixed coil of wire.

When a metal wire is subjected to electric force applied on its opposite ends, these free electrons rush in the direction of the force, thus forming what we call an electric current.

The force on the compass needle did not direct it to or away from the current-carrying wire, but acted at right angles to it.

The magnet exerted a tangential force on the wire, making it circle around the magnet for as long as the current was maintained.

Variations on this basic formula describe the magnetic force on a current-carrying wire ( sometimes called Laplace force ), the electromotive force in a wire loop moving through a magnetic field ( an aspect of Faraday's law of induction ), and the force on a particle which might be traveling near the speed of light ( relativistic form of the Lorentz force ).

The magnetic force component of the Lorentz force manifests itself as the force that acts on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field.

They charged a leyden jar ( a kind of capacitor ), and measured the electrostatic force associated with the potential ; then, they discharged it while measuring the magnetic force from the current in the discharge wire.

However, electrostatics alone is insufficient to explain the force a charged particle experiences in other situations, such as when it moves in the vicinity of a current-carrying wire.

In mechanics cables, otherwise known as wire ropes, are used for lifting, hauling and towing or conveying force through tension.

The time-rate of change of the magnetic flux through a loop of wire is minus the electromotive force created in that wire.

The direction is such that if current is allowed to pass through the wire, the electromotive force will cause a current which " opposes " the change in magnetic field by itself producing a magnetic field opposite to the change.
