Floats can be made of different materials, such as sheet brass soldered into a hollow shape, or of plastic ; hollow floats can spring small leaks and plastic floats can eventually become porous and lose their flotation ; in either case the float will fail to float, fuel level will be too high, and the engine will not run unless the float is replaced.

But before discussing it, I should like to record one vote of thanks to them for the clarity with which they have stated their case.

Unusual in a case like this, but '' --

( Expressed more technically, in each case the pair ( m, n ) decreases in the lexicographic order on pairs, which is a well-ordering, just like the ordering of single non-negative integers ; this means one cannot go down in the ordering infinitely many times in succession.

The less a given case is like the paradigm, the weaker the justification is for treating that case like the paradigmatic case.

Odds can also be placed on a don't come-bet just like a pass line bet ; in this case the dealer ( not the player ) places the odds bet on top of the bet in the box, because of limited space, slightly offset to signify that it is an odds bet and not part of the original don't come bet.
