These would become known as " punch top " cans, as they required a opener tool, typically a wedge shaped metal cutter that latched onto the top rim for leverage where lifting it by hand would cut a triangular opening at the top edge of the can.

This eliminated the need for a separate opener tool by attaching an aluminium pull-ring lever with a rivet to a pre-scored wedge-shaped tab section of the can top.

It was like having an opener tool built into every can.

( An unusual feature of the push-tab Coors Beer cans was that they had a second smaller push-tab at the top as an airflow vent — a convenience that was lost with the switch from can opener to pull-tab.

`` That is, if we can be sure this is Colcord's money '' --

The true artist is like one of those scientists who, from a single bone can reconstruct an animal's entire body.

It is nothing you can put your fingers on but the air suddenly fills with a high charge of electricity.

It is Eromonga -- look hard, you can see with your naked eye the wooden scaffolding on the cliff ''.

`` All right, if you can't do your arithmetic during school hours you can do it after school is out '', Miss Langford said firmly, not smiling.

Accidental war is so sensitive a subject that most of the people who could become directly involved in one are told just enough so they can perform their portions of incredibly complex tasks.

The box is internally wired so the door can never be opened without setting off a screeching klaxon ( `` It's real obnoxious '' ).

The stink is all the same to me, but I really think they can make one another out blindfolded ''.

It is well then that in this hour both of `` national peril '' and of `` national opportunity '' we can take counsel with the men who made the nation.

but they can hardly deny that, exaggerated or not, the old panorama is dead.

As his disciples boast, even though his emphasis is elsewhere, Faulkner does show his awareness of the changing order of the South quite keenly, as can be proven by a quick recalling of his Sartoris and Snopes families.

An order can be chanced rather than chosen, and this approach produces an experience that is `` free and discovered rather than bound and remembered ''.

The professed mission of this disaffiliated generation is to find a new way of life which they can express in poetry and fiction, but what they produce is unfortunately disordered, nourished solely on the hysteria of negation.

All such imitations of negative quality have given rise to a compensatory response in the form of a heroic and highly individualistic humanism: if man can neither know nor love reality as it is, he can at least invent an artistic `` reality '' which is its own world and which can speak to man of purely personal and subjective qualities capable of being known and worthy of being loved.

A secondary advantage is that it can be built into a device ( such as a pocket-sized computer or a bicycle handlebar ) that is too small to contain a normal-sized keyboard.

Smaller pocket-sized " pocket scopes " can be used for less stringent applications.

To the general public, the prefix " transistor " means a pocket radio ; it can be used to refer to any small radio, but the term itself is now obsolete, since virtually all commercial broadcast receivers, pocket-sized or not, are now transistor-based.
