For them this was no time to cease firing, even as the survivors of the crew appeared on the outer casing, struggling out of their clothes to swim away from her.

Originally, the Great Pyramid was covered by casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface ; what is seen today is the underlying core structure.

The Tura limestone used for the casing was quarried across the river.

At completion, the Great Pyramid was surfaced by white " casing stones " – slant-faced, but flat-topped, blocks of highly polished white limestone.

He suggested a redetermination of north was made after the construction of the core, but a mistake was made, and the casing was built with a different orientation.

The casing was partitioned, and through this opening the barrel shaft was journaled.

In front of the casing was a cam with spiral surfaces.

Also in the casing was a cocking ring with projections to cock and fire the gun.

Some earlier optical keyboards were limited in their structure and required special casing to block external light, no multi-key functionality was supported and the design was very limited to a thick rectangular case.

The original height of the Pyramid was 146. 5 m ( 488 ft ), but today it is only 137 m ( 455 ft ) high, the 9 m ( 33 ft ) that is missing is due to the theft of the fine quality limestone covering, or casing stones, to build houses and Mosques in Cairo.

The explosive charge in the shell was to be just enough to break the casing rather than scatter the shot in all directions.

Some Typex rotors came in two parts — a slug containing the wiring was inserted into a metal casing.

The EX was a compact computer that had the keyboard and 5. 25 " floppy drive built into the computer casing.

The Tandy 1000 TX was very similar to the Tandy 1000, having an external keyboard and similar casing.

In the thermonuclear Starfish Prime the fission yield was less than 100 % to begin with, and then the thicker outer casing absorbed about 95 % of the prompt gamma rays from the pusher around the fusion stage.

It was found that the wood casing of her lead coffin had been removed to create space for the interment of her great-great grandson, James I.

Also required for the construction was of oil well casing which was necessary to store the approximately of pressurized air used to simulate ramjet flight conditions for Pluto.

All that remained at daybreak was the portside paddlebox casing.

The original Eley-Boxer cartridge case was made of thin-coiled brass — occasionally these cartridges could break apart and jam the breech with the unwound remains of the casing upon firing.

Interestingly, it seems that even though the foundations for the outer casing of the pyramid were led, the casing itself was never mounted.

The cast-iron block Slant-6 gained a reputation for dependability as it was initially engineered as an aluminum block engine with a robust casing.

* The moulded plastic casing of the first ANITA calculators was particularly complicated for the time, and required development of new techniques by the moulding company.

Inside the casing of the M-209, a much more complicated picture emerges.

The principal advantages of compound turbines are the reduction in size of any one casing, the confinement of the highest pressure to the smaller casing ( which may be made of stronger and more expensive materials ) and the possibility of divided flow in the low-pressure casing for the purpose of equalizing end thrusts.

Nevertheless, a few of the casing stones from the lowest course can be seen to this day in situ around the base of the Great Pyramid, and display the same workmanship and precision as has been reported for centuries.

The casing contains and directs the working fluid and, for water turbines, maintains the suction imparted by the draft tube.

Magnetic tape is commonly housed in a casing known as a cassette or cartridge — for example, the 4-track cartridge and the compact cassette.

The 117, 000 pound Castor 120 first stage has a propellant mass fraction of 92. 23 % while the 31, 000 pound Castor 30 upper stage recently developed for Orbital Science's Taurus II COTS ( International Space Station resupply ) launch vehicle has a 91. 3 % propellant fraction with 2. 9 % graphite epoxy motor casing, 2. 4 % nozzle, igniter and thrust vector actuator, and 3. 4 % non-motor hardware including such things as payload mount, interstage adapter, cable raceway, instrumentation, etc.

Charles Bartley, employed at JPL ( Caltech ), substituted curable synthetic rubber for the gooey asphalt, creating a flexible but geometrically stable load-bearing propellant grain that bonded securely to the motor casing.

When the bomb detonated, the casing would contain the explosion long enough for mechanical shock to heat and compress the fusion fuel, and for fission neutrons to ignite nuclear fusion.

The ink ribbon also does not easily dry out, including both the ribbon stored in the casing as well as the portion that is stretched in front of the print head ; this unique property allows the dot-matrix printer to be used in environments where printer duty can be rare, for instance, as with a Fire Alarm Control Panel's output.

The main objective is not to put the gas in the water line, but to allow it to flow up the backside of the well ( casing ) and into the pipeline, where it can be transported to the compressor station and delivered to the customer for sales.

A modern Cartridge ( firearms ) | cartridge consists of the following: 1. the bullet, which serves as the projectile ; 2. the casing ( ammunition ) | case, which holds all parts together ; 3. the propellant, for example gunpowder or cordite ; 4. the rim, which provides the extractor on the firearm a place to grip the casing to remove it from the chamber once fired ; 5. the percussion cap | primer, which ignites the propellant.

The design process prepares the work for printing through processes such as typesetting, dust jacket composition, specification of paper quality, binding method and casing, and proofreading.

They may be heated after casing, and they will keep only for a few days.

In many areas, " sausage meat " for frying and stuffing into poultry and meat is sold as slices cut from an oblong block of pressed meat without casing: in Scotland this is known as Lorne Sausage or often sliced sausage or square sausage, while the usual form is sometimes called sausage links.

Some chorizo is so loose that it spills out of its casing as soon as it is cut ; this crumbled chorizo is a popular filling for torta sandwiches, eggs, breakfast burritos and tacos.

Unlike the original variety native to Northern France, Louisiana andouille has evolved to be made mainly of pork butt, not tripe, and tends to be spicy with a flavor far too strong for the mustard sauce that traditionally accompanies French andouille: prior to casing, the meat is heavily spiced with cayenne and black pepper.

Sausage without casing is called " sausage meat " and can be fried or used as stuffing for poultry, or for wrapping foods like Scotch eggs.

Another British and Irish food is black pudding, consisting of congealed pig's blood with oatmeal made into sausage-like links with pig intestine as a casing, then boiled and is usually fried on preparation.

The " Cointreau " was actually a bomb constructed of a British plastic explosive " Plastic C " placed into the casing of a British magnetic mine, with a timer consisting of a spring which would be gradually dissolved by acid.

The original British pressing of the album featured a controversial hidden image in the jewel casing.
