Low thrust engines can perform an approximation of a Hohmann transfer orbit, by creating a gradual enlargement of the initial circular orbit through carefully timed engine firings.

The initial concept developed in the mid-1950s was for a very fast ( 55 knot / 100 km / h ), deep-diving torpedo driven by an internal combustion engine, carrying high pressure oxygen as oxidant, guided by a wire system developed from the Mackle wire-guidance study dated 1952 using data transmitted from the firing submarine sonars and using an autonomous active / passive sonar developed from the abandoned 1950s UK PENTANE torpedo project.

With the exception of one harsh initial review predicting that it would barely work – which was rebuffed by Sullivan, it was apparently well received and Sullivan ’ s description appeared in the Edinburgh Philosophical Journal along with an introduction praising American steam engine and boat refinements.

The pusher engine ran continuously, the tractor engine was used for take-off and initial climb to altitude, then was shut down.

The initial changes included substitution of the ' slot & tab ' couplers with tinplated, knuckle shaped semi-automatic ones on the higher priced 10 " freight cars and steam engine tenders.

To play off of his character's name, Nash's initial entrance music was a simple series of truck engine noises along with loud horns beeping.

The initial attempts to redesign the P-47 to accommodate a jet engine proved futile due to the large cross-section of the early centrifugal compressor turbojets.

`` Damn you, Adams '' -- Jess was beginning to recover from his initial shock.

As he talked about himself, time and again stuffing and dragging on his pipe, Steinberg began to relax and the initial hurried feeling grew faint and was dispelled.

With facts mainly in his mind, he was often acute in the matter of style, and he said, `` The young who have as yet nothing to say will try larks with initial letters and broken lines.

In each case there was an initial act of violence.

This aircraft, which was planned for initial operational use about 1965, would be complementary to but likewise competitive with the four strategic ballistic missile systems, all of which are scheduled to become available earlier.

A satisfactory cloud was produced even though these nozzles were only about 5 per cent efficient in producing an initial cloud in the size range of 1 to 5 microns.

In this case, then, the military objective was accomplished with an epidemic agent solely through the results secured in the initial attack.

Such a dual derivation was strikingly demonstrated during the injection process where initial filling would be noted to occur in several isolated pleural vessels at once.

At no time was it implied by the experimenter that the subject's initial reaction was deviant.

There was no implication made that their initial reaction ( absence of an arm-elevation ) was less preferred than the presence of levitation.

Moreover, it is too readily forgotten that in the Republic what gave the initial impetus to Plato's excursus into the construction of an imaginary commonwealth with its ruling-class communism of goods, wives, and children, was his quest for a canon for the proper ordering of the individual human psyche ; ;

Abbreviations have been used as long as phonetic scripts have existed, in some sense actually being more common in early literacy, where spelling out a whole word was often avoided, initial letters commonly being used to represent words in specific application.
