Other sticks commonly used are rutes, consisting of a bundle of canes, and wire or nylon drum brushes.

The snare drum is almost always double-headed, with rattles ( called snares ) of gut, metal wire or synthetics stretched across one or both heads.

Some of the smallest machines for cotton covering have a large drum, which grips the wire and moves it through toothed gears ; the wire passes through the centre of disks mounted above a long bed, and the disks carry each a number of bobbins varying from six to twelve or more in different machines.

In older printers, a corona wire positioned parallel to the drum, or in more recent printers, a primary charge roller, projects an electrostatic charge onto the photoreceptor ( otherwise named the photo conductor unit ), a revolving photosensitive drum or belt, which is capable of holding an electrostatic charge on its surface while it is in the dark.

Certain models measure the mass using a pen on a rotating drum, or by using a vibrating wire attached to a data logger.

While the modern snare drum almost always uses metal wire rather than gut cord, the North African bendir frame drum still uses gut for this purpose.

The first system employed a modified Muirhead drum facsimile transmitter, and hard-copy printer using pressure-sensitive " till-roll " paper passing over a drum with a raised helix of steel wire.

Onto the drum a long length of wire rope was wound, which was used to haul an implement, such as a plough, across a field.

Each drum had 104 wire brushes which made contact with the plate onto which they were loaded.

RCA manufactured and maintained the electronics utilizing an RCA 501 computer with 32k " high speed memory ", 5-76KC 556 bpi 3 / 4 " tape drives and a 200 track random access LFE drum to maintain wire connection lists at RCA's Astro Electronics Division facility in Hightstown, NJ.

The wire spokes were a buffer or absorber between the driver's hands and the drum of the road.

Factory options for the Arnolt Bristols included a front sway bar, remote shifter, 11-inch Alfin drum brakes, convertible top, bumpers, Borrani KO steel wheels ( nine sets were sold, and one car was sold with Borrani wire wheels ) and several different rear end gear ratios.

Programming the 305 involved not only writing machine language instructions to be stored on the drum memory, but also almost every unit in the system ( including the computer itself ) could be programmed by inserting wire jumpers into a plugboard control panel.

Poulsen's device recorded a signal on a wire wrapped around a drum.

Cutler went on to wire his entire drum kit, using a 16 channel mixer with multi-effect processors, a " Space pedal ", a " Whammy pedal ", a PDS 8000 and an old Boss pitch shifter / delay unit.

A wire connected to the upper drum mechanism and passes out through the bottom right of the cabinet and runs over a pulley to drop down to the float system in the large pipe in the well.

Perry once buried microphones at the base of a palm tree and thumped it rhythmically to produce a mystifying bass drum effect and his drum booth at the Black Ark was for a time surrounded with chicken wire to further his distinctive sound.

The signature piano wire wheels used splines between the brake drum and rim, and relied on the radial spokes to handle cornering loads.

The usual design consists of a cast-iron bench or table having a bracket standing up to hold the die, and a vertical drum which rotates and by coiling the wire around its surface pulls it through the die, the coil of wire being stored upon another drum or " swift " which lies behind the die and reels off the wire as fast as required.

The most basic building block of these systems is the electric wire, and SWNTs with diameters of an order of a nanometer can be excellent conductors.

Grits can also be fried in a pan or molded to create a firm block ; the resulting block can be cut with a knife or wire, and the slices fried in a fat such as vegetable oil, butter, or bacon grease.

Inductors used to block very high frequencies are sometimes made by stringing a ferrite cylinder or bead on a wire.

This was simply a wooden block with wire protrusions designed to keep cows from breaching the fence.

The ranchers in place, especially in the Texas Panhandle, knew that their holdings could not support the grazing of additional cattle, so the only alternative was to block the migrations with barb wire fencing.

Later, the British began using blockhouses built within machine gun range of one another and flanked by barbed wire to slow the Boers ' movement across the countryside and block paths to valuable targets.

This junction block usually includes a lightning arrestor ( which requires a wire to earth ground.

Also some of the tasks that had been assigned were impractical or had not been rehearsed — the wire intended for use as a road block was too heavy to carry from the beach — and intelligence relating to enemy dispositions upon the island was at best outdated or completely wrong.

In their simplest form, they are just a small block of metal attached to a loop of cord or wire.

In 2009, Saudi Arabia oversaw a project to begin installing an advanced security network along the border and began construction of a barbed wire fence along most of the 1, 600-kilometer border to block the flow of thousands of Shi ' ite rebels and their supporters from Yemen to the Saudi kingdom.

Unlike a block diagram or layout diagram, a circuit diagram shows the actual wire connections being used.

Bolted to a bracket in the gas block, under the barrel, is a lightweight folding bipod ( folds into the handguard ), which includes a wire cutter in the hinge.

* Pendant: A length of wire or rope secured at one end to a mast or spar and having a block or other fitting at the lower end.

Some file cabinets have a metal plate or wire structure at the back of each drawer which is known as a follower block.

A block travels along this wire, and a halyard is attached to this block.

One halyard, the peak halyard, has a block, sometimes just a shackle, that allows the gunter ( wire parallel to the gaff and fixed to it at two points on its upper ( or leading ) surface ) to raise the gaff into the vertical position up against and parallel to the mast.

As an example, a block diagram of a radio is not expected to show each and every wire and dial and switch, but the schematic diagram is.

Prior to stepping off, Travis crossed " no man's land " in daylight and destroyed a wire obstacle that threatened to block the path of the battalion's advance.

Having cut his way under point-blank fire, through wire entanglements, he dislodged an enemy machine-gun and established a " block ".

Transfer from one area of the Zone to another can only be accomplished at certain specific passageways ; wire fences and extreme radiation levels block the player from attempting to cross the map in any other area.

Chicken wire commonly used in construction has been found to block or attenuate Wi-Fi, cellular and other radio frequency transmissions by inadvertently creating a Faraday cage.

Circuit pairs are connected to the block with a punch-down tool by terminating the tip wire on the leftmost slot of one row and ring wire on the leftmost slot of the row beneath the mating tip wire.
