The direct mail campaign consisted of 3 intra-state mailings of 1680 letters each and 6 out-of-state directed to electronics, plastics, pharmaceutical, and business machine manufacturers, and to publishers.

As he applied the applicator extending from the machine -- which consisted of seven differently colored neon tubes superimposed on a rectangular base -- to the supposedly diseased portions of Mrs. Shaefer's body, Lee kept up a steady stream of pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo.

Referring to his 1936 publication, Turing wrote that the Turing machine, here called a Logical Computing Machine, consisted of:

Dial-A-Song consisted of an answering machine with a tape of the band playing various songs.

His electrocardiograph machine consisted of a Lippmann capillary electrometer fixed to a projector.

It was consisted in reading the market informations as price, volume, orders size, speed, conditions, bids for buying and selling, etc ; printed in a paper strip which ran through a machine called a stock ticker.

His modification consisted of a paper tape reader from a teletype machine attached to a small device with metal " feelers " positioned to pass electricity through the holes.

His new songs were incomplete, and some consisted of little more than a drum machine rhythm and lyric fragments he had drawn from a hat.

The machine consisted of between two and 16 cpus, organized as a fault-tolerant computer cluster packaged in a single rack.

The machine consisted of 2, 048 AlphaServer SC nodes ( which are based on AlphaServer ES45 ), each with four 1. 25 GHz Alpha 21264A ( EV67 ) microprocessors and two rails of the Quadrics QsNet network.

The KOL primarily consisted of previously unorganized semi-skilled workmen and machine operators.

The album consisted of Harper's songs and poetry backed by acoustic guitar and recorded with a Revox tape machine by Pierre Tubbs.

A fire team consisted of an antitank gunner, usually armed with a Russian made RPG-7s or RPG-18s, a machine gunner and a sniper.

McCarthy estimates he has typed around five million words on the machine, and maintenance consisted of " blowing out the dust with a service station hose ".

The machine consisted of a wedge-shaped metal box about half a metre on the side, with a keyboard at the front, a cassette tape recorder ( s ) in the middle, and a tiny one-line plasma display at the top.

The secondary armament of the fighting vehicle consisted of two 12. 7 x 108 mm DShK machine guns, one anti-aircraft and one co-axial.

Three days later he was picked up and based on the information that he provided it was determined that the garrison on Guernsey consisted of 469 soldiers, concentrated mainly around St. Peter Port and although there were machine gun posts all along the coast, they were sited in a manner that meant that it would take about twenty minutes between an alarm being raised for reinforcements to be dispatched.

It consisted of 157 machine gun positions and eight artillery positions built of concrete.

The Pasha I formation consisted of eight machine gun companies, the 601st to 608th Machine Gun Companies ( Maschinengewehr-Kompanien 601-608 ); four defence machine gun platoons, the 133rd, 134th, 135th and 136th Balloon Machine Gun Defence Platoons ; as well as the 60th Foot Artillery Battalion and the 350th, 351st and 352nd Trench Mortar Battalions ( Minenwerfer Battalion 350-352 ) of Austrian artillery.

The machine consisted of a life-sized model of a human head and torso, with a black beard and grey eyes, and dressed in Turkish robes and a turban – " the traditional costume ", according to journalist and author Tom Standage, " of an oriental sorcerer.

The secondary armament consisted of two. 30cal Browning machine guns, one in the bow of the hull and one coaxial machine gun in the turret, and a. 50cal Browning M2 on a pintle mount on the turret roof.

The SM. 79's defensive armament consisted of four and later five Breda-SAFAT machine guns.

They are usually armed with machine guns and grenade launchers and usually tracked to provide enough tractive force to push blades and rakes.

This was an efficient machine (~ 80 %) that sent water through a runner with blades curved in one dimension.

A windmill is a machine which converts the energy of wind into rotational energy by means of vanes called sails or blades.

Reducing his size, he crept past the rotating blades of their murderous machine.

While planes had already been used in the war for scouting, on 1 April the French pilot Roland Garros became the first to shoot down an enemy plane by using a machine gun that fired forward through the propeller blades.

His plane was captured and sent to Dutch engineer Anthony Fokker, who soon produced a significant improvement, the interrupter gear, in which the machine gun is synchronized with the propeller so it fires in the intervals when the blades of the propeller are out of the line of fire.

However, in July 1915 the Fokker E. I became operational — this was the first type to enter service with the pioneering example of a " synchronization gear " ( often referred to mistakenly as an " interrupter gear "), the Fokker Stangensteuerung, which enabled a fixed machine gun to fire forwards through the arc of the propeller without striking its blades.

In December 1914, French pilot Roland Garros approached Saulnier to arrange for this device to be installed on his aeroplane but it was not until March 1915 that he took to the air with a forward-firing Hotchkiss 8 mm (. 323 in ) machine gun mounted on his Morane-Saulnier Type L. In addition to the armoured blades, Garros's mechanic, Jules Hue, attached deflector wedges to the blades.

In recent years, the aim has been to develop more permanent beak trimming ( although repeat trimming may be required ), using electrically heated blades in a beak trimming machine, to provide a self-cauterizing cut.

These appeared as early as 1929, but were known as " bull grader " blades, and the term " bulldozer blade " did not appear to come into widespread use until the mid 1930s ' " Bulldozer " now refers to the whole machine not just the attachment.

A lawn mower is a machine that uses a revolving blade or blades to cut a lawn at an even height.

So they had a computer-operated milling machine built to cut the blades, and I was fascinated by that.

However, air fighting became revolutionized when a reconnaissance pilot, Roland Garros, mounted a Hotchkiss machine gun on the cowling of his Morane-Saulnier L and added deflector plates to the blades of the propeller, so that the wooden propeller would not be shot to pieces whenever he opened fire on German aircraft.

Some models also feature a gimballed stirring rod mounted on the lid, constructed so that mixtures can be stirred whilst the machine is running with no chance of the stirrer fouling the blades.

With no interrupter gear yet available for his machine gun, he uses a non-synchronised machine gun and metal deflector wedges installed on the propeller of his Morane Saulnier L fighter to keep the machine gun from shooting his own propeller blades off.

This helicopter was the first flying machine to have risen from the ground using rotor blades instead of wings.

During the First World War, he created a small stir at the War Office by sending them a design for an interrupter gear to allow a machine gun to fire from a propeller-driven aeroplane without damaging the propeller's blades, and also a design for a gyroscopic stabilizer for aircraft.

Lamés are wired by use of a body cord to a scoring machine, which allows the other person's weapon to register touches when their blades ( or tips, in foil ) contact the lamé.

Similarly, many unpowered ' push ' cylinder lawnmowers use a freewheel to drive the blades: these are geared or chain-driven to rotate at high speed and the freewheel prevents their momentum being transferred in the reverse direction through the drive when the machine is halted.

The standard French light machine gun, the Hotchkiss, was also most unamenable to synchronisation due to rounds " hanging fire " – the Morane-Saulnier company designed a " safety backup " in the form of " deflector blades " ( metal wedges ) fitted to the propeller at the point where they would be struck by a bullet.

In July 1915 the Fokker E. I became operational – this was the first type of aircraft to enter service with a " synchronisation gear " which enabled a machine gun to fire through the arc of the propeller without striking its blades.
