when Latham went up, to be followed almost immediately by the
Comte de Lambert
Wind and rain kept competitors out of the air until the evening,
when Latham went up, to be followed almost immediately by the
Comte de Lambert. Sommer, Cockburn (the only English
competitor), Delagrange, Fournier, Lefebvre, Bleriot,
Bunau-Varilla, Tissandier, Paulhan, and Ferber turned out after
the first two, […]

inside the regulator
Any withdrawal of gas will, of course, lower the pressure of that remaining
inside the regulator. The spring tension, remaining at the point determined
by the operator, will overcome this lessened pressure of the gas, and the
valve will again open and admit enough more gas to bring the pressure back
to the starting point. This action […]

before it was generally discovered that the telephone
is not an ear, but a nerve system; and that
such an experiment as a duplicate nerve system
has never been attempted by Nature, even in her
most frivolous moods
This duplication went merrily on for years
before it was generally discovered that the telephone
is not an ear, but a nerve system; and […]

Professor Wellner, an Austrian; and W
Later experimenters in this direction were Kress, a German;
Professor Wellner, an Austrian; and W. R. Kimball, an American.
Kress, like most Germans, set to the development of an idea
which others had originated; he followed de la Landelle and
Forlanini by fitting two superposed propellers revolving in
opposite directions, and with this machine he […]

In the above year, Thomas L. Willson, an electrical engineer of Spray,
North Carolina, was experimenting in an attempt to prepare metallic
calcium, for which purpose he employed an electric furnace operating on a
mixture of lime and coal tar with about ninety-five horse power. The result
was a molten mass which became hard and brittle when cool. This […]

they reach the welding temperature at the same time
It is absolutely necessary that both parts be heated uniformly and so that
they reach the welding temperature at the same time. For this reason they
should be as close together in the fire as possible and side by side. When
removed to be hammered together, time is saved if […]

the variations set up by the transmitter pass through the condenser
and the receiver at the same station, while the steady current which
supplies the transmitter passes through the impedance coil
In considering the action of the station as a transmitting station,
the variations set up by the transmitter pass through the condenser
and the receiver at the same station, […]

switchboard
The Monarch Company provides in another way for code signaling at the
switchboard. In some cases there is a special attachment, shown in
Fig. 260, by means of which the code signals are repeated on the
night-alarm bell. This is in the nature of a special attachment
placed on the drop, which consists of a light, flat spring attached […]

battery, has given place to the ‘cell’ shown in figure II, where
the two plates Z C are immersed in acidulated water within the
vessel, and connected outside by the wire W
This form of the voltaic, or, as it is sometimes called, galvanic
battery, has given place to the ‘cell’ shown in figure II, where
the two plates Z […]

agency of electricity, sounds produced at a sending point
Telephony is the art of reproducing at a distant point, usually by the
agency of electricity, sounds produced at a sending point. In this art
the elements of two general divisions of physical science are
concerned, sound and electricity.
