He dropped the weight, but the beam never moved, and I still sat on the lowest scale.
Attached to a pivot is a long beam having a pestle at one end and a trough at the other.
The end of the little beam had already been made small, so that it would go in.
Then he made a sort of sloping hole, a kind of a little square trench, and it went from the side of the beam into the square hole.
And he turned the big beam on edge, and fitted the end of the little beam into the hole.
So David put his little hand into the foreman's big one, and they started; and David saw some men putting up a great, tall beam on one of the corners.
Two men were holding it, and another man reached up as high as he could and nailed a board to it, and the other end of the board was fastened down low, so that the tall beam shouldn't fall over when the men let go.

At the other end of the tube is a lens, so that the beam of light from the slit emerges through the lens as a pencil of parallel rays.
Our knowledge concerning the chemistry of the stars has been obtained by means of the spectroscope, in which a beam of light from the star is passed through a glass prism.
The flame was placed between the poles of a very powerful electro-magnet, and a beam of aether waves (light) produced by us was directed into the spectroscope.

A golden beam shot up to the sky, tinting the crests of the waves.

The construction of a tubular beam of such gigantic dimensions, on a platform elevated and supported by chains at such a height, did at first present itself as a difficulty of a very formidable nature.
Indeed, it became evident that a tubular wrought-iron beam was the only structure which combined the necessary strength and stability for a railway, with the conditions deemed essential for the protection of the navigation.
Sir Basil, while his beam seemed to include the room and its inmates, included them unseeingly; he had eyes, it was evident, only for her.
He no longer--so herbeam pierced further and further--looked at her on a level, with the frankness of mere mutual need and trust.
The retention of the heavy walking beam for so long a time after the steam engine of Watt had been applied to the various purposes of machinery, illustrates the power of a pre-conceived idea.
With the Newcomen engine this beamwas an essential, since it was necessary to have a weight to assist in raising the piston.
The upper figure shows the application of power through a walking beam similar in principle to that of the original Newcomen and Watt engines.
But aside from such exceptional uses, the beam has practically passed out of existence.
The utility of the beam has, indeed, still commended it for certain purposes, notably for the propulsion of side-wheel steamers, such as the familiar American ferryboat.
The piston rod connected with a beam suspended in the middle, which operated the pump, and which was weighted at one end in order to facilitate the raising of the piston.
It will be noted that the walking beam is precisely of the Newcomen type.
The beamcame thundering down--it struck him, and he fell.
The lad was by this time in bed, and a second bleeding relieved him; but it was now discovered that the beam had struck his side as well as his head, and there appeared some reason to fear inflammation, from the feverish state of his pulse.
