The easy use of the slanted pen, and the lateral compression of the letters which naturally followed, resulted in a valuable economy of time and space in the making of books.
The tendency to compression continued, and a further economy of space was effected in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries by the general use of much smaller writing (see fig.
Books in the making--as compared with ordinary inscriptions--are capable of great compression or expansion, and may be said to have a quality of elasticity.
When a quantity of high explosive detonates, a wave of atmospheric compression is sent outward in all directions by the explosion.
This plan of using spokes in tension instead of in compression is credited to Leonardo da Vinci who flourished four centuries ago.
Because 500 pounds is a pressure out of the question for the compression of the mixed charge of air and combustible gas in an ordinary gas cylinder, the Diesel engine excels in economy any gas engine thus far built.
Both tension and compression are exhibited in our little rubber joist, which illustrates the familiar wooden support beneath the floors of our houses.
Wrought iron exerts about as much resistance tocompression as to tension; so does steel.
Its cardinal feature is the compression of each charge.

The very act of compression retards itself: the air, because heated, has additional elasticity for the compressor to overcome.
Plainly, the engineer should begin by sending into his compressor air as cool as possible, and during compression he should keep the temperature of the air as low as he can.
Third, the compression charge is ignited, preferably by an electric spark, when the piston moves outward by virtue of a pressure initially extreme.
At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston, for example, is an Emery testing apparatus for making compression tests of specimens up to eighteen feet in length, for tension specimens up to thirteen feet.
Since the strength of concrete is usually ten-fold greater in compression than in tension, designs should be compressive whenever possible, all tensile strains being carefully committed to the steel.
I suspect that a forcible compression would hinder the gas from separating from the water, and on the contrary any tolerable degree of vacuum would hinder the water from attracting it; but perhaps part of both may be used.
The compression of the tail noticed by Ælian is one of the principal characteristics of these reptiles, as their motion through the water is mainly effected by its aid, coupled with the undulating movement of the rest of the body.
His remark on the compression of the tail shows that his informants were aware of this speciality in those that inhabit the sea.
Be careful not to crank the engine downward against compression when the car is in this condition, as the "short" is apt to cause a vigorous kick back.
The symptoms area lag in the engine due to the exhaust valve not closing instantaneously, and as a result a certain percentage of the charge under compression escapes, greatly diminishing the force of the explosion.
These carbon deposits by preventing proper closing of the valves, permit the gases under compression to escape, resulting in loss of power and uneven running of the motor.
Weakness in the valves may be easily determined by lifting the starting crank slowly the length of the stroke of each cylinder in turn, a strong or weak compression in any particular valve being easily detected.
Should it fail, the fluid can generally be pumped out by alternate compressionof the tube and the bulb.
After removing the test-meal, while the tube is still in place, force quick puffs of air into the stomach by compression of the bulb.
Despite the latter drawback, air transmission is a method growing in favor, especially in view of the advance made in effecting compression by falling water.
Although the work upon which the drill is employed can be known, the power required for compression usually comes from a common power-plant, so that the portion of power debited to the air compressor is an approximation.
The method of air-compression so long accomplished only by power-driven pistons has now an alternative in some situations by the use of falling water.
In this instance, winding and air-compression are well accomplished by direct steam applications; but pumping is beset with wholly undesirable alternatives, among which it is difficult to choose.
