Tom, who spoke Spanish fairly well, explained to a small group of San Rosario military technicians how the quake deflector worked.
The young inventor sketched out the sort of shock-wave deflector which he had in mind.
It could have been the spot where the enemy shock waves and our deflector waves met and damped out," Tom commented.
I'd say your shock-wave deflector must have been at least ninety per cent effective!
The deflector is an instrument designed to enable an observer to reduce the deviations of the compass to an amount not exceeding 2 deg.
With thedeflector any inequality in the directive force can be detected, and hence the power of equalizing the forces by the usual soft iron and magnet correctors.
The use of thedeflector is generally confined to experts.
Several kinds of deflector have been invented, that of Lord Kelvin (Sir William Thomson) being the simplest, but Dr Waghorn's is also very effective.
The distance from the flue to the deflectoris 21 inches; from the deflector to the fire-hole, 2 inches.
The distance from the flue to the deflector is 2 feet 6 inches; from the deflector to the fire-hole, 13 inches.
The distance from the deflector to the kiva wall is 2 feet 6 inches, and from the deflector to the fire-hole 14 inches.
Illustration: PLATE 24 FOOD BOWLS] The deflector is a stone slab 3 feet wide and 2 feet high.
The floor west of the deflector has a slightly convex surface.
The deflector is 1 foot 6 inches from the flue and 15 inches from the fire-hole.
The distance from the flue to the deflector is 2 feet; from the deflector to the fire-hole 11 inches.
The deflector is a curved stone wall joining the kiva wall on each side of the flue.
The deflector of this kiva is exceptional, being the only known instance where this structure is constructed of upright stakes bound with twigs or cedar bark and plastered with adobe.
Both the plastered floor and the deflector are lacking, and there is no fire-hole nor sipapu.
From the deflectorto the fire-hole the distance is 7 inches.
The distance from the flue opening to the deflector is 2 feet 6 inches, and from the deflector to the round fire-hole 8 inches.
Air is also admitted between the deflector and the glass chimney.
By means of a deflectoron the inner side of the flame, the latter is made to curve outwards and assume a somewhat convex form, so as to obviate the shadow which otherwise would be cast by the gas chamber at the bottom of the burner.
The deflector I is next placed in position on the inner mold and the concrete is forced down with an iron rammer between the two molds, so as to fill completely the annular space.
Setting on the inner mold is an inverted V-shaped deflector I; its edges are flush with the sides of the mold and its purpose is to facilitate the placing of the concrete.
The deflector aids in directing the concrete into this space, as will be obvious.
Hoping to ward off suspicion, he pretended to work at a Cosmic Deflector which, telescope-shaped and two feet in thickness, reached from floor to ceiling.
Remember how I agreed to use the Deflector to pull the earth a few thousand miles off its course--only a few thousand, for experimental purposes!
Her answering smile told him that, so far as they were concerned, the Deflector had been a success.
Frankly, there isn't any known principle by which we can get the Deflectorworking again.
Fortunately, a huge Deflector had already been set up in the laboratory, for experimental purposes.
I clipped him across his aft quarter, and caught a glimpse of the underside of the car as it stood on its nose, slammed through the deflector and over the side.
I had a fast impression of squealing metal and rubber, and then I was skidding to a stop up against the deflector rails with the T-Bird slanted across my prow.
III Old number 16 was canted against the deflector rail, one side shredded into curled strips of crumpled metal.
I twisted to look up at the silhouettes against the deflector rail.
I moved over to the side of the parking slab, clambered over the deflector rail and studied the shadows under the third level roadway.
Drawings and a model of the device were prepared, with a view of patenting it, but subsequently the intention was abandoned, Mr. Baird concluding that a fire-brick arch as a deflector to accomplish the same object was preferable.
An experiment was conducted under his direction, by placing a sheet-iron deflector in the fire-box of an engine on the Germantown and Norristown Railroad.
On some ships it is the custom to check the deviation by the deflector magnet method.
The usual form of deflector plate is provided at the top of the piston and one may consider it as two pistons in one.
The deflector plate on the top of the piston directs the entering fresh gas to the top of the cylinder and prevents the main portion of the gas stream from flowing out through the open exhaust port.
The deflector plate on the top of the cylinder is cast integral and is utilized to prevent the incoming fresh gases from flowing directly over the piston top and out of the exhaust port, which is usually opposite the inlet opening.
To test this new development of the famous sounddeflector and perfect its details, scores of experiments were needed, most of which he and she carried out together.
One of the kivas has, in place of a deflectorand ventilator shaft, a small rectangular walled enclosure surrounded by a wall, recalling structures on the floor of the kivas of Sun Temple.
Two or three feet from the fire pit, and in a straight line with the ventilator shaft, the deep recess, the deflector and the fire pit is a small hole in the floor of the kiva.
A chimney holder having a projection for manipulating the same, chimney fastenings, a deflector and a joint substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
The combination with the lever for raising the chimney of the deflector air screen and foraminous piece of metal, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
The deflector board or flat shaped or nearly so when made not only as a deflector but partly as a chimney holder substantially as described.
A lever with chimney fastenings having that part of it on which the chimney rests extended so as to form a deflector substantially as described.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "deflector" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
