Benedictine monastery was founded here by Falph Boteler of Oversley, and received the name of the Church of Our Lady of the Isle, owing to its insulation by a moat meeting the river Arrow.
The last adjustment had been as unsuccessful as the rest, and Tom and Dorothy sat in deep thought, while Jones was scraping the insulation from some wire at one side.
The two spots were almost exactly opposite the lower end of the shuttered window where I had seen a slight chink of light, the only place where the insulation of wood was broken.
Most houses can be made more comfortable at small cost by applying insulation or by correcting defects in construction.
Modifications of the construction above mentioned include the use of sound-proofed steel panels or insulation board for partitions and walls with an exterior of painted steel.
Many other modifications are being developed to insure individuality, stability, insulation and economy in first cost and maintenance.
One useful application of fused quartz is to the insulation of galvanometer coils (Fig.
There is some danger of kerosene containing minute traces of sulphuric acid, and it and other oils may be conveniently tested for insulation in the following manner.
The insulation of the heavy copper connectors is by means of ebonite.
A light touch with a clean Bunsen flame is the readiest method, and does not appear to reduce the insulation so much as might be expected.
So far as insulation is concerned, Mr. Peirce's experiments show that it is far below most kinds of wood.
The method adopted by St. Lindeck (at all events up to 1892) is to treat the coil with thick alcoholic shellac varnish till the insulation is thoroughly saturated, and then to bake the coil as described.
Taking everything into account, it will probably be well to construct standards either with oil insulation only, or to bake the coils in shellac before testing, instead of soaking in paraffin.
So we return again and again to that insulation from things heavenly in which we lived before we had been made Aware.
I think the insulation has been burning off some of the wires of the motor," was his answer.
One of the wires has some of the insulation off--that's what caused the trouble," Dick explained.
First thing we know, some of the insulation will be burned off, and we'll have a short circuit!
To provide for good insulation a dead air space is necessary.
It requires that there be perfect insulation against outside temperature changes, adequate ventilation, and careful watching of temperatures.
Two of the dead air spaces will make insulation doubly sure.
Only partial insulation is attempted, and even this is not always carried to the degree intended or stipulated.
Unfortunately, however, proper insulation is not always accomplished, and frequently wires and other transmitters are removed from their proper positions by accidents and otherwise.
Insulation of Wires and Other Electrical Transmitters.
We cannot mention here the various methods employed to insulate wires, as the general principles of insulation are well known.
The insulation and complacency of its pale skin, the passive righteousness about its curve, the prim separation from the others of the fat little finger, had acquired a wholly unaccountable importance.
Asleep or awake, reading or snoring, fat or thin, hairy or bald, the insulation of their red or pale faces was complete.
They are aninsulation apparatus when in a state of contraction, a switching and insulating apparatus when in a state of rest.
Then, the galvanometer constant multiplied by the number of cells and the product divided by the deflection will give the insulation resistance of the cable; or 0.
Care and skill are required not to destroy the mica insulation between the segments.
After the commutator has been turned and polished, the insulation between the segments should be lightly scraped with the tang of a small file to remove any particles of metal or burrs which might short circuit the commutator.
It is very sensitive and is used in many electrical measurements, including commercial testing, such as measuring insulation of cables, fault location, etc.
If the insulation on adjacent conductors has been abraded, how should it be repaired?
They are caused either by metallic dust or particles lodging in the insulation between the segments, or by the deterioration of the commutator insulation.
If a record be kept of these tests, any deterioration of the insulation can at once be detected, localized and remedied before it has become sufficiently bad to cause a breakdown.
The insulation of the broken wire and the insulation of the good wire with which it is to be compared.
Moisture tends to decrease the insulation resistance, thus in effect producing a short circuit with its attendant heating.
It is a good plan, when the machine has been thoroughly cleaned and all connections made secure, to occasionally test the insulation of the different parts.
The insulation of the winding should be carefully examined, and any metallic filings or other particles discovered therein carefully removed, and a little shellac varnish applied to the faulty part.
While a commercial ice chest provides good insulation of both the samples/specimens and the coolant, it is best to place extra insulation and cushioning around the metal cans inside the chest.
The fauna and flora of the former class agree with those of the neighbouring continents, although some modifications are met with, especially when the insulation has been of long standing.
Eventual insulation of Britain; climate { humid, and probably colder than now.
To this genial stage succeeded an epoch of cold humid conditions, accompanied by geographical changes which resulted in the insulation of Britain and Ireland--the sea encroaching to some extent on what are now our maritime regions.
Multiple strand cables should be used for both primary and secondary wiring, and the insulation should be of rubber at least 3/16 inch thick.
The spark-plugs may be short circuited by cracked insulation or carbon and oil deposits around the electrode.
The secondary wires may be broken or have defective insulation which permits the current to ground to some metal part of the fuselage or motor.
The insulation of the metal parts of lamp fixtures and the reason for the same described and illustrated.
It is precisely in this way that theinsulation of one rail from another is effected (Fig.
The essential feature of the track circuit is the insulation of each section of track from the adjoining sections.
Flexible conductors for smoothing irons and sad irons, and for all devices requiring over 250 watts, must have an approved insulation and covering.
For the wiring of the border proper, wire with approved slow-burning insulation must be used.
Wires used in conduits must have approved rubber insulation and double braid.
Allow no metal dust or gritty substances to accumulate at the insulation of exposed parts.
By special permission, in cases where wiring equal in size and insulation to No.
The joints must then be soldered unless made with some form of approved splicing device, and covered with an insulation equal to that on the conductors.
Flexible conductors for smoothing irons and sadirons and for all devices requiring over 250 watts must have an approved insulation and covering.
Where frameinsulation is impracticable special permission in writing may be given for its omission, in which case the frame must be permanently and effectively grounded.
The insulation of their ancestors upon the island of Crete, prior to their migration in the legendary period to Lycia, may afford an explanation of their retention of descent in the female line to this late period.
The longer the strain to which any insulation is subjected, the shorter the subsequent life of the insulation.
Transformer internal insulation test, sometimes called double normal voltage test, from the fact that most transformers are tested with double normal voltage across their terminals.
Insulation tests for a period of over one minute are very unadvisable, as transformers with excellent insulation may be seriously damaged by prolongedinsulation tests.
In order to equalize the insulation strains, all primary leads should be connected together, all secondary leads not only connected together, but to the core as well.
Franklin substituted granulated lead for the water, thereby improving the insulation by keeping the glass dry.
These results turned out afterwards to be of great value in connection with the insulation of submarine cables.
Again, the deluges of rain which occur in the wet season would render the insulation of a small wire so imperfect that a message could not be sent through it to any distance.
The first application of this singular substance to the insulation of electric conducting wires was made in 1847, by Lieutenant Siemens, of the Prussian artillery, for a line to cross the Rhine at Cologne.
Condensite is anhydrous and infusible, and like its rivals finds its chief employment in the insulation parts of electrical apparatus.
Balata, which is found in the forests of the Guianas, is between gutta percha and rubber, not so good for insulation but useful for shoe soles and machine belts.
Now, if there were no way of limiting the increase in current strength the motors, if greatly overloaded, would continue to operate until the insulation gave out.
The insulation of the wire coils is made principally of cotton, which is a very good electrical insulator in its natural state, but when carbonized by excessive heat it becomes a conductor.
As soon as it becomes a conductor the current is no longer confined to the proper channel, but cuts through the insulation to find the shortest path through the machine.
The flat coils, sometimes called pancake coils are wound of flat, cotton covered, copper strip with ample insulationbetween layers.
It is the insulation placed between adjacent turns of the coils.
On account of the great thickness of the solid insulation needed and the consequent difficulty in radiating heat from the copper, it is impracticable to design the air blast type for more than this voltage.
The coils may be furnished with special insulation and treatment for exceptionally severe service conditions, such as exposure to excessive moisture, extreme heat, acid or alkaline fumes, etc.
It is a good insulator, preserves the insulation from oxidation, increasing the breakdown resistance of the insulation, and generally restores the insulation in case of puncture.
High voltage transformers are insulated with oil, as it is very important to maintain careful insulation not only between the coils, but also between the coils and the core.
Since the difference of pressure is small between the adjacent turns the insulation need not be very thick.
In transformer construction it is obviously very important that the insulation be of the best quality to prevent burn outs and interruptions of service.
The insulation placed between the core and secondary (low pressure) coils, and between the primary and secondary coils.
By the above arrangement, the insulation of each line can be tested at any moment required.
Again, in the case of the insulation of the electric cable being damaged to such an extent as to expose the copper conductor.
One peculiarity of this fuze is that the composition is run over the insulated wires without materially softening the dielectric, or affecting in the slightest degree the insulation of the wires.
Great care is absolutely necessary in making junctions, as they are the principal sources of defect in the insulation of electrical submarine cables.
The fact that a leak existed in the insulation would be proved by changing the earth plate at home from copper to zinc, carbon, tin, &c.
To ascertain the position of a defect in the insulation of a cable, as indicated by the tests above described, it would be only necessary to keep a continuous current flowing through the cable, and gradually take it out of the tank.
As the cable would, in actual work, always be charged with the full power of a firing battery, the value of its insulation to resist an electrical charge at such a high potential would be an important point to determine.
And then there was the smell of burned insulation and a wire was arcing somewhere, while thick rubbery smoke arose.
A pair of oxidized copper wires, their insulation burnt off, stung his eyes as he traced them to where they vanished in torn-up earth.
