But--I put it to you-- in asking me to nurse him you overshoot my Christian virtue.
Pull aside one end, and its elasticity tends to make it recoil; let it go, and its inertia causes it to overshoot its normal position; both causes together cause it to swing to and fro till its energy is exhausted.
Elasticity in some form, or some equivalent of it, in order to be able to store up energy and effect recoil; inertia, in order to enable the disturbed substance to overshoot the mark and oscillate beyond its place of equilibrium to and fro.
Pull it to one side, and its elasticity tends to make it recoil; let it go, and its inertia causes it to overshoot its normal position.
The old-style overshoot wheel was inefficient principally because the buckets began emptying themselves at the end of a quarter-revolution.
The modern steel overshoot wheel receives water in its buckets from a spout set a few degrees back of dead center; and its buckets are so shaped that the water is retained a full half-revolution of the wheel.
