I told him about the row between Pawl and Giddings, and he laughed till the fat on his cheeks wabbled like a dish of jelly.
Giddings walked off, leavingPawl dancing up and down and making noises that didn't have any sense to them.
Mr. Pawl just glared at him and banged the counter again.
Pawl backed off like the place he was standing was too hot for his feet.
Mr. Pawl was behind the counter, walking up and down like a wolf in a circus cage, and every little while he would up with his fist and bang it down with all his might.
On the spindle carrying the large and small pinions and the friction discs is placed a toothed wheel, connected with the spindle by a pawl and ratchet.
The pawl and ratchet are provided to allow of the rapid distancing of the carbon holders when it becomes necessary to introduce fresh carbons.
The capstan is prevented from turning back by a pawl attached to its lower part, working in a circular ratchet on the base.
When the arm B is lifted, the pawl C is raised from between the teeth of the wheel, and travelling backward over the circumference again drops between two teeth on lowering the arm, and draws with it the wheel.
The capstan is prevented from turning back by a pawl attached to its lower part and working in a circular ratchet on the base.
A reciprocating circular motion of the top arm makes its attached pawl produce an intermittent circular motion of the crown-ratchet, or ray-wheel.
L, which hold the spaceband chute; drive out pin J and take off the pawllever I (Fig.
At the lower end of the guide is a half pin or ear on each side, which is to catch the second spaceband if pawl lever lifts two.
The screw 1 in pawl lever should be adjusted so that when pawl lever is down the pawls N and O will be low enough to clear the top rails C and J (Fig.
As the pawl levers and pawls drop by their own weight entirely, it is necessary their movement should be perfectly free.
G rests will be raised high enough to raise the upper end of rod G at point 8 enough to allow verge pawl L to release the matrix M, which in Fig.
If too low it will give a double motion to the pawl lever I (Fig.
By the time that the longboat was as deep as she would swim it was close upon high-water, and the men were then sent to the windlass with orders to endeavour to get another pawl or two.
I think, therefore, that if I were you I would send all hands to the windlass, and let them endeavour to get another pawlor two.
They got their first pawl easily enough, then another, and another, by which time the hawser was once more as taut as a bar.
The men again threw their weight alternately upon the levers, and once more the great pawl clanked once, twice, thrice; then a long pause and another clank, then a further pause.
The exception is the deep notch, or selective notch, which is of such depth as to permit the pawl 6 to fall so far into the segment as to allow the rocker arm 2 to close both the talking and the ringing circuits.
Besides the moving pawl 6 there is a detent pawl 7.
The actuating magnet 1, as has been stated, is polarized and when energized by currents in one direction, the rocker arm moves the pawl 6 so as to step the segment one notch.
This always holds the segment 3 in the position to which it has been last moved by the moving pawl 6.
This deep notch is called the selective notch, and it is the one that allows of contact being made with the ringer circuit of that station when the pawl 6 drops into it.
This motion of the rocker arm withdraws the detent pawl from engagement with the segment as well as the moving pawl, and thereby permits the segment to return to its normal position.
The brakesman is supplied with a convenient seat and footboard, and on the floor-level of the latter there is a pawl and ratchet attached to the vertical rod, which permits the brakes to be applied to the extent required.
The brakesman has merely to put it on, the pawl and ratchet keep it on, and the bow springs take it off when no longer required.
It will be seen that the sliding bolt permits of the upward, but prevents the downward, movement of the notched bar when the pawl is disengaged and slides downward.
A sliding bolt then holds the notched bar in its raised position, when the handle can be raised to enable the pawl to engage with the next lower teeth of the bar.
Meshing with the notches of this bar are the teeth of a pawl, which is so connected, by levers, with the operating handle that the downward movement of the latter will raise the pawl and notched bar and the chain attached to its lower end.
This trigger will therefore release the left pawl D, which will engage with the ratchet wheel and will consequently turn it clockwise until the rocker arm reaches its right hand limit.
The pawl is thus raised just before it reaches the limit of its clockwise travel sufficient to be locked by its trigger.
How is this automatic locking of the pawl obtained?
By having a lip G on the under side of the pawl strike a finger H fastened to the bearings in front of the ratchet wheel.
When the mandrel is put in between the centers a small pawl is fastened with a screw to the frame with its upper end engaging in a tooth of the clock wheel.
The pawl is released and the mandrel turned to the proper number of teeth and the operation repeated.
When the cutter A, which is in a mandrel placed in the centers of the lathe, has finished a cut for a tooth, the pawl is disengaged and the mandrel turned to another tooth in the clock wheel.
Use for an Old Clock [367] Remove the hair spring of the clock, and fasten a spring to one end of the pawl and a small wire to the other end.
From the pin N² is suspended a weight N³ to return the pawl carriers to their lowermost positions when they complete their upward travel.
A sound made in the mouthpiece creates vibrations in the diaphragm; the vibrations of the diaphragm move the spring and pawl with the same impulses, and as the pawl thus moves back and forth on the ratchet-wheel it is made to revolve.
This spring carries a pawlthat acts on a ratchet or roughened wheel on the fly-wheel shaft.
The direction of motion of the wheel is determined by the side on which the pawl works.
An intermittent circular motion in the direction indicated by the arrow is transmitted to the wheel A, by means of the oscillating rod D and the pawl B, from the reciprocating rectilinear motion of the rod C.
This relay has a resistance of 4,500 ohms and a high impedance, and operates the selector mechanism which is a special modification of the ratchet and pawl principle.
But as soon as the shaft is rotated, this fixed dog 10 becomes the real holding pawl so far as the vertical movement is concerned.
The pawl connected to the slow-acting magnet merely serves to prevent the ratchet wheel from turning back.
When the time wheel rolls to the bottom of the track, however, the pawl is allowed to drop to the bottom of the tooth.
The pawl shield is set so that any required number of teeth can be taken up and no change gears are used.
The pawl is on a plate which has a gear at the back.
The bell L of the gasholder is connected by a chain C to the axis of the drum A, on which is a pinion with pawl so arranged that the pull on the chain caused by the fall of the bell of the gasholder rotates the drum by 1/8 of a turn.
An' bimeby he git ax'd ter be er pawl b'arer ter all uv 'em.
By this arrangement the pawl actuates a larger ratchet than it could otherwise, and therefore exerts more force upon the cylinder, by acting upon a longer lever-arm.
A wheel having teeth by which it may be moved forward as by a lever and catch, or by a pawl arranged to engage the teeth.
The pawl may also be arranged to engage the teeth for the purpose of preventing backward motion.
The construction and operation of the self-feeding device is as follows: The feed screw F is provided with a feather way or spline and with a feed collar C, operated by the pawl E.
The index plates used for cutting wheels and pinions may be placed on the rear end of A, the pawl being secured to the work-bench.
The feed-collar C has at D a groove, into which a flange on pawl E fits, and on its side face there is a groove receiving an annular ring on the face of lever L, these two keeping it in place.
The socket is provided with a ratchet or toothed wheel in which a catch or pawl engages.
When the rod A makes its downward stroke the pawl G will slip over the teeth of H, because there is nothing but the spiral spring to prevent the end of the pawl from slipping over these teeth.
The feed takes place, be it noted, at the beginning of the lever stroke, and ceases so soon as pawl B operates A and the drill begins to cut.
Here there are two gears A and D, and the pawl or catch C may be moved on its pivoted end so as to engage either with A or D to feed in the required direction.
In the position shown in the figure the end of T is seated in the groove in V, and the pressure of the spring acts to hold T still and keep the pawl G from engaging with the teeth of gear-wheel H.
A hand-drilling device, in which a lever carries a pawl that engages with a ratchet-wheel, which drives the drill.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "pawl" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: button; fastener; girth; lacing
