Curse these races,” ejaculated Biscoe, “where have the plungers got to?
The second condition demanded simply that the system be powerful enough to lift the unbalanced weight of the plungers plus the weight of passengers in the upper car.
As the plungers were forced outward, the free ends of the chain moved in the opposite direction, at twice the velocity and linear displacement of the plungers.
To permit the upper car to descend under the first condition, the plungers were made sufficiently heavy, by the addition of cast iron at their lower ends, to overbalance the weight of a capacity load in the lower car.
To the ends of the plungers were fixed smooth-faced sheaves, over which were looped heavy quadruple-link pitch chains, one end of each being solidly attached to the machine base.
This is accomplished by means of two presses, the first of which has 36 hollow cylinders, in which perforated plungers work upwards.
The lower plungers work through sleeves in diaphragms located in the center of the pumps.
The pumps, two or three in number, usually have piston rods working direct from the steam cylinders on the plungers of the pumps.
The two ends of the 428-foot chain are attached to bigplungers in the two walls of the locks.
These plungers fit in large cylinders, which contain broad surfaces of water.
The bellows operator sits squatting on a slight platform the height of the bellows, and constantly works the plungers up and down with rhythmic strokes.
The lower plunger being withdrawn to the bottom of the plate the hexagonal hole is charged with the powder and the two plungers set in motion, thus compressing the powder between them.
Accurately fitting plungers are so applied to these that one can enter at the top and the other at the bottom.
To adjust the vertical height of the bearings or boxes, it is simply necessary to rotate the plungers d e, in the threaded holes in the frame.
United States: a represents the frame of the hanger threaded to receive the cylindrical threaded plungers d e, which therefore by rotation advance or recede respectively from the centre of the bearing boxes b c.
In some cases we may protect the plungers from the pressure of ooze, etc.
By making the plungers in two pieces, with a rubber washer or its equivalent between them, we prevent mud or ooze from getting behind and interfering with their working.
After exhaustion of the charge the plungers are withdrawn and a freshly charged cage of carbide inserted ready for lowering into the generating tank.
The plungers are supported by ropes passing over pulleys D, and when charged they are lowered through the guide-ways F into the water in the tank B.
The mould being brought into this position, it is now necessary to compress the materials, which is done by the descent of the plungers k k.
Thirdly, in a contrivance by which the plungersare made to descend, for the purpose of compressing the material and discharging it from the mould in the form of bricks.
In some mines the prongs are little plungers that are withdrawn into the mine-shell and held by a cement which softens after the mine is submerged and lets the plungers spring out.
When the plungers are broken, water enters and, coming in contact with certain chemicals, produces enough heat to set off a cartridge which fires the mine.
The Plungers had drawn up behind them, and were lolling about.
A pair of plungers are reciprocated at a rate of forty strokes per second by means of an electric or gasoline motor, and they produce a train of pressure waves in a column of water.
The plungers are 6½ inches in diameter and they travel at a speed of over 400 feet per minute.
As in powder blasting, a series of holes are drilled in the face of the rock and the cartridges with the plungers retracted are fitted into the holes.
It will be readily understood that the operation may be reversed, and if power is applied to the water to force it through the pump, it will make the plungers move in and out of the cylinder.
This consists of a cylinder of steel fitted with a series of little plungersarranged in a row in the cylindrical wall of the cartridge.
The water forces the plungers out, exerting enough pressure to burst the rock.
The water ends are composition fitted for salt water and have valve decks and plungers entirely of that material.
This figure shows quite clearly the relative arrangement of the line and trunk contact banks, the plungers for each bank, and the master bar.
Associated with each master bar there is a master switch which determines the position in which the master bar shall stop in order that the idle plungers may be pointed always to the contacts of an idle trunk.
The plungers of all the line switches in a group of twenty-five are, therefore, subject to the oscillating movements of the master bar when the line is not connected to a first selector trunk.
The master bar then at once moves all of the other plungers that are not in use so that they will point to the terminals of another trunk that is not in use.
The to-and-fro movement of this oscillating shaft, called the master bar, is controlled by a master switch and the function of this master switch is always to keep the plungers pointed toward the row of contacts of an idle trunk.
The thrusting movement of the individual plungers into the contact bank is controlled by magnets individual to the line and under control of the subscriber in initiating a call.
It is by this means that theplungers of the line switches are always kept pointing at the contacts of an idle trunk.
The plungers are hollow trunks, and the connecting rods abut in cylindrical recesses in them and are connected to a common crank pin.
On the spindle of these plungers are fixed eight steel scraping blades, with curved scraping edges fitting the surface of the main.
G, G, G are the threeplungers which pass out of the cylinders through cup leathers, and act on the same crank pin.
Constance promised and Stella fluttered away like the pretty butterfly that she was, leaving Constance to wonder at the natural gravitation of plungers in the money market toward plungers in the white lights.
Compound plungers are used on the Curtiss OX-2 motors, one inside the other.
When valve plungers of the adjustable form, such as shown at B, are used, the hardened bolt head in contact with the end of the valve stem may become hollowed out on account of the hammering action at that point.
Gnome "Monosoupape," with Cam-Case Cover Removed to Show Cams and Valve-Operating Plungers with Roller Cam Followers.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "plungers" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
