At first, all our attention is taken up by watching how the one tapperdoes his work.
Following a tapperon his round in a plantation is a very easy expedition compared with that journey we took with a seringueiro to see him get his morning's milk.
The object with which the brain-tapper puts his questions may be a purely benevolent and entirely disinterested one.
The bolt of energy, whatever it may have been designed to do to a ship of the Sun-tapper build, did not have the totally disastrous effect on the Magellan that it was intended to have.
Without the aid of telescopic sights they could see the shape of the Sun-tapper vessel plainly, outlined against the curtain of distant stars.
The shape of the Sun-tapper ship came into focus on the tiny screen of the air lock viewer.
He arranged metal filings in a small glass tube six inches long and arranged a tapper to disarrange the filings after they had been brought together under the influence of the spark.
An electrical tapper was also arranged in this circuit so that it would strike the tube a light blow after each long or short wave representing a dot or a dash had been received.
The tapper and the toddy shopkeeper are generally partners, the former renting the trees, paying the tree-tax, and selling the toddy at fixed prices to the latter.
Sometimes the shopkeeper pays both rent and tax, and the tapper is his servant paid by the bottle.
The toddy-tapper should go through the show of reverence by touching the cocoanut tree with the right hand, and then applying his hand to the forehead, every time he prepares to climb a tree.
A tapper can work about fifteen trees, each of which he has to climb three times a day.
It is easy to identify the toddy-tapper by the indurated skin of the palms, fingers, inner side of the forearms, and the instep.
Mark Tapper made admission thet he hes a weak case, an' he said thet ef I went with him peaceable he wouldn't press hit no further then what he war compelled ter.
Finally Tapper reached a lame conclusion, but he had not yet dared to suggest the thing he had come to broach, the arrangement whereby the two of them were to divide territory, and swap betrayals of confidence.
It was equally so forTapper to raid Towers' favorites.
Tapper knew this country reasonably well, but at the end of an hour he confessed himself lost.
I heered Mark Tapper 'low thet he hedn't no charge ter mek ergin ye jest now.
At the appointed time and in strict compliance with the designated conditions Mark Tapperstood at the indicated point.
Yet before the first day of "Big Meeting time" had progressed to noon, Mark Tapper sat in close and secret conference with the strongest and most typical exponent of the old order of the hills.
Such a "wretch" was Mark Tapper in the local forum of public thought; a wretch with an avocation dependent upon stealth and treachery of broken confidences; profiting like Judas Iscariot upon blood-money.
Mark Tapper followed the guide whose up-turned collar and down-drawn hat would have shielded his features even had the darker cloak of the night not done so.
Go on in thar," it directed, and with something more like trepidation than he cared to admit, Tapper groped forward, felt for the doorstep with his toe and rapped.
Outside Tapper saw a lantern moving, but revealing no face.
Instead of the simple mechanical tapper, an electromagnetic tapper may be used.
The tapper has to be so arranged that it is possible to receive and to record not only the dot but a dash on the Morse system.
The relay then closes the second circuit, the recording instrument records a dot or a dash, and the tapper strikes the coherer and breaks the filings apart ready for another stream of electric waves.
Suddenly there sounded the sharp click of the tapper as it struck the coherer.
The wire-tapper had hardly left us when a little boy of thirteen or fourteen ran up to him with a note; then he disappeared through the swinging doors.
Presently the wire-tapper came out and, without a word, counted thirty dollar bills into the other’s hand.
Round a quiet corner my companion stated his business, and the wire-tapper brought out his roll of bills and fingered them feverishly.
I do hope Mrs. Tapper will look after him," said the matron.
It is seen that the polarized bell or ringer has its working parts mounted on the inside of the door or cover of the box, the tapper projecting through so as to play between the gongs on the outside.
This is really nothing but a common alternating-current polarized ringer with a light spring so arranged as to hold the armature normally in one of its extreme positions so that the tapper will rest against one of the gongs.
The ringers are roughly tuned to the desired frequencies by merely placing on the tapper rod the desired weight and then a more refined tuning is given them by slightly altering the positions of the weights on the tapper rod.
It is obvious that if a current flows in the coils of such a ringer in a direction tending to move the tappertoward the left, then no sound will result because the tapper is already moved as far as it can be in that direction.
A series of such pulsations in the proper direction will, therefore, cause the tapper to play between the two gongs and ring the bell as usual.
The physical difference between the ringers of the various frequencies consists mainly in the size of the weights at the end of the vibrating reed, that is, of the weights which form the tapper for the bell.
This will throw the tapper rod to the right and sound the right-hand bell.
In order that this device may perform the double function of ringer and relay the tapper rod of the bell is hinged on the armature so as to partake of the movements of the armature in one direction only.
In this the ordinary polarized ringer is used, but in addition the tapper rod carries a latch which, when vibrated by the ringing of the bell, releases a shutter and causes it to fall, thus giving a visual as well as an audible signal.
The vibration of the tapper is caused by the magnetized cores of the coils M.
This magnetism attracts the iron armature attached to the spring A, and it is suddenly pulled forward with energy sufficient to cause the tapper to strike the gong.
It is an application of the electromagnet, in which the magnetism is applied to vibrate a tapper against the rim of a bell.
By pressing the push button the circuit is closed and the electric current from the battery flows through the magnet and causes the tapper to vibrate.
With the bell and tapper removed the operating mechanism of such a device works with a sound that has given to them the name of buzzers.
A concerted ahhhh swept through the crowd as the Space Wave Tapper shivered a bit, then rose slowly into the air.
For the complete set of the Atomic Wonder, the Space Tapper control box, battery and instruction book .
He almost had them believing in the Space Wave Tapper before he was through.
When the tapper has made the proper gash in the bark he inserts a little spout to carry the dripping latex to a glass cup beneath.
At each succeeding day's tapping the tapper widens the cut by stripping off a sliver of bark one-twentieth of an inch in width.
Then quite suddenly Mr. Kemp heard the sharp click of the tapper as it struck against the coherer; this, of course, was not the signal, yet it was an indication that something was coming.
Thus Mr. Kemp knew when he heard the tapper strike the coherer that a signal was coming, though he could not hear the click of the receiver itself.
The tapper keeps striking the coherer and shakes the particles loose after every cohesion.
The tapper circuit is indicated by the dotted lines.
A gives two beats on the tapper = "Train entering section.
Therefore the Morse instrument reproduces in dots and dashes the short and long depressions of the key at the transmitting station, while the tapper works rapidly in time with the relay.
The relay is closed, and bothtapper and Morse inker begin to work.
Their services merely mean a saving in time which is spent in the squatter's garden, and perhaps the permission to the tapper to work a larger number of trees than would be allotted ordinarily to a task.
It is fully recognised, both by advocates and opponents of payment by result, that the personal equation of the tapper is a very important factor.
Failure on the part of the tapper to ensure the flow of latex, by means of the spout, into the cup.
A good skilled tapper will always obtain a higher yield than an ordinary individual from the same task of trees, and without any more injury to the trees.
Furthermore, on hilly areas under tapping, it is often manifestly unfair to expect the tapper to be able to carry two buckets during collection, when the slope is such, as to make the manipulation of even one bucket a matter of difficulty.
Apart from this, it is claimed that even the average tapper does not do his best work if he knows that he will get his daily wage, no matter what his yield may be, as long as he does not injure the trees by wounding.
The tapper carried two buckets, one for receiving the latex and the other containing water.
And just at present you're the accomplice of a gang headed by a certain Coke Whelan, a wire-tapper well known to the police.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "tapper" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
