Сторінка 245 - The object of a tube or conduit is to facilitate the insertion or extraction of the conductors, to protect them from mechanical injury, and, as far as possible, from moisture. Tubes or conduits are to be considered merely as raceways, and are not to be relied on for insulation between wire and wire or between the wire and the ground.
Сторінка 12 - ... has now conferred upon me the duties of water commissioner — duties contributing partly to the convenience, partly to the health, even to the safety of the city, and from olden time exercised by the most distinguished citizens; I therefore consider it to be the first and most important thing to be done — as has always been one of my fundamental principles in other affairs — to learn thoroughly what it is that I have undertaken.
Сторінка 245 - Must be kept free from contact with gas, water or other metallic piping, or any other conductors or conducting material which they may cross, by some continuous and firmly fixed non-conductor, creating a separation of at least one inch.

Сторінка 307 - ... of distinguished eminence in science, literature or the arts or for public services should be secured, a limited number of persons of such qualifications shall be elected by the Committee.
Сторінка 440 - Experiments have been made upon alloys of lead with tin, bismuth and zinc, and of zinc with tin and mercury. The method employed consisted in dissolving (i) the alloy, and (2) the corresponding mixture of metals in mercury, and measuring the heat of solution in each case. On the assumption that the solutions obtained are identical, the difference between the heat of solution of the mixture and that of the...
Сторінка 411 - ... without leaving more than a trace of the material behind in the finished casting to act as a weakener. The effects of this coarse crystallization upon the durability of the bearing are twofold. In the first place, increased local heating results in the same manner as in the case of segregated bearings, owing to the varying degrees of hardness and heating capacity of the constituents, and secondly, the ductility of the metal and the tensile strength are materially decreased. As the rapidity of...
Сторінка 245 - Must not be fished for any great distance, and only in places where the inspector can satisfy himself that the rules have been complied with. d. Twin wires must never be used, except in conduits, or where flexible conductors are necessary.
Сторінка 251 - Two regulating switches are connected in multiple on the positive and two on the negative sides to permit of discharge at two potentials, or to enable the battery to be charged and discharged simultaneously. The conductors between each series of cells, and between the regulating cells and the regulating switches, consist of copper bars 3 inches wide by £ inch thick. These bars are supported on porcelain insulators resting in hangers. The connections of this equipment are shown in Fig.
Сторінка 430 - The disadvantage of a manufacturer as compared with a consultant, is that the former sees so very much of his own productions. The function of a consultant is not to aim at brilliancy, but to see that the contractor gives what he has undertaken to give. WB Esson remarked that there is neither on the Continent nor in England any great agreement as to standards between the manufactures of different firms, though there is greater agreement in particular firms. The fact is, no one firm in this country...
