Circuits

Examples

• Trolley circuits are usually 500 volts, and will kill an animal, but are not necessarily fatal to man. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• The latter, in each case, has in its circuit a resistance, R, to compensate for the resistance of the main line, so that there shall be no inequalities in the circuits. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• The result of moisture in the interior of a magnet is to weaken the effectiveness of the installation, leading eventually to short circuits and burn-outs. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• The underlying phenomena were similar, the difference consisting largely in the arrangement of the circuits and apparatus. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• A maximum reading can then be made by manipulating the flexible connections, and this will show whether the two circuits are in accord. Rupert S. Holland. Historic Inventions.
• The accompanying diagram and explanation may serve to remove the difficulty of understanding why the two circuits are maintained quite distinct. Frederick C. Bakewell. Great Facts.
• To-day there are in the United States more than 41,000,000 of these lamps, connected to existing central-station circuits in active operation. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• The city has six interior circuits of walls, and an outer wall which is the seventh. Plato. The Republic.
• Low tension circuits, such as are used for incandescent lights, range from 100 to 240 volts and are harmless. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• A telegraph that could be worked with five circuits came within the range of practicability, and it was put into operation on the Great Western Railway as far as Slough, a distance of 18 miles. Frederick C. Bakewell. Great Facts.
• Most of the time he was monkeying with the batteries and circuits, and devising things to make the work of telegraphy less irksome. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• Arc lamps were operated from its circuits, and one of the first sets of practicable storage batteries was used experimentally at the station. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• Here a patent having once been sustained, say, in Boston, may have to be litigated all over again in New York, and again in Philadelphia, and so on for all the Federal circuits. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• Next he adjusts his receiving circuits for a number of wave lengths. Rupert S. Holland. Historic Inventions.
• There are several ways of determining when the two circuits are in tune. Rupert S. Holland. Historic Inventions.
• The figures marked L represent eight lamps of 110 volts each, in multiple series of two, in four derived circuits. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• The circuits were opened and closed by means of about half a dozen roughly made plug-switches. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• By 1847 circuits had been strung between Washington and New York, under private enterprise, the Government having declined to buy the Morse system for $100,000. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• His idea, of course, was to put this wire across the ends of the supplying circuits, and short-circuit the whole thing--put it all out of business without being detected. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• Hence, after supplying an all-night customer whose lamps were on one side of the circuits, the company might be found to owe him some thing substantial in the morning. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• We had the lamps exhibited in a large room, and so arranged on a table as to illustrate the regular layout of circuits for houses and streets. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• In this way three practical talking circuits can be obtained from four wires. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• For simplicity of illustration a limited number of circuits, shown in Fig. 2, has been employed. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• He also relieved the monotony of office-work by fitting up the battery circuits to play jokes on his fellow-operators, and to deal with the vermin that infested the premises. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• To secure uniformity in the several Federal circuits and correct errors, it has been proposed to establish a central court of patent appeals in Washington. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• No loss of active material, hence no sediment short-circuits. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• For some years it was not found feasible to operate motors on alternating-current circuits, and that reason was often urged against it seriously. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• It will be understood that the circuits represented in Fig. 1 are theoretically supposed to extend over a large area. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• Copper for the circuits was more highly refined than ever before to secure the best conductivity, and purity was insisted on in every kind of insulation. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• By drawing this strip beneath a contact lever, the latter was actuated so as to control the circuits and send the desired signals over the line. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
