• This disk form was also covered by Edison's application for a United States patent, filed in 1879. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• Disk cultivators are those in which disk blades instead of ploughs are used with which to disturb the soil already broken. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• She waited while he cut the lemon and dropped a thin disk into her cup. Edith Wharton. The House of Mirth.
• If this disk was removed from the machine and put on a similar machine provided with a contact point, the embossed record would cause the signals to be repeated into another wire. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• If, while the disk is rotating rapidly, a tube is held over the outside row and air is blown through the tube, a sustained musical tone will be heard. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.

• The poles of the electromagnet in the local circuit are hollowed out and filled up with carbon disks or powdered plumbago. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• It was coming from the left and they could see the round disks of light the two propellers made. Hemingway, Ernest. For Whom The Bell Tolls.
• A Swiss machine for this purpose consists of two disks carrying diamonds in their peripheries, which, being put in rapid revolution, cut parallel grooves in the face of the stone. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.

• The current flows to the coil through the thin metal strips called brushes, which rest lightly upon the disks. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Any one who is not deaf and dumb may use this mode of transmission, which would require no apparatus except an electric battery, two vibrating disks, and a wire. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• A still later invention, curved spring teeth, has been found far superior to spikes or disks in throwing up, separating and pulverising the soil. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
