• 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.

• Cutting disks are harnessed to steam motors and are adapted to break up at one operation a wide strip of ground. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• Among the century's improvements in this line is the use of disks in place of the old shovel blades to penetrate the earth and revolve in contact therewith. 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.
