Filing

Examples

• Thirty years ago, the cost of labour for turning a surface of cast iron, by chipping and filing with the hand, was 12s. Frederick C. Bakewell. Great Facts.
• Forward they went--tramp, tramp--with mustering, manifold, slow-filing tread. Charlotte Bronte. Shirley.
• In this complete form, these address plates were filed in steel filing drawers like ordinary paper cards. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• The empty filing drawer is placed beneath the addressograph so that after addressing the address plates fall back into the original drawer in their original card index order. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• Of course I ordered an investigation, and found that the patent solicitor had drawn from the company the fees for filing all these applications, but had never filed them. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• If a planchet is too heavy, but near the weight, it is filed off at the edges; if too heavy for filing, it is thrown aside with the light ones to be remelted. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• It was also asserted that the filing of the Gray caveat antedated by a few hours the filing of the Bell application. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• After being brought into true shape by filing, the blade is exposed to a cherry-red heat and instantly quenched in cold water. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• Such an arrangement of wire is known as a helix or solenoid, and is capable of lifting or pulling larger and more numerous filings and even good-sized pieces of iron, such as tacks. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Iron filings scattered over a magnet arrange themselves in definite lines. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• A wire carrying current attracts iron filings. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Take a look at those filings, said he. Rupert S. Holland. Historic Inventions.
• If a wire is passed through a card and a strong current is sent through the wire, iron filings will, when sprinkled upon the card, arrange themselves in definite directions (Fig. 227). Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Although such a straight current bearing wire attracts iron filings, its power of attraction is very small; but its magnetic strength can be increased by coiling as in Figure 211. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• The electric waves cause these filings to cohere, and so vary the resistance to the passage of the current as to give a basis for transformation into a record. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• The coherer _j_ has two metal pole pieces, _j1 j2_, separated by silver and nickel filings. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• The coherence will continue until the filings are mechanically shaken, when they will at once fall apart, as it were, insulation will be established, and the current will be broken. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• A thick cluster of filings will adhere to the wire (Fig. 210), and will continue to cling to it so long as the current flows. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• He demonstrated this by placing the filings between metal plugs in a glass tube, and connecting this in circuit with a battery and electric indicator. Rupert S. Holland. Historic Inventions.
• If the current is broken, the filings fall from the wire, and only so long as the current flows through the wire does the wire have power to attract iron filings. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• An electric current makes a wire equivalent to a magnet, giving it the power to attract iron filings. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Connect some cells as shown in Figure 200 and close the circuit through a stout heavy copper wire, dipping a portion of the wire into fine iron filings. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• The coherer, invented by Branly in 1891, is a glass tube containing metal filings between two circuit terminals. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
