Examples
- The carbon being only slightly compressed will offer considerable resistance to the flow of current from the local battery, and therefore the signal on the local sounder will be weak. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
- When current is made, the relay attracts an armature, which thereby closes a circuit in a local battery and thus causes a click of the sounder. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
- There is frequent recognition in classical literature of a sounder cosmogony. H. G. Wells. The Outline of History_Being a Plain History of Life and Mankind.
- Under these conditions the current of the main line is not sent through the sounder, but through the relay which opens and closes a local battery in connection with the strong sounder. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
- To test this we disconnected the wire between the frog and battery, and placed, instead of a vibrating sounder, a simple Morse key and a sounder taking the 'etheric' from armature. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
- It was sounder than pretending. Hemingway, Ernest. For Whom The Bell Tolls.
- Gerald felt that his own understanding was much sounder and safer. D. H. Lawrence. Women in Love .
- He has put Sir Leicester's sounder arm over his shoulder in lifting him up, and Sir Leicester is slow in drawing it away again as he says these words. Charles Dickens. Bleak House.
- Sleep where you slept last; the sounder and longer you can sleep, the better you'll know arterwards what you're up to. Charles Dickens. Our Mutual Friend.
- I told him the circumstances, and suggested that he had better cipher such communications, or put on a secret sounder. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
- The train, and also each signalling station, was equipped with regulation telegraph apparatus, such as battery, key, relay, and sounder, together with induction-coil and condenser. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
- This sounder soon drove out the old Morse recorder. Rupert S. Holland. Historic Inventions.
- Edison thought that the longitudinal vibrations caused by the sounder produced a more marked effect, and proceeded to try out his theory. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
- In practically all telegraph offices of the present day the old-fashioned tape is replaced by the sounder, shown in Figure 219. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
- It is clear that the working of the key which starts and stops the current in this line will be imitated by the motion and the resulting clicks of the sounder. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
- What happened is described by Adams as follows: We gathered up a couple of sounders, a battery, and sonic wire, and at the appointed time called on her to do the stunt. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
- I obviated this by using several relays, each with a different adjustment, working several sounders all connected with one sounding-plate. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
