• The disturbance created by a vibrating body is called a wave. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• This agrees with the law of vibrating strings which gives high pitches for short lengths. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.

• Patrick Bell, of Scotland, devised a reaper that had a movable vibrating cutter working like a series of shears, a reel, and a traveling apron, which carried off the grain to one side. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• Nearly all of these early reapers relied upon scythes or cutters with a rotary motion or vibrating shears. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
