Frictional

Examples

• While the frictional appliance is still employed in medicine, it ranks with the flint axe and the tinder-box in industrial obsolescence. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• It presents, therefore, much less difficulty in the insulation of the wires than frictional electricity, whilst the rapidity of its transmission is for practical purposes equally efficient. Frederick C. Bakewell. Great Facts.
• Artificial reservoirs are usually constructed on the near outskirts of a town in order that the frictional force lost in transmission may be reduced to a minimum. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Thus, the transmission of Morse dots and dashes by the distant operator resulted in movements of corresponding length by the frictional pad and vibrating arm. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• Both the recording stylus and reproducing ball are made of sapphire, chosen on account of its hardness, to resist the great frictional wear to which they are subjected. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• The useful results obtainable previously from the current of a frictional machine were not much greater than those to be derived from the flight of a rocket. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• The other surface consisted of a small pad which rested with frictional pressure on the periphery of the drum. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• The frictional movements of the pad with the drum were comparatively long or short, and corresponded with the length of the impulses sent in over the line. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• Ampere would be the quantity, or volume unit, or cross section of the hose pipe, and the ohm would be the unit of frictional resistance. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
