Page 81 - That on long lines of railway, the requisites of a large traffic cannot be attained by so inflexible a system as the atmospheric, in which the efficient operation of the whole depends so completely upon the perfect performance of each individual section of the machinery.
Page 156 - Parliament is a sperm candle of six to the pound, burning at the rate of 120 grains per hour.
Page 112 - It is so designed that, if desirable at some future time, by throwing out jetties, convenient wharfage room can be obtained at a small cost. The head at the end of the breakwater is a massive structure 150 feet long, and 50 feet wide.
Page 336 - Bridge method, it will be clear at once, is that any kind of receiving instrument which has been used for single working may also be employed for Duplex Telegraphy. This fact must always be of great consideration for any administration that contemplates the general introduction of Duplex Telegraphy. General expressions for the two functions " D" and " S." To obtain the functions D and S, we have first to develope the general expressions for the forces p, P, and Q, say for station I. By p...
Page 23 - ... apartments, since the carbonic acid is added to the normal air in the former case, while in the latter it is evolved at the expense of a portion of the oxygen of the room. Dr. Angus Smith says upon this point that he had always considered carbonic acid as remarkably innocent, in small quantities, and was accustomed to look on the organic substances as the real evils ; but his experiments in a tightly closed leaden chamber so far changed his mind that he was inclined to believe that carbonic acid...
Page 334 - ... produced in the same way, ie, by the signalling current arriving through the line from the distant station, the signals in Duplex Telegraphy may be produced in either of two ways, essentially different from each other. Namely, if the times of sending from the two stations fall together, ie, no current, or double current, or any difference of currents, is in the line, the signals, so long as this state of the line exists, are produced wholly or partly by the battery of the receiving station. Signals...
Page 29 - ... the best means of applying that power. The friction of air varies as the square of the velocity multiplied by the pressure against the sides of the passage. This pressure being uniform, its total amount depends upon the total surface, that is, the length multiplied by the perimeter of the cross section. The force required to propel air through any passage is therefore equal to the square of the velocity into the total surface multiplied by the co-efficient of friction. It is more convenient to...
Page 113 - Rendel was Engineer-in-Chief from the commencement of the work until his death at the end of 1856, when Mr., now Sir John, Hawkshaw was appointed Engineer-in-Chief, who subsequently carried out the works, and brought them to a successful completion in 1873, and on the 19th of August of that year the Prince of Wales visited the works, and formally declared the harbour completed. The late Mr. George C. Dobson was the Resident Engineer.
Page 170 - ... most suitable for obtaining from the gas the greatest amount of light, and be practicable for use by the consumer.
Page 227 - ... proper application of the Trutsen strap and movable weights frequently used. Upon the whole, this experiment was conducted with such care and skill, and such jealousy of being deceived, that the result as to power, dec., may be considered as fully established. It remains for some skilled and ambitious mechanist in a future age to repeat it under more favourable circumstances and with complete success.
