A carburetor, such as is used on a gasoline engine, is
an appliance for vaporizing liquid hydrocarbons by atomizing
the liquid and mixing it with air.
This mixture of gasoline vapor and air is drawn into
the cylinder of'a gasoline engine, compressed and exploded
by means of an electric spark;...
The induction motor in its electromagnetic features
is essentially a transformer, while in its general behavior
it is analogous to the continuous-current shunt wound
motor. In a transformer the primary and secondary members
are both stationary and electrical energy is transformed
from one pressure to another by the ratio of...
All living things require food but none make use of

Samples of insulating materials used in the construction
of electrical machinery and apparatus are
tested for dielectric strength before such are accepted
for use. This is done by applying to the sample a
high voltage until it is pierced through by the electric
spark. This is a parallel case to...

This course of study has been planned for the

The designing of electrical machinery is fully

efficiencies, etc. and thus...
The art of bread making has been handed down from one generation to another for

The marked movement of utilizing Oregon's water power
in the service of generating electric current, has been promoted
by the economics in transmission of electricity to distances
both great and small; by the harnessing of industrial
implements to electric power; and by the advancement and extension

"Before a company which manufactures electrical

The women of the past ages have made little progress

Only within the last few years have literary critics
