Laminate to Lauding
Laminate. (Fum.)To buno.up woo;.­ in layers, each layer being a lamination or ply. The construction of plywood. (Plast.) The plastic pro­duct which is laminated.
Laminated brush. (Elec.) A com­mutator brush built up of thin pieces of metal, usualIy spring copper, or bronze.
Laminated construction. Work built up in layers to secure maximum strength with minimum weight. In pattern making, this method elimi­nates cross-grain wood and provides strength, particularly on thin curved members.
Laminated core. (Elec.)An armature core built up of layers of insulated iron plates in order to prevent the formation of Foucault or eddy cur­rents in the metal.
Laminated liner. (Auto.) A shim made up of several layers; proper thick­ness can be obtained by removing layer-s.
Laminated plastics. (Plast. Art) A product of impregnating fibrous glass mat or cloth with a binding
plastic, usualIy Polyester Resin, and building up the layers of glass material within the lamination to
provide the required strength. The lamination may be flat as in a sheet, or it may be formed, as in a boat hulI, or a helmet. The product is said to be as strong as steel, weight for weight, as it is also referred to as the strongest commercial mate­rial. Its advantage is lightness with strength.
Lamp. (Elec.) A device having a filaincandenscence, gives' off light.
Lamp adapter. (Elec.) A contrivance for making possible the fitting of an incandescent lamp to a socket of a different size. .
Lamp annunciator. (Elec.) A group of miniature incandesce':!t lamps used on telephone switchboards to attract the a.tten.tion of the opera­tor.
Lamp bank. (Elec.) A board on which a number of receptacles for lamps are fastened and connected to binding posts.
Lamp base. (Elec.) The brass screw base attached to the end of an in­candescent lamp to permit attach­ment to a socket.
Lampblack. A finely divided car­bon derived from natural gas or oil by burning under plates or rolIers. Used in paint, ink, and rubber.
Lamp cord. (Elec.) Flexible cord composed of two,'stranded, insu­lated conductors, usually under one sheath.
Lamp efficiency. (Elec.) An expres­ sion used in practice, to mean the power in watts required to produce one candle power of light; watts per candle power (w.p.c.)
Lamp socket. (Elec.) A receptacle into which the base of a lamp is inserted, making connection be­tween the lamp and the circuit.
Land. (Shopwk.) Space between flutes or grooves in drills, taps, reamers, or other tools,
Lauding. (Aero.) The act of termi­nating flight in which the aircraft

is made to descend, lose flying speed, establish contact with the ground, and finally. come to rest. (Arch.) A platform introduced at some point in a stair run; used to change direction of stair or to break the run.
Landing angle. (Aero.) The acute an­gle between the line of thrust of an airplane and the horizontal when the airplane is resting on level ground in its natural position.
Landing-area floodlight. (Aero.) A device designed to illuminate the surface of a landing area.
Landing beam. (Aero.) A beam pro­jected from the field to indicate to a pilot his height above the ground and the position of the airplane on the proper path for a glide landing.
Landing-direction light. (Aero.) A light designed to indicate either by itself or in conjunction with other lights, the direction in which land­ings are to be made.
Landing field. (Aero.) A field of such size and surface as to make its use safe for the taking off and landing or aircraft. It mayor may not be a part of an airpost.
Landing flap. (Aero.) An attachment to the rear edge of a wing. When turned down on landing, it acts as an air brake.
Landing gear. (Aero.) The structure underneath an aircraft, the purpose of which is to reduce the shock of landing and to support the aircraft while it is on land or in water.
Landing light. (Aero.) A light carried by an aircraft to illuminate the ground while landing.

Landline. Cable system used for con­veying audio and other messages over long distances. .
Landing mat. (Aero.) A mat, usually of metal mesh or pierced metal strips laid down as a runway.
Landing newel. (Bldg. and Arch.) The post placed at the landing point of a stair and supporting the bal­uster.
Landing speed. (Aero.) The mini­mum speed at which an airplane can maintain itself in level flight and still be under adequate control.
Landing strip. (Aero.)A narrow and comparatively long area, forming part of a landplane airport or of an intermediate or auxiliary field, which is suitable for the landing and take off of airplanes under ordinary weather conditions.
Landing T. (Aero.) A large symbol shaped like a capital T which is laid out on a landing field or on the top of a building to guide opeFa­ tors in landing and taking off.
Landing tread. (Bldg.) The front end . of a: stair landing. Usually it is so built that the front edge has the thickness and finish of a stair thread and the back has the thiCkness of the flooring of the landing.
Landing wire. (Aero.) A wire de­ signed primarily to resist forces in the opposite direction to the nor­mal direction of the lift and to oppose the lift wire and prevent distortion of the structure by an overtightening of those members. Sometimes called "antilift" wire.
Landmark beacon. (Aero.) A bea­
