Reinforced to Relay station
erating conditions; a device for maintaining a designated charac
-teristic, as voltage or current, at a predetermined value, or for varying it according to a predetermined plan.
Reinforced. (Arch.) Strengthened by the addition of extra material. Reinforced concrete has within its mass iron or steel rods, bars or shapes to give it additional strength.
Reinforced concrete. (Engin.) Concrete work increased in strength by iron or steel bars imbedded in it.
Reinforcement. (Plast.) Embedments within a plastic sheet or form which give the product strength, toughness, and rigidity. Reinforcement refers principally to laminated plastic, where the chief ingredient is glass fiber, either in cloth or mat form, and in certain ~pplications, cut-glass-fiber'is the added material. Glass fiber lends great strength to the product, but other materials, such as resin fiber, sisal, asbestos, and others, are also employed.
Reinforcing steel. (Engin.) Steel bars used in concrete construction to give added strength.
Reiterate. To do repeatedly. Reject. To refuse to act upon.
Rejection. The state of being rejected.
Rejector. A parallel resonant (antiresonant) circuit comprising an inductance and a capacitor in parallel. The dynamic impedance of such a circuit is maximum at oneparticular frequency.
Relating. Having reference to; refer ring.
Relative atomic mass. The average mass per atom of a given specimen of an element expressed in unified atomic mass specimen. The natural isotropic composition is assumed unless otherwise stated.
Relative density. See specific gravity.
Relative humidty. (Meteor.) Ratio of the amount of moisture in the air at a given temperature to the total amount the ai.r can hold at that temperature.
Relative inclinometer. (Aero.) An instrument which indicates the atltitude of an aircraft with reference to apparent gravity, i.e., to the resultant of the acceleration of the aircraft and that due to gravity.
Relative motion. (phys.) Motion of one object with respect to another.
Relative wind. (Aero.) The velocity of the air with reference to a body in it. It is usually determined from measurements made at such a distance from the body that the disturbing effect of the body upon the air is negligible.
Relay. (Elec.) A device for opening or closing a local circuit under given conditions in the main circuit.
Relay station. (Tel.) A station used to receive picture and sound sig-' nals from a master station and to transmit them to a second relay
Relief to Reprint station or to a television station transmitter.
Relief. (Engin.. Draw, and Print.) That which stands out prominently from a surface is said to be in relief.
Relief printing. (Print.) Printing done by the letterpress process; i.e., from movable type or plates.
Relieving. (Mach.) Removing of material back or" the cutting edge' . of a tool to reduce friction, as on milling cutters, etc.
Relish. (Carp.) The shoulder on a tenon.
Reluctance. (Elec.) The resistance offered to the magnetic flux by the substance magnetized.
Remote. (Tel.) Any program originating outside of studios.
Remote control. (Aero.) Control from a distance; especially by means of electricity or electronics; a controlling switch, lever, or other device used in this kind of control. (Elec.) The control of electrical apparatus or machinery from a distance by the use' of a relay or other electromagnetic device.
Remote pickups. (Tel.) Events televised away from the studio by a mobile unit or by permanently installed equipment at the remote location.
Renaissance. (Arch.) A style of building and decoration which followsthe medieval. It originated in Italy during the fifteenth century.
Renewable fuse. (Elec.) An enclosed fuse, so constructed that the fusing material can be readily replaced.
Renversement. (Aero.) A maneuver consisting of a half roll and a half loop in the order named. .
Rep. (Uphol.) A reversible fabric used extensively for draperies and for the upholstering of seat cushions.
Repair. To restore to a good or sound condition after decay or damage.
Repair kit. A container or kit of tools and/or parts suitable for repair and adjustment of objects in some particular field.
Repeater. A device capable of receiving one-way or two-way communications signals and delivering corresponding signals.
Repel. To push back or away by a force, as one body acting, upon another.
Repetition. (I) The doing, making, or saying of something again or repeatedly. (2) Recital from memory.
Replacing. Renewing; restoring to a former place, condition, or the like; taking the place of.
Replica. An exact copy or reproduction.
Repousse. (Metal.) A pattern on thin metal beaten up from the reverse side and modeted by working from the other side.
Representative. Typical; being of the best style or type.
Reprint. (Print.) A new printing, as for an additional supply after the original edition has been exhausted.
