Silver to Sisal fiber

Silver to single cut fibre
Silver. (Min.) Symbol Ag. A white, ductile, malleable metal; an excel­lent conductor of heat and electricity. Melting point, 1750°F.; specific gravity 10 to II according to purity. Silver solder. Consists of I part cop­per and from 2 to 4 parts silver. It is used by jewelers.
Silver white. (Wood Fin.) A pure va­riety of white lead, but more commonly known to painters as filler materials; a fine grade of pulver­ized silica.
Similar poles. (E/ec.) When two mag­netic poles repel each other, they are magnetically similar or like.
Simple editing. A term used by some manufacturers to indicate that the VTRs do not have capstan servo or head drum servo editing; an imprecise method of electronic editing which does not guarantee dean edits.
Simple equation. (Math.) A math­ematical expression of quality between two or more quantities.
Simple machine. (Mech.) One whose operating principle is based on the action of anyone of the follow­ing; the lever, pulley, 'inclined plane, screw, wheel and axle, or wedge. Simpled. Pertaining to a telegraphic or telephonic system in which communication between two sta­tions takes place in only on direc­tion at a time.
Simulate. To assume or have the apperarance or characteristic of. Simulator. A machine for simulating certain environmental and other conditions for purposes of train­ing or experimentation. Simulcast. Abbreviation of simulta­neous broadcast. Is most usually applied to a combination of TV picture and FM stereo broadcast sound but could be applied to any two media.
Sine. (Math.) The function of an angle in a right-angled triangle; the ratio of the side opposite that angle to the hypotenuse.
.. Sine bar. (Math.) A device used for measuring angles accurately or for locating work to a given angle. It consists of a straightedge to which are attached two hardened and ground plugs.
Sine curve. (E/ec.) A curve is said to be sinusoidal when each instanta­neous ordinate equals the maxi­mum ordinate times the sine of the angle that the maximum ordi­nate is from the horizontal e = E sin L.
Single-acting. (Mech.)A machine, or device. in which the motive power is applied in one direction only; action is effective in one direction only.
Single belting. (Mech.) A belt formed of only a single thickness of leather.
Single-contact lamp. (E/ec.) A type of lamp used principally on auto­mobiles. having but one contact in the end of the base. The sides of the base and socket complete the circuit.
Single-cut file. (Meta/wk.) A file hav­Single floatl to Sisal fibering parallel lines of teeth running diagonally across its f~ in one direction only, at an angle of 65 degrees as distinguished from. a double-cut file which has a double series of teeth crossing each other at an oblique angle.
Single Ooat. (Aero.) A single central float fitted .under a seaplane and usually requiring two stabilizing floats to give adequate stability and complete the float system.
Single phase. (Elee.) A single, inde­pendent a.c. circuit or winding. Single-phase alternating current. (Elee.) When the output from an aItemating-current generator is ob­tainable from a coil or coils in series, the current is single phase. In one revolution of the generator the current will evidence one com­plete set of values.
Single-phase induction motor. (Elee.)- An alternating-current motor in which the field magne­tism sets up an opposing field in the armature windings, causing rotation. Since the current in the armature is set up by induction, no commutator or brushes are re­quired.
Single--plate clutch. (Auto.) A popu­lar clutch consisting of three plates, usually two driving plates and one driven plate. So called because of the single driven plate.
Single--pole switch. (Elee.) A switch that opens and closes only one side of Ii circuit.
Single riveting. (Engin.) Refers to a riveted joint made with only one row of rivets.
Single--thick cover. (Papermkg.) A cover paper of medium thickness made without pasting.
Single--thread screw. (Mach.) A screw having a single helix or thread. Its pitch and lead are equal.
Sinkage. (Print.) The blank space which occurs at the beginning of a chapter in a book.
Sinking speed. (Aero.) The }cite at which an aircraft loses altitude, especially as it descends in a glide in still air under given conditions of equilibrium.
Sink mark. (Plast.) Dimplelike de­pression in the surface of a molded piece indicating that it has re­tracted from the mold. The mark has rounded edges and shows a surface film.
Sinter. (Ceram.) To convert, as par­ticles, into a coherent solid mass by heating without thorough melt­ing.
Siphon. (Meeh. Engin.) A bent tube for drawing off liquids by making use of atmospheric pressure. Sisal fiber. The hemp like fiber of sev­eral Mexican and Central Ameri­can plants, next to manila hemp in strength and durability.
