Torsion to Transcription

torsion spring to Tracing paper
crankshaft to reduce vibration set up by piston impulses.
Torsion spring. A helical spring which operates when both ends are fastened, producing a coiling and uncoiling motion as in a door spring.
Torso. (Arch.) (I) A telm applied to columns with twisted shafL (2) A damaged statue of which only the trunk remains.
Torus. (Arch.) A large convex molding of nearly semicircular section, largely used as a base molding. .
Tote boxes or pans. (Shopwk.) Boxes or pans, generally of metal, used in industrial establishments for carry­ing or storing small parts. They are usually slightly tapered on the sides so that, when empty, they can be stacked.
Toughness. (En gin.) The resistance of a metal to begin permanent defor­mation and the further resistance to failure after permanent deformation has begun.
Touring car. (Auto.) An obsolete term for a car body of open design, suit­able for five or seven passengers.
Tower. (Arch.) A structure larger than a pinnacle and less tapering than a steeple; frequently a part of a large building.
T plate. (Bldg. and Furn.) A metal plate shaped like a letter T used for strengthening a joint where the end of one and the side of another meet.
Trace. (Draw.) To follow as with a pencil; sketch; map out. To copy, as a drawing on tracing linen or tracing paper.
Tracer. An apprentice or sub'­draftsman who prepares tracings from the drawings made by a draftsman called the detailer.
Tracery. (Arch.) The ornamentation of panels, circular windows, win­dow heads, etc.
Trachelium. (Arch.) The neck of a Greek Doric column between the annulets and the grooves or hypotrachelium.
Tracing. (Draw.) Sketching; design­ing; drawing. Usually the linen, paper, or other transparent mate­rial on which a drawing has been made for quantity reproduction. (Tel.) Accuracy with which phono stylus tip foHows geometry of re­corded modulations. (Not to be confused with tracking).
Tracing a circuit. (Auto. Elec.) (1) Identifying a particular circuit from source to point of operation, visually, by means of meter, or by a bell-ringing generator, in order to locate faults or to add to the circuit. (2) Identifying a circuit by means of coloured threads wo­v~n into the wire covering.
Tracing distortion. Inability of phono stylus to follow recorded modulations due to finite tip radius.
Tracing lineen. (Draw.) A linen coated with a sizing on which drawings are made for reproduction.
Tracing paper. (Draw.) Thin semi­transparent paper on which draw­ings are made for blueprinting. It is much less expensive than tracing linen, and, when not to be used too. frequently, serves almost equally well.

Tracing tool. (Leather. ~ A small, pointed tool, used both the tracing and finishing designs on leather.
Track. Recorded path along length of magnetic tape. Also, sometimes used for a recorded band on disc or as a verb in connection and stylus tracking.
Trackability. Ability of phono car­tridge to track record grooces of high amplitude and velocity.
Tracking. Acuracy with which stylus follows dynamics of recorded modulations. (Not to be confused with tracking). Also, correlation between tuning ofLO and RF stages in superhet radio.

Tracking Distortion. Inability of stylus to follow recorded modula­tions due to high mechanical impedance or low playing weight.
Trackign error. Deviation of centre­line of phono cartridge from tan­gential of record at point of stylus contact. Caused by tonearm geo­metry. . .
