Wood turning to Worm threads

Length is measured from largest bearing diameter of head to the point of the screw. Gimlet points are standard, and screw.s are made bright galvanized and blued. Increment be­tween sizes is 0.013 of.an inch. They are made in sizes No. 0 to 30 and in length from 1,4 in. to 6 in. The thread extends for seven tenths the length and the included angle of the head of flathead wood screws is 82 deg.

Works manager. The general super­intendent in an industrial plant. In many establishments same as chief engineer.
Worm-and-gear steering. (Auto.) Consists of a worm on the lower end of the steering-gear shaft mesh­ing with a worm gear on the cross shaft. Adjustment is usually well taken care of.
Worm drive. (Auto.) Drive by worm and wheel instead of bevel gear and pinion, or chain.
Worm gearing. (Gear.) Gearing composed for worms and worm wheels.
Worm threads. (Mach.) These threads are of the acme type, having

an included angle of 29deg., but are usually made deeper than the stan­dard acme thread.
Wove paper. (Paper) Paper which does not have the watermark lines which can be seen in a laid paper.
Wow. Slow variation pitch caused by speed fluctuation in tape or record movement.
Wrap. A term describing the amount of the recording tape which is actu­ally in contact with the surface of the tape head. Usually measured in angle of wrap.

Wreath piece. (Bldg.) The curved sec­tion of the handrail string of a curved or winding stair. Also simple wreath.
Wrecking bar. (Mach.) A steel bar usually from I to 2 ft. in length, with one end drawn to a thin edge, the other curved to a claw.
Wrench. (Mach.) Common types are adjustable wrenches, monkey wrenches, double-end S wrenches, box wrenches, T wrenches, and socket wrenches. (Mech.)A tool for exerting a twisting strain, as in tight­ening a nut or bolt.
Wringing fit. (class 5) (Mach.) Also known as "tunking fit." A metal-to­metal fit usually not suitable for in­terchangeable parts.
Wrinking. (Paint and Lacquer) A gathered or wrinkled film is caused by applying heavy coats, abnormal heat or humidity, or the application of an elastic film over a surface.
Wrist pin. (Mach.) Sometimes ap­plied to a crankpin or to any pro­jecting pin which receives a con­necting rod; in general, the pin connecting the rod to the crosshead in a steam engine, or connecting. the connecting rbd to the piston in a gasoline engine. WRMS. Weighted Root Mean Square.
Wrong font. (Print.) Any letter of a kind different from that of the other letters of the word in which it is used.
Wrong side. (Papermkg.) Term applied to the wire side of a sheet of paper for it displays the impres­sion of the wire more clearly than the "righeffectt" right which is also called the felt side.
Wrought iron. (Metal.) Iron which has had the major portion of its carbon, as well as the foreign el­ements .which would its working value, removed. W. W. Wire Wound.
Wye. (Plumb.) A fitting, either cast or wrought, that has one side out­let at any other angle than 90 deg. The angle is usually 45 deg. unless otherwise .specified.
Wye level. (Surv.) The spirit level is attached to the telescope which rests in two Y-shaped supports. These are fastened to a horizontal . bar to which the vertical axis is attached. The telescope' can be taken out of the Y's, turned end for end, and replaced when testing the bubble for adjust.ment.
