Filler element to Finished string
used for smoothing out a varying current, eliminating, or permitting to pass, certain alternating current
~
Filter element. (Auto.) The active part of an oil filter consisting of cloth or other material. Its purpose is to remove grit, dirt, and other foreign matter from the motor oil.
Filter paper. (Paper) An unsized rag paper made entirely from fibers, and used for filtering purposes.
Filtration of water. The act or process of filtering, as the removal of foreign matter by passing water through sand beds.
Fin. Any thin, waferlike expansion of metal occurring on the side or edge of a large portion. (Aero.) A fixed.
or adjustable airfoil, att~ched to an aircraft approximately parallel to the plane of symmetry, to afford directional stability; for example, tail fin; skid fin, etc. (Fdry.) A thin projecting bit of metal on a casting which occurs at the joint of a mold.
Fine arts. The arts of architecture, drawing, painting, and sculpture.
Fine feed. (Mach.) Opposite of coarse feed. A feed minute in quantity.
Fineness ratio. (Aero.) The ratio of the length to the maximum diameter of a streamline body, as an airship hull.
Fine pitch. A relative term. A gear with small teeth, or a screw with a comparatively high number of threads per inch is said to be of fine pitch.
Fines. (Plast.) Pulversized particles of material accompanying larger .grains or fibers.
Finger. (Mech.)A narrow, projecting piece used 8:s a guide, index, or stop, as a pawl for a ratchet. .
Finger joint. (Furn.) A hinge composed of interlocking fingers, usauaUy joined by a dowel running through holes in the fingers. Commonly used on the swing apron of a drop-leaf table.
Finial. (Arch.) An ornament at the top of a spire or steeple. A terminating or crowning detail.
Fining. The act of making clear or pure; as the fining of a precious metal.
Finish. (Bookbndg.) Degree of brilliance, pliability, and working qualitties of cloth, paper leather, and other binding materials. (Papermkg.) Principal paper finishes in order of smoothness: antique, eggshell, vellum, machine" English, and supercalendered.
Finish all over. (Mach.) A notation on a working drawing indicating that all surfaces are to be finished. Frequently represented as F.A.O.
Finish allowance. (Patmkg.) The amount added to a pattern to allow for machining to "finish size."
Finished string. (Arch. and Bldg.) The end string of a stair, secured to the rough carriage; cut, mitered, dressed, and often finished with a
