Page 113 - Fig. 37 represents the No. 3 planimeter, which differs somewhat in design from the two previously described. It is capable of measuring larger areas, and by means of the adjustable arm A giving the results in various denominations of value, such as square decimeters, square feet and square inches ; also of giving the average height of an indicator diagram in fortieths of an inch, which makes it a very useful instrument in connection with indicator work.

Page 113 - Planimeter Care should be taken to have a flat, even, unglazed surface for the roller wheel to travel upon. A sheet of dull finished cardboard serves the purpose very well. Set the weight in position on the pivot end of the bar P, and after placing the instrument and the diagram in about the position shown in the cut (Fig.
Page 114 - Divide this by the length of the diagram, which we will call 3 inches, and we have .8266 inch as the average height of the diagram. Multiply this by the scale of the spring used in taking the diagram, which in this case is 40, and we have 33.06 pounds as the mean effective pressure per square inch on the piston of the engine.

Page 128 - The deposit of carbon frequently found where crude oil is used does not enter the cylinder or come in contact with the piston or piston rings, but is formed in the vaporizer cap. A flange cover at the back of the cap (not shown in this illustration) allows the quick removal of this deposit periodically, usually about every 60 hours.
