One reply to this is that it is not difficult to determine from time to time the errors of the screws and to apply the necessary corrections to the observations.

The later English artists have somewhat changed the mode of communicating motion to the slides, by attaching the screws pdrmanently to the micrometer head and tapping each micrometer screw into its slide.

Not if it screws up what we're doing... what we should be doing right now, instead of talking about my love life.

There are all kinds of different tools, pitons, hammers to set pitons, ice screws, pound-ins, ice hooks, wired nuts and cams—different stuff for different surfaces.

The eyepiece slides into the tube cd, which screws into the brass ring ef, through two openings in which the oblong frame, containing the micrometer slides, passes.

I, 2 and 3), used to bolt the head of one of the screws, and the instrument was provided with a slipping piece, giving motion to the micrometer by screws acting on two slides, one in right ascension, the other in declination, so that " either of the, webs can be placed upon either component of a double star with ease and certainty (Mem.

The five fixed webs are attached to the table which is secured to the bottom of the box by the screws p. The three movable webs are attached to the projections XX on the frame aa.

The microscope or viewing telescope is fitted with a spider-line micrometer having two screws at right angles to each other, by means of which readings can be made first on one reseau-line, then on the star, and finally on the opposite reseau-line in both co-ordinates.

Two other screws, o, p, the heads of which are not graduated, give motions to the whole micrometer box through t 1 mm.

The manufacture of woollens, linens, hosiery, furniture, gloves, paper, machinery and tools, carriages, nuts and screws, needles and other hardware goods is carried on.

Where the rail-gauge is narrow and great weight is not desired, blocking girders are provided across the under side of the truck; these are arranged so that, by means of wedges or screws, they can be made to increase the base.

A coarse screw-thread is formed in the upper part of the inner cup, and this screws on to the end of the iron bolt by which it is supported.

The coils of the electromagnets are differentially wound with silk-covered wire, 4 mils (= 004 inch) in diameter, to a total resistance of 400 ohms. This differential winding enables the instrument to be used for " duplex " working, but the connexions of the wires to the terminal screws are such that the relay can be used for ordinary single working.

By means of several adjusting screws the force and frequency of these blows can be exactly regulated.

Among the city's manufactures are oxide of tin and other chemicals, iron and steel, leather goods, automobiles and bicycles, electrical and telephone supplies, butted tubing, gas engines, screws and bolts, silk, lace and hosiery.

Two other prominent categories are also worth exploring and they are the Special Application category and Nose Pad Screws section.

There are easy fixes that can be done at home, like loose screws or nose pad replacements.

Screws can fall out due to becoming stripped.

Some screws simply need to be tightened and this can be done with the simple twist of a screwdriver.

While it's smart to keep a kit to replace glasses screws and nose pads, other parts of your glasses can break, crack, or become damaged.

The tiny ones will easily take the place of screws lost on standard eyeglass styles.

Check out Eyewear Repair Express eBay for singular eyeglass parts purchases, including nose pads and screws.

For example, if you need to replace screws in the arm bar or replace nose pads, you can do this by simply purchasing an eye glass repair kit at almost any local department store.

However, this warranty is only offered on manufacturing and material defects, and does not cover damage caused by improper handling, such as scratches or loss of screws.

Usually, they can provide same-day replacement of screws or minor parts and can do more complex repairs and parts replacements within several days.

Many optical stores carry standard replacement parts, such as screws and nose pads, in the form of a repair kit.

Replace missing screws with those from the repair kit; tighten with a mini screw-driver.

Check screws occasionally and tighten as necessary.

Another idea to consider is getting your frames inspected every several months to make sure that screws and hinges are tight and your lenses are secure in the frame.

Many times you can purchase wine glass racks that come with no instructions and just a set of screws.

A cell phone case goes on top of this and is either held in place by tiny screws or with a snap-together design.

He constructed gratings up to 340 periods to the inch by straining fine wire over screws.

In Rowland's dividing engine the screws were prepared by a special process devised by him, and the resulting gratings, plane and concave, have supplied the means for much of the best modern optical work.

The slides are moved by the screws a and b, the divided heads of which serve to measure the separation of the segments.

These screws are turned from the eye-end by bevelled wheels and pinions, the latter connected with the handles a', b'.

The reading micrometers e, f also serve to measure, independently, the separation of the segments, by scales attached to the slides; such measurements can be employed as a check on those made by the screws.

The third method is the most symmetrical of all, both in observation and reduction; but it was not employed by Bessel, on the ground that it involved the determination of the errors of two screws instead of one.

He considered that the changes were due to wear, which would be much lessened if the screws were protected from dust.

But the method is not available if the separation is to be measured by screws; it is found, in that case, that the direction of the final motion of turning of the screw must always be such as to produce motion of the segment against gravity, otherwise the " loss of time " is apt to be variable.

Thus the simple connexion of the two screws by cogwheels to give them automatic opposite motion is not an available method unless the separation of the segments is independently measured by scales.

Side-shake is prevented by the screws and pieces k, k, k, k.

Accordingly, in reading the scales A and B (attached to the slides which carry the two halves of the object-glass), it is only necessary to turn the screws until the fixed 1 The primary object was to have the object-glass mounted in steel cells, which more nearly correspond in expansion with glass.

The water-tight lining may be either a wrought iron tube, which is pressed down by jack screws as the borehole advances, or cast iron tubbing put together in short complete rings, in contradistinction to the old plan of building them up of segments.

The hand-wheel that screws the gun and cradle down at the same time screws the sight up, and vice versa.

The probable errors and eccentricities of small micrometer-screws have been carefully investigated to ± 0.00001 inch; but the accuracy of leading screws used in workshops has not been sufficiently verified.

For some engineering purposes it would appear to be desirable to produce master-screws to an accuracy of (1/2000)th of an inch to the foot of screw, so as to serve indirectly for the verification of "guiding screws" for general use in workshops.

The fallers are travelled forwards by means of screws, and when at the end of the screw are dropped automatically into the thread of a receiving screw fixed below, which carries the fallers back to their starting point to be risen by cams into the top pair of screws thus to repeat their journey.

These rise 'Two screws, of different pitch, are provided, to give different speeds.

To the legs is screwed a plate 00, which supports the lower side of the plate PP. This receives the ends of the screws SS by which the instrument is levelled, its annular portion being larger than the collar in 00, so that, until clamped by the screwed plate above it, the whole of the instrument except the legs can be moved horizontally in any direction to the extent of about in.

The bearings for receiving these trunnions are V-shaped; the V on one side is fixed, while the other is cut through and can be narrowed or made wider, thus lifting or lowering the trunnion by means of two capstan-headed screws.
