The great sensitiveness of the friction attachment employed by the Singer company is due chiefly to the transference of the friction plates to the axis of the machine itself (Fig. 13).

Q.Does friction increase with the extent of rubbing surface? A.No; the friction, so long as there is no violent heating or abrasion, is simply in the proportion of the pressure keeping the surfaces together, or nearly so.

The friction loss on a duplex compressor seldom gets lower than 15 per cent., while straight line compressors show as low a loss as 5 per cent.

The device itself is a friction brake, constructed in the form of a clip with holes in it for the three ropes to pass through.

When his fishing went wrong, he kindled naueld ("need-fire") or gnideild ("rubbed fire," "friction fire") to counteract the witchcraft, which he believed to be the cause of his bad luck.

By this machine are given such finishes as are known as "chasing finish" when the thready surface is wanted; "frictioning," or what is termed "glazing finish," "swigging finish," and "embossing finish;" the later is done by substituting a steel or copper engraved roller in place of the friction bowl.

Sometimes the power of an engine is ascertained by a friction break dynamometer applied to the shaft. 345.

The drum, A (Figs. 1 and 3), is mounted in a yoke suspended in such a manner as to bring no unnecessary, but still sufficient, pressure on the friction roller, B, to cause it to revolve the friction cone, C (both cone and roller being of wood and, say, well rubbed with resin so as to increase adhesion).

The loom beam, which is seen clearly immediately below the pressing rollers, is driven by friction because the surface speed of the yarn must be constant; hence, as the diameter over the yarn on the beam increases, the revolutions per minute of the beam must decrease, and a varying amount of slip takes place between the friction-discs and their flannels.

The principle of the friction disk has found most favor.

The friction grip, however, had certain faults, owing to the tendency of the shoe to slip when the surfaces became covered with oil.
