Some of the more important consumers of the electric power, named in the order of consumption, are for the manufacture of the following products: calcium carbide, aluminium, caustic soda and bleaching salt, carborundum, and graphite.

Artificial graphite is another product produced by the long-continued action of the heat of the electric furnace on carbon under certain conditions.

According to reports from the United States Geological Survey, the graphite works at Niagara Falls produced in 1901, 2,500,000 lbs.

of artificial graphite, valued at $119,000.

The Trampler pyrometer is based upon the difference in the coefficients of dilatation for iron and graphite, that of the latter being about two-thirds that of the former.

There is an iron tube containing a stick of hard graphite.

At the top of the stick of graphite is a metal cap carrying a knife-edge, on which rests a bent lever pressed down upon it by a light spring.

In this way the relative dilatation of the graphite is sufficiently magnified to be easily visible.

And this tall, still woman beside himalmost as tall as he, of rarest texture, and with a voice sensuously soft, having that quality of softness which distinguishes a charcoal from a graphite linethis woman seemed identified in some remoteness of mind with long-ago rainy days, of which there had been none too many....

I gnawed the wood quite from the pencil, leaving only the graphite core.

With a bit of graphite a hand guided by the unerring insolence of elation may artistically damn all men and things.

As the thought I had in mind seemed an immortal one I decided to etch, rather than write with fugitive graphite.

It is not made of lead, but of graphite, which is a kind of coal.

Graphite and mica are both good chain lubricants, but if mixed with a pure mineral base, such as vaseline, they will wash off in mud and water.

Before putting on a chain, it is a good thing to dip it in melted tallow and then grease it thoroughly from time to time with a graphite compound of vaseline and animal fat.
