Sir W. Thomson tells us that the accumulation of something more than a foot of ice around the poles (which implies the withdrawal of, say, an inch of water from the general surface of the sea) will cause the earth to rotate quicker by one-tenth of a second per annum.

Turn, revolve, rotate, spin, whirl, gyrate.

By cutting across this conductor, and causing the further part to rotate upon the nearer, I could divert the current through any required angle.

These three gentlemen, who were called "The Trinity," used to rotate in the government of the state until Corral was made vice-president, when Torres and Izabal took turn about until the death of the latter shortly before the Madero revolution.

At the big end the spheres of the planets rotating on their axes and revolving round the sun; and at the little end the spheres of the atoms consisting of particles which, modern science tells us, in like manner rotate round a common center at distances which are astronomical as compared with their own mass.

And even the Munchkin farmers rotate their crops to keep their soil in balance.

" "Rotate it?" scoffed the Sniffer President.

She quickly outlined the plan to rotate crops and territory.

Thrust a pin through the center and rotate it rapidly.

On a circular white disk, about halfway between the center and circumference, fix a small, black, oblong disk, and rapidly rotate it by means of a rotating wheel.

Attach it so as to rotate it rapidly, as on a sewing machine.

During this phase, the ears ring loudly, the eyeballs rotate and there is a tingling about the brow.

Faraday's early electric motor consisted essentially in a device whereby a movable conductor, suspended so as to be capable of rotation around a magnet pole, was caused to rotate by the mutual interaction of the magnetic fields of the active conductor and the magnet.

rodar, to roll, move along, rotate, revolve, roll down hill.

Without deranging position of the hand, rotate the pistol so the sights move to the left, the barrel pointing to the right front and up.

1.] A.By flying out until they assume a vertical height answering to the velocity with which they rotate round the central axis.

The borers applied to the rock the piston of a cylinder made to rotate with great rapidity by the pressure of air reduced to one-twentieth of its ordinary volume; then when they had made holes sufficiently deep, they withdrew the machines and charged the mines with dynamite.

This yoke, filling snugly between two collars formed upon a sleeve which it embraces, imparts a longitudinal motion to the latter, while at the same time leaving it free to rotate.

The shaft is caused to rotate, and the blades divide and subdivide the material, forcing it always downward, so that it at last escapes at the bottom of the pug mill in a continuous stream of moist, well worked up clay, issuing with some force.

For example, take two eggs, one raw and the other hard boiled, and spin them on the table; press the finger for a moment upon either of them whilst it is still spinning: if it be the hard-boiled egg it will stop as dead as a stone: if it be the raw egg, after a little apparent hesitation, it will begin again to rotate.

By the use of a powerful electromotor, the shafting is caused to rotate at the rate of 400 revolutions per minute by electricity.

The general plan of attack was that the whole American line should rotate to the north and west on Caloocan as a pivot, driving the Insurgents in toward Malabon if possible.

Captain Scott, R.N., employs a solid projectile dressed to fit by machinery; but the surfaces of the lands upon which the shot presses are radial to the bore, so that the rotation of the shot tends, not to split the gun, but simply to rotate it in the opposite direction.

The eyes of the flyers always rotate in the same horizontal plane, and hence the rove always passes to the bobbins at the same height from any fixed point.

Each rove bobbin is free to rotate on its own peg as the rove from it is drawn downwards by the retaining rollers.
