But there are resemblances to the ordered sticking together of pre-assembled parts, as when, in a car assembly plant, previously manufactured carburettors and distributor heads and fan belts and cylinder heads are brought together and joined in correct apposition. ❋ RICHARD DAWKINS (2009)
Balancing the carburettors took a bit of time, but she was a good car. ❋ James, P. D. (1988)
He found an oily cloth and used it to rub clean part of the right suspension, a fuel line, the steering linkage and one of the carburettors in the engine compartment. ❋ MacLean, Alistair, 1922- (1973)
Universal joints, big ends, carburettors, I carry them all. ❋ Francis, Dick (1967)
I positively dreamt of carburettors, magnetoes, and how to change tyres! ❋ Pat Beauchamp Washington (N/A)
The engine is mounted aft, driving a four-bladed pusher propeller, with the petrol tanks situated in front feeding the carburettors by gravity. ❋ George Whale (N/A)
A water-cooled 100 horse-power Green engine propelled the ship, and a new feature was the disposition of petrol, which was carried in two aluminium tanks slung from the envelope and fed through flexible pipes to a two-way cock and thence to the carburettors. ❋ George Whale (N/A)
Of limousine bodies, carburettors, spark-plugs, and inner tubes he spoke with freedom and eloquence, but the subject of love and marriage he avoided absolutely. ❋ Unknown (1928)
Two Zenith carburettors are fitted on the rear half of the crank case, and short induction pipes are led to each cylinder; each of the carburettors is heated by the exhaust gases. ❋ Evelyn Charles Vivian (1914)
The dry weight of the engine, complete with propeller boss, carburettors, and induction pipes, is 850 lbs., and the gross weight in running order, with fuel and oil for six hours working, is 2,671 lbs., exclusive of cooling water. ❋ Evelyn Charles Vivian (1914)
Two carburettors were fitted, to reduce the induction piping to a minimum; one was attached to each combustion chamber, and ignition was by the normal high-tension magneto driven from the halftime shaft. ❋ Evelyn Charles Vivian (1914)
Two carburettors are fitted, and two two-spark magnetos, running at one and three-quarters engine speed. ❋ Evelyn Charles Vivian (1914)
Another, the Roberts two-stroke cycle engine, yielded 100 brake horse-power from six cylinders of the stepped piston design; two carburettors, each supplying three cylinders, were fitted to this engine. ❋ Evelyn Charles Vivian (1914)
The Cosmos 'Jupiter' was -- for it is no longer being made -- a 450 horse-power nine-cylinder radial engine, air-cooled, with the cylinders set in one single row; it was made both geared to reduce the propeller revolutions relatively to the crankshaft revolutions, and ungeared; the normal power of the geared type was 450 horse-power, and the total weight of the engine, including carburettors, magnetos, etc., was only ❋ Evelyn Charles Vivian (1914)
If this decorative lad engages in some profession like medicine or engineering there is hope for him, even as others of his age rectify their perspective by contact with crude facts -- groceries and calicoes and carburettors and so forth. ❋ Norman Douglas (1910)
A minute later two yells announced that the floats from their carburettors also had disappeared. ❋ Herbert George Jenkins (1899)
He talked about dinner, and buying petrol for the car, and told me dull facts about tiresome things called carburettors. ❋ Unknown (1889)
And just as you can boast to your mates about how many carburettors your V12 has, so you can boast about your watch. ❋ Iain Hollingshead (2011)
"I got standard U. S.-spec unsleeved cylinders, high performance Wiseco forged pistons, 33mm Mikuni flatslide racing carburettors, entire crankshaft assembly with original Yamaha conrods and Boyseen fiber racing reeds from the U.ited States for approximately Rs. 33,000." ❋ Unknown (2010)
