– who, to be politically correct about it, could be kindly described as circumferentially challenged. ❋ Douglas Kennedy (2005)
This columnist, to pick a random example, thinks of himself as neither fat nor obese, but gracefully concedes that he is a bit circumferentially challenged. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Alternately, for more receptivity today, inhale to round and sense the space; exhale to circumferentially lift your heart and chest. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Marge was a circumferentially challenged New Age goof who lived by herself with her beloved cats and her crystals and her recordings of Nepalese goat chants in her one-bedroom ashram. ❋ Douglas Kennedy (2006)
The shrinkage of wood is about twice as great circumferentially as in the radial direction; lengthwise, it is very slight. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
Under this treatment it expanded circumferentially and at the same time was reduced in length. ❋ Various (N/A)
This would be caused by the barrel under pressure becoming extended circumferentially, and thereby reduced in length, because the metal that is required to supply the increased circumference is taken to some extent from the length, although the substance of metal in the walls of the barrel by its expansion contributes also to the increased diameter. ❋ Various (N/A)
The bents were erected by hand and carefully plumbed and lined up, both radially and circumferentially. ❋ Halbert Powers Gillette (N/A)
For concreting, the wall was divided circumferentially into three sections. ❋ Halbert Powers Gillette (N/A)
The mould is made up of a number of wedge pieces which close circumferentially on the enclosed mass, which is also subjected to end pressure. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
Difficulties may be avoided by care in selecting timber suitable for jointing, and it must be remembered that timber shrinks circumferentially (the heart side becoming curved) as dotted lines in Fig. 10. ❋ William Fairham (N/A)
In the longitudinal direction, for most woods, it is almost negligible, being from 20 to over 100 times as great circumferentially as longitudinally. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
` ` On account of both rails being used for circuits, ... the driving-wheels had to be split circumferentially and completely insulated from the axles. ❋ Unknown (1910)
The breadth of this outer ring was 7 feet, and it consisted of some nine rows of beams running circumferentially. ❋ Andrew Lang (1878)
A certain fallen angel (politeness toward his numerous and influential friends forbids me to mention his name abruptly) lately entered into the body of Mr. Ananias Pullwool, of Washington, D.C. As the said body was a capacious one, having been greatly enlarged circumferentially since it acquired its full longitude, there was accommodation in it for both the soul of Pullwool himself (it was a very little one) and for his distinguished visitant. ❋ Nathaniel Parker Willis (1875)
The germinal vesicle and spot cease to be discernible (their precise fate being one of the yet unsolved problems of embryology), but the yelk becomes circumferentially indented, as if an invisible knife had been drawn round it, and thus appears divided into two hemispheres (Figure 12, C). ❋ Thomas Henry Huxley (1860)

All these results show that the power of inducing electric currents is circumferentially exerted by a magnetic resultant or axis of power, just as circumferential magnetism is dependent upon and is exhibited by an electric current. ❋ Michael Faraday (1829)
That sounds like circumferentially reinforced; how is it prestressed? ❋ Piolenc (2010)
