Leading In

Even now, I think being asked point-blank with no leading-in conversation, “So, where are you from?” is a bit rude. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Bob's room, and drop the insulated leading-in wire through. ❋ Allen Chapman (N/A)

"All we've got to do now is to hook up our leading-in wire and ground wire and we'll be all set," said Bob. ❋ Allen Chapman (N/A)

Bob set one of the sliders about at the middle of the tuning coil, and set the other -- the one connected to the leading-in wire -- about opposite. ❋ Allen Chapman (N/A)

On one corner of Bob's big table they had inserted a small knife-blade switch in the leading-in wire, so that the set could be disconnected from the aerial when not in use, or during storms so as to guard against lightning. ❋ Allen Chapman (N/A)

"When you two fellows are all through arguing, maybe we can go up and hook on our leading-in wire to the aerial," said Joe, impatiently. ❋ Allen Chapman (N/A)

This made it comparatively easy to connect up with the antenna, as all they had to do was to bring the leading-in wire through the frame of the scuttle, drill a hole through the attic floor and the ceiling of ❋ Allen Chapman (N/A)

This lamp has a carbon filament, platinum leading-in wires, a good vacuum, and is well sealed and highly finished. ❋ Unknown (1910)

External binding posts mounted on the tail cap, as shown, were connected by heavy leading-in wires to the terminals of the electromagnet. ❋ George Patterson (1910)

For many reasons, the refractory body is placed in the centre of the bulb, and it is usually supported on a glass stem containing the leading-in wire. ❋ Nikola Tesla (1899)

In experimental bulbs the leading-in wire is most generally used on account of convenience, as in employing condenser coatings in the manner indicated in Fig. 22, for example, there is some difficulty in fitting the parts, but these difficulties would not exist if a great many bulbs were manufactured; otherwise the energy can be conveyed through the glass as well as through a wire, and with these high frequencies the losses are very small. ❋ Nikola Tesla (1899)

Since the bombardment against the stem containing the leading-in wire is due to the inductive action of the latter upon the rarefied gas, it is of advantage to reduce this action as far as practicable by employing a very thin wire, surrounded by a very thick insulation of glass or other material, and by making the wire passing through the rarefied gas as short as practicable. ❋ Nikola Tesla (1899)

I am convinced that the illuminating device of the near future will not require for its operation more than one lead, and, at any rate, it will have no leading-in wire, since the energy required can be as well transmitted through the glass. ❋ Nikola Tesla (1899)

In the tube is screwed a plug P, of insulating material, in the centre of which is fastened a metallic terminal t, for the connection to the leading-in wire w. ❋ Nikola Tesla (1899)

In studying the phenomenon, by all means a bulb having no leading-in wire should be used. ❋ Nikola Tesla (1899)

Such a lamp as illustrated in Fig. 25 may also be lighted by connecting the tinfoil coating on the neck n to the terminal, and the leading-in wire w to an insulated plate. ❋ Nikola Tesla (1899)

To combine these features I employ a large tube T (Fig. 21), which protrudes into the bulb to some distance, and carries on the top a very short glass stem s, into which is sealed the leading-in wire w, and I protect the top of the glass stem against the heat by a small, aluminium tube a and a layer of mica underneath the same, as usual. ❋ Nikola Tesla (1899)

In each bulb the piece of filament was fastened to the leading-in wire of platinum, contained in a glass stem sealed in the bulb; care being taken, of course, to make everything as nearly alike as possible. ❋ Nikola Tesla (1899)

To obviate this loss, or at least to reduce it to a minimum, I usually screen the rarefied gas surrounding the stem from the inductive action of the leading-in wire by providing the stem with a tube or coating of conducting material. ❋ Nikola Tesla (1899)

I was [lead on] because he didn’t wanna [hurt] [my feelings] ❋ ANGEL'JOREE (2020)

man, she told me she [liked] me she even said i was cute and wanted to [hangout] with me more, now she doesnt even [talk to me], I was totally lead on ❋ Kyoto (2008)

Josh: "Do you know a lead on is?" Ethan: "What?" Josh: "It's when someone tells you [something nice] will happen but then it doesn't and it ruins your entire life." ________________________________________ Josh: "[Becca] led me on for 14 months, that we know of!"
