At the end of the engagement it was discovered by those of our officers who went alongside the enemy's ship with the wounded that her midship section on both sides was thoroughly iron-coated; this having been done with chain constructed for the purpose, placed perpendicularly from the rail to the water's edge, the whole covered over by a thin outer planking, which gave no indication of the armour beneath. ❋ Unknown (1864)
Chedder cliffs amply repaid us. never did I see a grander scene — immense rocks rising perpendicularly from the glen to such a height that as pains the neck of the spectator, & terminating in the most bold & fantastic manner. large trees grew from the interstices of the stone & the sheep browzed on the edge of every precipice. a stream of water cold & clear flows from under the rocks where we paused to drink & pour libations to the Naiad. on a similar spring at Chilcompton Coleridge has written a very beautiful poem. ❋ Unknown (1798)

- Without changing position of the body move stick across to the right, so that it falls perpendicularly down close to right cheek, elbow well up. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Drop right hand and move stick across front of body keeping elbow level with the shoulder: let the stick fall perpendicularly close to left side. ❋ Unknown (2010)
I put a small clip through the metal thing of a big one perpendicularly so that the small clip penetrates both sides of the metal prongs of the big clip, it fits perfectly. ❋ Unknown (2009)
