Pitman

A pitman named Gregory Robbs or Bling Bling, for the gold he wears ran down the list of supplies that are typically used each Sunday morning: 2,200 eggs, 80 pounds of bacon, a few hundred pounds of pancake mix. ❋ Unknown (2004)

As these were made, they were hung upon an arm of the pitman who had last come up, with instructions how to use them: and as he stood, shown by the light he carried, leaning his powerful loose hand upon one of the poles, and sometimes glancing down the pit, and sometimes glancing round upon the people, he was not the least conspicuous figure in the scene. ❋ Unknown (2002)

The consultation ended in the men returning to the windlass, and the pitman going down again, carrying the wine and some other small matters with him. ❋ Unknown (2002)

The Old Hell Shaft, the pitman said, with a curse upon it, was worthy of its bad name to the last; for though Stephen could speak now, he believed it would soon be found to have mangled the life out of him. ❋ Unknown (2002)

His curiosity satisfied, the pitman turned back to his stack of tires, and Al returned to his engine. ❋ Lackey, Mercedes (1993)

The Firestone pitman eyed Al's scarlet Nomex jumpsuit and raven hair with amusement. ❋ Lackey, Mercedes (1993)

They were joined soon by Andy Miller, once a service-station man in an Alabama town, but now a pitman in the steel mill. ❋ Harriette Arnow (1954)

The pitman is reciprocated by a simple treadle motion, which will be readily understood by reference to Fig. 1. ❋ Various (N/A)

Perth; according to his account, the Duke of Perth on reaching Biddick, took up his abode with a man named John Armstrong, a collier or pitman. ❋ Mrs. Thomson (N/A)

One end of the saw is connected with a pitman moved by a crank, and receiving its motion from the main axis, by one or two sets of cog wheels. ❋ Various (N/A)

Houghton-le-Spring, in the occupation of a pitman. ❋ Mrs. Thomson (N/A)

It had two driving and supporting wheels, gearing extending rearward with a crank and pitman therefrom to reciprocate the cutters, which were scalloped or projecting blades from a bar and vibrated through slotted guard fingers which held the stalks to be cut. ❋ Various (N/A)

Before the unlucky pitman could rise the whole mob had surged over him, amidst shrieks of laughter. ❋ Herbert Strang (N/A)

The inverted cup, shown in detail in Fig. 3, has its mouth closed with a flexible diaphragm, which is vibrated rapidly by a pitman having a convex end attached by its center to the middle of the diaphragm. ❋ Various (N/A)

A disk crank is used with suitable counterbalance, expressly adapted to the weight and speed of sash; a hammered steel wrist pin five inches in diameter, and a forged pitman of the most approved pattern, with best composition boxes. ❋ Various (N/A)

It entirely dispenses with a pitman rod, and it enables the machine, or the part of the machine operated, to be placed close to the crank. ❋ J. S. Zerbe (N/A)

All eyes, those of the defenders no less than those of the attacking party, were immediately attracted to the new-comer, who was just in the act of seizing the blunderbuss from the grasp of the prostrate and senseless pitman. ❋ Herbert Strang (N/A)

The pitman to the paddle wheel shaft is to starboard of the centerline of the engine; the steam cylinder piston is slightly off center of the frame and crosshead; and the piston of the air cylinder is close to the port engine frame. ❋ Howard Irving Chapelle (N/A)

Because of the use of the crosshead and a connecting rod, pivoted at crosshead, the oscillating rod (or pitman) and piston together equalled twice the stroke plus allowance for stuffing box, crosshead, and pitman bearings. ❋ Howard Irving Chapelle (N/A)

The connecting rod operates a crosshead to which is pivoted a pitman, or oscillating rod, that operates the paddle-wheel crankshaft. ❋ Howard Irving Chapelle (N/A)
