The city has made so many colossal blunders, including having a major bridge sunk in 1990 when someone accidental left the stopcocks open (that bridge, ironically, had been named after the State Highway director on whose watch was built the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, which tore itself apart famously). ❋ Unknown (2005)
These were connected by means of pipes furnished with stopcocks. ❋ Unknown (2003)
Ross furnished copper kettles, a few stopcocks and valves, copper pipe and vats made from barrels sawn in half. ❋ Colleen McCullough (2000)
Instead of using the sinks in the house, they'd had the cooper make them two half-barrels on legs, with stopcocks as in a wine barrel in the bottoms for drain holes. ❋ Lackey, Mercedes (1998)
I helped her close all the stopcocks I could find and made sure she had switched off her water heaters, and in return she let me use her telephone to look for another roof. ❋ Francis, Dick (1990)
It knelt beside the three 0-tanks which had been tied beneath the buggy with the borrowed nylon line, and it opened the stopcocks of each in turn. ❋ Niven, Larry (1975)
All afternoon the two girls wandered up and down woodland paths between thickets of rhododendrons in bloom, each with a label, with water piped underneath each woodland path projecting in stopcocks here and there for watering the specimens. ❋ Shute, Nevil, 1899-1960 (1955)
Sprengel pump, without stopcocks or grease, is, when in action, about 80 times as great as in the form used by me. ❋ Various (N/A)
The lowest part of this casing is supplied with combustible gas and with air, in proportions capable of being regulated by stopcocks or valves. ❋ Various (N/A)
If the arrangement of holes is not repeated identically twelve times on the same circle, we cannot, of course, make use of the above arrangements of holes of the wind tube, and we must then employ one of the movable brass tubes, which communicate with the interior of the wind chest by means of rubber tubes and stopcocks. ❋ Various (N/A)
The apparatus is filled by placing the lower end of the main tube under water, closing the tubes, f and i (with caoutchouc tubing and clips), and opening the stopcocks, a and d. ❋ Various (N/A)
At first the chlorine dissolves in the water, but soon the water in the one tube becomes saturated with it, and if the stopcocks are left open until this is the case, and are then closed, it will be seen that the two gases are set free in equal volumes. ❋ William McPherson (N/A)
A row of strong lights should also be placed on each side of the stage, within three feet of the ceiling; these also should have reflectors and separate stopcocks, for the purpose of casting the proper lights and shades on the stage. ❋ James H. Head (N/A)
The levels of the two liquids are then brought to the zero marks of the burettes by means of the stopcocks. ❋ William McPherson (N/A)
The stopcocks at the ends of these tubes are opened and water, to which has been added about one tenth of its volume of sulphuric acid, is poured into the tube A until the side tubes B and D are completely filled. ❋ William McPherson (N/A)
The pump is simple in construction, inexpensive, and, as I have proved by a large number of experiments, certain in action and easy of use; stopcocks and grease are dispensed with, and when the presence of a stopcock is really desirable its place is supplied by a movable column of mercury. ❋ Various (N/A)
_ -- I made a series of experiments with a plain Sprengel pump without stopcocks, and arranged, as far as possible, like the instrument just described. ❋ Various (N/A)
The two ends of the main tube are governed by the stopcocks, a and d, and the greater length of the tube is graduated. ❋ Various (N/A)
