Example Sentences

"Provision should be made as in GL 1 for entry of electrical supplies and for connection of telephone and magslip cables."
"There are two gyroscopes. One is a vertical keeping gyroscope whose signal goes through two selective transmitter magslips to a follow through magslip which is similarly operated by a rolling velocity gyroscope. The combined selected signal is transmitted to the hunter magslip of the oil motor and pump. The mechanical movement of a gyroscope alters the rotor position of the transmitter magslip and the current flow moves the rotor of the hunter magslip to a corresponding positon (just as transmitter and receiver telemotors)."
"With a single magslip as the transmitter and another as the receiver, the error of alignment is of the order of 1°."
