An electromechanical switch that uses a small amount of incoming electricity to charge an electromagnet, which physically pulls down a connecting switch to complete a circuit This allows a low-power circuit to divert the electricity in a high-power circuit
A device having two separate circuits, it is constructed so that a small current in one of the circuits controls a large current in the other circuit A motor starting relay opens or closes the starting circuit under predetermined electrical conditions in the main circuit (run winding)
An electromechanical switch or device in which changes in the current flow in one circuit are used to open or close electrical contacts in a second circuit
Relating to, or having the characteristics of, an auxiliary apparatus put into action by a feeble force but itself capable of exerting greater force, used to control a comparatively powerful machine or appliance
These electronic components control other devices in a circuit A set of contacts, the switching mechanism, open or close when the relays magnetic coil becomes energized Resistance The opposition to current flow through a conductor in a closed circuit
In various forms of telegraphic apparatus, a magnet which receives the circuit current, and is caused by it to bring into into action the power of a local battery for performing the work of making the record; also, a similar device by which the current in one circuit is made to open or close another circuit in which a current is passing
A device have two separate circuits, it is constructed so that a small current in one of the circuits controls a large current in the other circuit A motor starting relay opens or closes the starting circuit under predetermined electrical conditions in the main circuit (run winding)
This is the story of the softships of the Third American Army. For the Yankee troops who were assigned to take and hold the Coblenz bridgehead are leading the life of Riley on the Rhine.
born Oct. 7, 1849, Greenfield, Ind., U.S. died July 22, 1916, Indianapolis, Ind. U.S. poet. He came into touch with the populace of rural Indiana through his early work experiences. His verse contributions to the Indianapolis Daily Journal, written in Hoosier dialect ostensibly by a farmer, established his reputation as "the poet of the common people." His best-known poems include "When the Frost Is on the Punkin" and "The Raggedy Man." Among his many collections are The Old Swimmin' Hole (1883), Pipes o' Pan at Zekesbury (1888), and Home Folks (1900)
born March 14, 1854, North Manchester, Ind., U.S. died June 1, 1925, Washington, D.C. U.S. politician. As governor of Indiana (1909-13) he sponsored a broad program of social legislation. In 1912 he was elected vice president on a ticket with Woodrow Wilson. He became the first vice president in nearly 100 years to serve two terms (1913-21). When Wilson suffered a stroke that partially paralyzed him in 1919, Marshall refused to assume the powers of the presidency without a congressional resolution and written requests from first lady Edith Wilson and the president's doctor. A popular public official, he was heard to remark during a tedious debate, "What this country needs is a really good five-cent cigar
