Excerpt from Lightning Flashes and Electric Dashes: A Volume of Choice Telegraphic Literature, Humor, Fun, Wit and Wisdom; Contributed to by All the Principal Writers in the Ranks of Telegraphic Literature, as Well as Several Well-Known OutsidersTo the many thousands scattered over the entire country who are engaged or interested in the wonderful art of telegraphy, this book will probably need neither preface nor apology. To the general reader, however, into whose hand it may fall, it might be well to say that the telegraph business of late years has made such rapid progress, and the number of its votaries become so great, that the art seems to demand a literature of its own. The object of this volume is to present articles from each of the principal telegraphic writers, with a few on telegraphic subjects from well-known outsiders. While the primary object has been to make the book of especial interest to telegraphers, an endeavor has been made to avoid all technical terms and expressions not understood by those unconnected with the business. For this reason it is hoped that the book will be welcomed not only by telegraphers themselves, but also find friends among the great outside world as well.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book, "How to cruise timber adapted for experienced cruisers, loggers, foresters, claimants, or for any one desiring to learn to estimate timber. Talbot collection of British pamphlets", by John William Shaw, is a replication of a book originally published before 1910. It has been restored by human beings, page by page, so that you may enjoy it in a form as close to the original as possible. This book was created using print-on-demand technology. Thank you for supporting classic literature.

The conditions at the ends are that when x = 0, My + /iy= Tl dv (2). when x = l, Mij + fiy =-Tj which give a _/S tanml--a_fi--Mam 0-atimrnl + (3--mT W' two equations, sufficient to determine m, and the ratio of /3 to a. Eliminating the latter ratio, we find tan ml = t (4), Equation (3) has an infinite number of roots, which may be found by writing tan 6 for v, so that tan ml = tan 26, and the result of adding together all the corresponding particular solutions, each with its two arbitrary constants a and e, is necessarily the most general solution of which the problem is capable, and is therefore adequate to represent the motion due to an arbitrary initial distribution of displacement and velocity. We infer that any function of x may be expanded between x = 0 and x = I in a series of terms (i/jSinm + cosro) + ff2 (v% sin rajc + cos m%x) + (5), mv mv &c. being the roots of (3) and vt, vv &c.the corresponding values of v. The quantities $v ft, &c. are the normal co-ordinates of the system. From the symmetry of the system it follows that in each normal vibration the value of y is numerically the same at points equally distant from the middle of the string, for example, at the two ends, where x = 0 and x = I. Hence vt sin mj, + cos mtl = + 1, as may be proved also from (4). The kinetic energy T of the whole motion is made up of the energy of the string, and that of the masses M. Thus T= p 2 j (v sin mx + cos mx)f dx Jo + iMf1 + f1+...Y + iM1(v1smm1l + cosmir)+...2. But by the characteristic property of normal co-ordinates, terms containing their products cannot be really present in the expressi...
