Itinerate :: Itinerate (v. i.) To wander without a settled habitation; to travel from place or on a circuit, particularly for the purpose of preaching, lecturing, etc..

Tasimer :: Tasimer (n.) An instrument for detecting or measuring minute extension or movements of solid bodies. It consists essentially of a small rod, disk, or button of carbon, forming part of an electrical circuit, the resistance of which, being varied by the changes of pressure produced by the movements of the object to be measured, causes variations in the strength of the current, which variations are indicated by a sensitive galvanometer. It is also used for measuring minute changes of temperature..

Eyre :: Eyre (n.) A journey in circuit of certain judges called justices in eyre (or in itinere).

Windlass :: Windlass (n.) A winding and circuitous way; a roundabout course; a shift.

Circumferential :: Circumferential (a.) Pertaining to the circumference; encompassing; encircling; circuitous.

Shunt :: Shunt (v. t.) A conducting circuit joining two points in a conductor, or the terminals of a galvanometer or dynamo, so as to form a parallel or derived circuit through which a portion of the current may pass, for the purpose of regulating the amount passing in the main circuit..

Indirect :: Indirect (a.) Not direct; not straight or rectilinear; deviating from a direct line or course; circuitous; as, an indirect road..

Electro-thermancy :: Electro-thermancy (n.) That branch of electrical science which treats of the effect of an electric current upon the temperature of a conductor, or a part of a circuit composed of two different metals..

Double :: Double (n.) A turn or circuit in running to escape pursues; hence, a trick; a shift; an artifice..

Telethermometer :: Telethermometer (n.) An apparatus for determining the temperature of a distant point, as by a thermoelectric circuit or otherwise..

Rheochord :: Rheochord (n.) A metallic wire used for regulating the resistance of a circuit, or varying the strength of an electric current, by inserting a greater or less length of it in the circuit..

About :: About (adv.) In circuit; circularly; by a circuitous way; around the outside; as, a mile about, and a third of a mile across..

Switched :: Switch (n.) A mechanical device for shifting an electric current to another circuit.

Chapel :: Chapel (v. t.) To cause (a ship taken aback in a light breeze) so to turn or make a circuit as to recover, without bracing the yards, the same tack on which she had been sailing..

Henry :: Henry (n.) The unit of electric induction; the induction in a circuit when the electro-motive force induced in this circuit is one volt, while the inducing current varies at the rate of one ampere a second..

Circuit :: Circuit (n.) That which encircles anything, as a ring or crown..

Cut-out :: Cut-out (n.) A device for breaking or separating a portion of circuit.

Errant :: Errant (a.) Journeying; itinerant; -- formerly applied to judges who went on circuit and to bailiffs at large.
