Itinerant :: Itinerant (a.) Passing or traveling about a country; going or preaching on a circuit; wandering; not settled; as, an itinerant preacher; an itinerant peddler..

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..

Tourist :: Tourist (n.) One who makes a tour, or performs a journey in a circuit..

Reel :: Reel (n.) A machine on which yarn is wound and measured into lays and hanks, -- for cotton or linen it is fifty-four inches in circuit; for worsted, thirty inches..

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

Parish :: Parish (n.) That circuit of ground committed to the charge of one parson or vicar, or other minister having cure of souls therein..

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..

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

Short Circuit :: Short circuit () A circuit formed or closed by a conductor of relatively low resistance because shorter or of relatively great conductivity.

Baseball :: Baseball (n.) A game of ball, so called from the bases or bounds ( four in number) which designate the circuit which each player must endeavor to make after striking the ball..

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..

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

Electro-motion :: Electro-motion (n.) The motion of electricity or its passage from one metal to another in a voltaic circuit; mechanical action produced by means of electricity.

Armature :: Armature (n.) A piece of soft iron used to connect the two poles of a magnet, or electro-magnet, in order to complete the circuit, or to receive and apply the magnetic force. In the ordinary horseshoe magnet, it serves to prevent the dissipation of the magnetic force..

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..

Winding :: Winding (a.) Twisting from a direct line or an even surface; circuitous.

Circuition :: Circuition (n.) The act of going round; circumlocution.

Relay :: Relay (n.) 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..

Break :: Break (v. t.) An opening or displacement in the circuit, interrupting the electrical current..

Yearly :: Yearly (a.) Accomplished in a year; as, the yearly circuit, or revolution, of the earth..
