Aerodynamics :: Aerodynamics (n.) The science which treats of the air and other gaseous bodies under the action of force, and of their mechanical effects..

Chirogymnast :: Chirogymnast (n.) A mechanical contrivance for exercising the fingers of a pianist.

Disintegrate :: Disintegrate (v. t.) To separate into integrant parts; to reduce to fragments or to powder; to break up, or cause to fall to pieces, as a rock, by blows of a hammer, frost, rain, and other mechanical or atmospheric influences..

An instrument for the mechanical registration and reproduction of audible sounds, as articulate speech, etc. It consists of a rotating cylinder or disk covered with some material easily indented, as tinfoil, wax, paraffin, etc., above which is a thin plate carrying a stylus. As the plate vibrates under the influence of a sound, the stylus makes minute indentations or undulations in the soft material, and these, when the cylinder or disk is again turned, set the plate in vibration
