sole piece (solpes)

In mining, the lower part of a set or durnz. See the quotation under set1, n., 13 (b). sole-plate (sol' plāt), n. 1. In mach., a bedplate: as, the sole - plate of an engine.-2. In a water-wheel, the back part of a bucket. It is often formed by a continuous cylinder concentric with the axis of the wheel, and having the buckets built upon it. E. H. Knight. Also called lobe - plate . solenoid (sō-lē'noid), n . [ σωληνοειδής , pipe- shaped, grooved, σωλήν , a channel, pipe, + εἶδος, form.] A helix of copper or other consolert, n. A Middle English form of sollar . Solenoid. ducting See reflex. wound in the soleret, n. See solleret . form of a cylinsolertt (sol'ért), a. [L. sollers , le correctly der so as to be solers (-ert-), skilful, clever, crafty, nearly equivaall (see sole3 ), + ar (t-)s, art, craft: see art2 .] lent to a number of equal and parallel circular circuits arranged upon a common axis. The ends of the wire are brought to the middle point, and when a current is pa ed through the circuit the solenoid behaves, as far as external action is concerned, like a long and thin bar magnet. For this reason, such a magnet is called a solenoidal magnet; and Ampère's theory of magnetism is based on the a umption that magnets and solenoidal systems of currents are fundamentally ly identitie solenoid is an infinitely thin bar of any form longitudinally magnetized with an intensity varying inversely as the area of the normal section [that is, the cro -section perpendicular to the length) in different parts.
