ConicalPendulum Pen"du*lum, n.; pl. Pendulums. [NL., fr. L.
pendulus hanging, swinging. See Pendulous.]
A body so suspended from a fixed point as to swing freely to
and fro by the alternate action of gravity and momentum. It
is used to regulate the movements of clockwork and other
machinery.
Note: The time of oscillation of a pendulum is independent of
the arc of vibration, provided this arc be small.
Ballistic pendulum. See under Ballistic.
Compensation pendulum, a clock pendulum in which the effect
of changes of temperature of the length of the rod is so
counteracted, usually by the opposite expansion of
differene metals, that the distance of the center of
oscillation from the center of suspension remains
invariable; as, the mercurial compensation pendulum, in
which the expansion of the rod is compensated by the
opposite expansion of mercury in a jar constituting the
bob; the gridiron pendulum, in which compensation is
effected by the opposite expansion of sets of rodsof
different metals.
Compound pendulum, an ordinary pendulum; -- so called, as
being made up of different parts, and contrasted with
simple pendulum.
Conical or Revolving, pendulum, a weight connected by a
rod with a fixed point; and revolving in a horizontal

Pendulum wheel, the balance of a watch.
Simple or Theoretical, pendulum, an imaginary pendulum
having no dimensions except length, and no weight except
at the center of oscillation; in other words, a material
point suspended by an ideal line. ConicalConic Con"ic, Conical Con"ic*al, a. [Gr. ?: cf. F. conique.

round and tapering to a point, or gradually lessening in
circumference; as, a conic or conical figure; a conical
vessel.

intersection of the surface of a right cone and a plane.
The conic sections are the parabola, ellipse, and

from certain positions of the plane are sometimes, though
not generally included.

polive, pulley, LL. polanus, and F. poulain, properly, a
colt, fr. L. pullus young animal, foal (cf. Pullet,
Foal). For the change of sense, cf. F. poutre beam,
originally, a filly, and E. easel.] (Mach.)
A wheel with a broad rim, or grooved rim, for transmitting
power from, or imparting power to, the different parts of
machinery, or for changing the direction of motion, by means
of a belt, cord, rope, or chain.
Note: The pulley, as one of the mechanical powers, consists,
in its simplest form, of a grooved wheel, called a
sheave, turning within a movable frame or block, by
means of a cord or rope attached at one end to a fixed
point. The force, acting on the free end of the rope,
is thus doubled, but can move the load through only
half the space traversed by itself. The rope may also
pass over a sheave in another block that is fixed. The
end of the rope may be fastened to the movable block,
instead of a fixed point, with an additional gain of
power, and using either one or two sheaves in the fixed
block. Other sheaves may be added, and the power
multiplied accordingly. Such an apparatus is called by
workmen a block and tackle, or a fall and tackle. See
Block. A single fixed pulley gives no increase of
power, but serves simply for changing the direction of
motion.
Band pulley, or Belt pulley, a pulley with a broad face
for transmitting power between revolving shafts by means
of a belt, or for guiding a belt.
Cone pulley. See Cone pulley.
Conical pulley, one of a pair of belt pulleys, each in the
shape of a truncated cone, for varying velocities.
Fast pulley, a pulley firmly attached upon a shaft.
Loose pulley, a pulley loose on a shaft, to interrupt the
transmission of motion in machinery. See Fast and loose
pulleys, under Fast.
Parting pulley, a belt pulley made in semicircular halves,
which can be bolted together, to facilitate application
to, or removal from, a shaft.
Pulley block. Same as Block, n. 6.
Pulley stile (Arch.), the upright of the window frame into
which a pulley is fixed and along which the sash slides.
Split pulley, a parting pulley. Conical surfaceConic Con"ic, Conical Con"ic*al, a. [Gr. ?: cf. F. conique.
