Particularly, in addition to the difficulty of making a perfectly conical shape for smaller feelers, the influence of surface unevenness on the feelers' dimensions increases.
If combined normal and shearing forces are applied to the sensing surface, the conical feelers make contact with the acrylic board and are subjected to compressive and shearing deformation.
I beg you, when this is all over, unless you have got a real winner, not to be tempted by any more of these feelers.
Work is well advanced on preliminary budgets and, even now, feelers are being put out for an early meeting.
Perhaps the feelers have not yet been put out to find how many are ready to go.
Already feelers are being put out by companies which have very recently been formed to acquire properties for the purpose of development.
By having so many feelers in the local area, there is an ability to understand quickly and sensitively what is happening.
He did use the term "feelers," and he did not-like peace being approached in that way.
