Hanks
|
- Rings or clips used to attach sails to stays.
- Hoops or rings of rope, wood, or iron, fixed upon the stays, to seize the luff of fore-and-aft sails, and to confine the staysails thereto, at different distances. those of wood are used in lieu of grommets, being much more convenient, and of a later invention. they are framed by the bending of a rough piece of wood into the form of a wreath, and fastened at the two ends by means of notches, thereby retaining their circular figure and elasticity; whereas the grommets which are formed of rope are apt to relax in warm weather, and adhere to the stays, so as to prevent the sails from being readily hoisted or lowered.—iron hanks are more generally used now that stays are made of wire.—hank is also a skein of line or twine.— getting into a hank, irritated by jokes.

Convenient, английский
Elasticity, английский
- Usually used to explain consumer demand in response to changes in prices. demand for basic goods such as bread is thought to be inelastic since the amount of bread bought changes little with price. if the price goes up, people have little choice but to pay it, but if it goes down they are unlikely to eat more bread. by comparison, luxury goods are price elastic. if the price of chauffeur-driven trips to work becomes too expensive, executives may switch to black cabs, or even the train.
- Упругость
- The property of a body that causes it to tend to return to its original shape after deformation (as stretching, compression, or torsion).
- The ability to expand and be compressed and to return to the former shape
- Способность к быстрой адаптации
- Упругость, эластичность bulk ~ объёмная упругость
- The ability of a strained material to recover its original size and shape immediately after removal of the stress that causes deformation.
- Responsiveness; the degree to which one variable (e.g., quantity demanded) is responsive to a change in another (e.g., price).
- The capability of a material to regain its original shape or
- Эластичность (цен, спроса, предложения)
- That property of a material by virtue of which it tends to recover its original size and shape after deformation. electrical noise
- Ability of a material to resume its former shape after deformation.
- Ability of a material to resume its former shape after deformation.1
- Ability of a material to regain its former shape after removal of applied stress. see also ductility.

Sheet, английский
- Ropes that control the sail position.
- Лист; слой
- A rope used to control the setting of a sail in relation to the direction of the wind.
- Шкот (трос для управления парусами), лист,
- A large piece of cloth which is put on a bed the sheets must be changed each day. the soiled sheets were sent to the hospital laundry. draw-sheet
- Шкот - снасть бегучего такелажа, оттягивающая подветренную часть паруса или рангоутного дерева
- Простыня
- A line used to control a sail by pulling it in creasing it out.
- Шкот; выбирать шкот
- A rope or chain fastened to one or both the lower corners of a sail, to extend and retain the clue down to its place. when a ship sails with a side wind, the lower corners of the main and fore sails are fastened by a tack and a sheet, the former being to windward, and the latter to leeward; the tack is, however, only disused with a stern wind, whereas the sail is never spread without the assistance of one or both of the sheets; the staysails and studding-sails have only one tack and one sheet each; the staysail-tacks are fastened forward, and the sheets drawn aft; but the studding-sail tacks draw to the extremity of the boom, while the sheet is employed to extend the inner corner.
- A line attached to the corner of a sail and used to control its position.
- Лист, листовой материал
- A line used to control a sail’s trim. the sheets are named after the sail, as in jib sheet and mainsheet.
- A flat-rolled metal product of some maximum thickness and minimum width arbitrarily dependent on the type of metal. it is thinner than plate.
Reefing, английский
Reducing the amount of sail area.
