Engine Timing

Famous quotes containing the words engine and/or timing:

    Industrial man—a sentient reciprocating engine having a fluctuating output, coupled to an iron wheel revolving with uniform velocity. And then we wonder why this should be the golden age of revolution and mental derangement.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    Is it a new spring star
    Within the timing chill,
    Talking, or just a mime,
    That rises in the blood
    Thin Jack-and-Jilling seas
    Without the human will?
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
