Definitions

Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia

  1. n. A tool for making dots; specifically, a small instrument, made in various forms, used in graining for imitating the eyes of bird's-eye maple.
  2. n. In naval use, an apparatus used to train gun-pointers to aim accurately at a target. The apparatus carries a miniature target close to the muzzle of the gun. The target is given a vertical oscillating motion to imitate the effect of the rolling of a vessel at sea; the pointer follows the motion of the target with his gun by means of the gun-sight, and when he judges he is aiming at the center of the target he presses a firing-key as he would in actually firing the gun. The electric apparatus worked by the firing-key makes a dot at the point on the target at which he was actually aiming when he pressed the firing-key.
