How Do You Measure A W Bins Horns Length

OMNIFEX · 26th September 2004, 09:18 PM

Hi.

I always wondered how do you measure a W Bin's horn
length, considering, the horn is split into two paths.

Thanks

The length is what you'd expect from measuring one side. It's the cross sectional area that's changed when you bifurcate (split in two) the horn.

bifurcate--I like that word :-)

Then try this one:
Orogeny
(go look it up--I ain't telling)

When bifurcating a horn wouldn't you always want to split it equally? If so, then "split in half" would be a better description than an uncommon word like bifurcate. I do, however, agree with Nappylady. It's a nice word and I'll be sure to use it the next chance I get. Do you have any more that are audio related?

Thankyou GRollins.

It's the uncommon words that separate the best from the rest. Besides, it's fun knowing terms like that. Math-related terms are over-used by those who try to intimidate folks. I like to give the non-math words a chance to strut their stuff. You don't have to use them--'split in half' will express things nicely--but it's still fun to tuck neat words away in the back of your mind.
Bifurcate, incidentally, isn't necessarily audio related. I made an earnest attempt to bifurcate my thumb about ten years ago with a wood chisel. Fortunately, I failed. My thumb has (mostly) forgiven me and life goes on.
Check out the word sesquipedalian. Useful for describing people who use non-trivial words.

I can't be the only one to have used bifurcated rivets (those ones with 'legs' which can be splayed - often used to hold on maker' name badges, etc.).

I understood that bifurcate wasn't restricted to audio. I hoped for some other nice words that might be useful on these forums. It's best for me to use a word to add it too my vocabulary.

I wouldn't really consider bifurcate a sesquipedalian, just a good word not commonly used. Sesquipedalian definitely is one. How about another good word that isn't sesquipedalian?
