Odometer's initial reading

Usage examples of zero.

The resistance to acceleration must be tremendous, for the accelerometer needle registered zero.

In despair, she saw the clock tick down to zero, watching as Rennell resisted acknowledging his incapacity.

The Marines at Ewa saw a Dauntless which was probably his, in a twisting, swirling, low altitude mix-up with two or three Zeros, fixed and free guns all firing at once.

It was agreed that Gray would keep his Wildcats high to preserve the altitude advantage he needed against the agile Zeros, and, at the same time, provide protection for the dive bombers.

Even as they watched, both the azimuth and elevation needles crept slowly toward zero error, while range shortened to three miles.

They were walking along, Zero and Bowler and Angie and Cisco, looking for a way out of the sticky-hot Manhattan night and into something sufficiently distracting.

Zero and Cisco and Bowler and Angie and the others sank quickly into sticky white stuff, sank up to their chins.

He smiled at Zero and Bowler as they sat directly across from him to the right of the door.

Zero and Bowler stepped out into the courtyard and paused to look around.

Looking hastily away, Zero followed Bowler across the courtyard to the weapons rack.

Zero looked at Bowler, who nodded gravely as he bit into a pear himself.

Of course, Alfred would sense when Cai was there, and would suddenly zero in on him with his laser-like blue eyes, firing this question or that, ready for debate.

Henceforth this year would creep toward its low mark ever more slowly, pausing at the zero of solstice, obliquely peering through a certain slit at Stonehenge, and returning dumbly north, climbing the spine of the west, from the caude of Tierra del Fuego up the flex of Cordilleras, ending here, at what would be the nape of the Brooks range, the archaic brainstem of the planet, where, eons ago, a landbridge had offered passage to migrants from the east.

Deep in its guts it creates coherent atom beams, from a bunch of Bose-Einstein condensates hovering on the edge of absolute zero: by superimposing interference patterns on them, it generates an atomic hologram, building a perfect replica of some original artifact, right down to the atomic level there are no clunky moving nanotechnology parts to break or overheat or mutate.

Room 40 knew from its analyses that 0075 was one of a series of two-part codes that the German Foreign Office designated by two zeros and two digits, the two digits always showing an arithmetical difference of 2.
