A person who is employed to collect payments (as for rent or taxes)

Usage examples of accumulator.

Stevens connected up the enormous fixed or dirigible projectors to whatever accumulator cells were available through sensitive relays, all of which he could close by means of one radio impulse.

Most of the masses, whose projectors were fed by comparatively few accumulator cells, darted away entire with a stupendous acceleration.

While the stream of power now flowing was ample to operate the lookout plates, yet it would be many hours before the accumulator cells would be in condition to drive the craft even that short distance.

Wielding torch, pliers, and spanner with practiced hand, she repaired or cut out of circuit the damaged accumulator cells and reunited the ends of each severed power lead.

Vorkulian wall-screen generators, absorbers, and dissipators was installed, with sufficient accumulator capacity for their operation.

When they leaked the salt water was apt to affect the accumulators and chlorine gas was released to torment and suffocate the crews.

But to get going again, the receptors receive the beam and from them the power is sent to the accumulators, where it is stored.

From the accumulators, then, the power is fed to the converters, each of which is backed by a projector.

She has too many batteries of accumulators, too many life-boats, too many bulkheads and airbreaks, too many and too much of everything.

If so, and if enough batteries of accumulators are left intact to give them anywhere nearly full power, we can get an acceleration that will make a lifeboat look sick.

Stevens had read his meters, learning with satisfaction that the full current was still flowing into the accumulators, he began to cut up the meat.

Nadia brought in meat and vegetables and stored them away, Stevens attacked the problem of constructing the pair of tight-beam, auto-dirigible transmitter and receptor units which would connect his great turbo-alternator to the accumulators of their craft, wherever it might be in space.

They do not use accumulators, and therefore their dissipation is limited to their maximum reception, which is about seventy thousand kilofranks.

Out of sight underneath the pier were the cogwheels and accumulator tanks that helped operate the bascule on this side of the river.

All I got out of it was where to find an ashpan drop-bottom, steam accumulators and why they are still used, and the ability to recognize a three-cylinder locomotive by sound alone.
