الصفحة 68 - Every one knows how a garment, after having been worn a certain time, clings to the shape of the body better than when it was new ; there has been a change in the tissue, and this change is a new habit of cohesion. A lock works better after being used some time ; at the outset more force was required to overcome certain roughnesses in the mechanism.
