Index Entry
“… One thing very clear about compression and nad tension, in the first place they are never innocent of each other. If I pull a rope,its girth contracts, it is going under compression at 90 degrees. If I load a cigar, it tries to bow outwardly … as I load it. So … this girth is expanding; therefore it is getting higher tension. Tension and compression always operate at precision of right angles to one another and we simply have one at high tide and one at low tide of aspects of conceptuality.”
