	Mechanical Lever Machines
		On mechanical lever voting machines, the name of each candidate or ballot issue choice is assigned a particular lever in a rectangular array of levers on the front of the machine.
		By 1930, lever machines had been installed in virtually every major city in the United States, and by the 1960’s well over half of the Nation’s votes were being cast on these machines.
		Mechanical lever machines were used by 20.7% of registered voters in the United States as of the 1996 Presidential election.

		LEVER: The lever is a simple machine made with a bar free to move about a fixed point called a fulcrum.
		A first class lever is like a teeter-totter or see-saw.
		Draw each type of lever, by using the items above, label the fulcrum, effort, and object to be moved (or force).

	Dirtmeister: Simple Machines -- Lever
		In its simplest form, a lever is a stick that is free to pivot or move back and forth at a certain point.
		Levers are probably the most common simple machine because just about anything that has a handle on it has a lever attached.
		The point on which the lever moves is called the fulcrum.

	Lever - MSN Encarta
		Levers affect the effort, or force, needed to do a certain amount of work, and are used to lift heavy objects.
		To move an object with a lever, force is applied to one end of the lever, and the object to be moved (referred to as the resistance or load) is usually located at the other end of the lever, with the fulcrum somewhere between the two.
		The MA of a lever is the ratio of the distance the force travels to the distance the load travels.

	lever. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The lever is used for prying, as in the case of the crowbar, or for lifting.
		Levers in which the fulcrum is located between the effort and the resistance, as in the crowbar and the beam balance, are known as first-class levers.
		The human forearm is an application of the third-class lever, the elbow acting as the fulcrum, the weight held in the hand and being lifted as the resistance, and the pull of the muscles between the elbow and the hand as the effort.

		The first levers were probably branches or logs used to lift heavy objects, followed by sticks used to till soil for planting crops.
		The principle of the lever was often utilized through the rotary motion of the wheel and axle.
		The keys of a piano use levers to transmit force from the keys to the hammers that strike the strings.

	Lever Summary
		It should be noted that levers exist where the fulcrum rests beyond the load (e.g., the wheelbarrow, with the wheel serving as a fulcrum) or beyond the effort (in the case of tongs, with the elbow joint serving as a fulcrum).
		In a second-class lever the input is located to the far side of the bar, the output is located in the middle of the bar, and the fulcrum is located on the side of the bar opposite to the input.
		A mnemonic for remembering the three classes of levers is the word flex, where the letters f-l-e represent the fulcrum, the load, and the effort as being between the other two, in the first-class lever, the second-class lever, and the third-class lever respectively.

	lever
		The classic lever gun is a sliding breech, locked action, center fire rifle with a tubular magazine, and an exposed hammer which is cocked by the overriding bolt as the lever is cycled.
		The lever action, as it is known today, was first embodied in the model 66, made famous in the model 73, and completely refined in models 92, and 94.
		While the lever gun was outclassed by the bolt action's virtues of strength, and durability, the bolt guns played little part in the continuing advance of firearms design, remaining much the same today as they were at their introduction.

		For instance to lift a certain unit of weight with a lever with an effort of half a unit we need a distance from the fulcrum in the effort's side to be twice the distance of the weight's side.
		A first-class lever is a lever in which the fulcrum is located in between the input force and the output force.
