From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Cascade system \Cascade system\ (Elec.) A system or method of connecting and operating two induction motors so that the primary circuit of one is connected to the secondary circuit of the other, the primary circuit of the latter being connected to the source of supply; also, a system of electric traction in which motors so connected are employed. The cascade system is also called {tandem, [or] concatenated}, {system}; the connection a {cascade, tandem, [or] concatenated}, {connection}, or {a concatenation}; and the control of the motors so obtained a {tandem, [or] concatenation}, {control}. Note: In the cascade system of traction the cascade connection is used for starting and for low speeds up to half speed. For full speed the short-circuited motor is cut loose from the other motor and is either left idle or (commonly) connected direct to the line.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
control (Or "ctrl", "^") One (or a pair) of {modifier keys} found on all modern {keyboards}. If the control key is held down while pressing and releasing certain other keys then a "{control character}" is generated, e.g. holding control and hitting "A" generates control-A ({ASCII} code 1). The ASCII code for the control character is generally 64 less than that for the unmodified character. The control key does not generate any character on its own but most modern keyboards and {operating systems} allow a program to tell whether each of the individual keys on the keyboard (including modifier keys) is pressed at any time. Control characters mostly have some kind of "non-printing" effect on the output such as ringing the bell (Control-G) or advancing to the next line (Control-J). Most have alternative names suggesting these functions (Bell, Line Feed, etc.). See {ASCII character table}. (1997-07-10)
