Manograph \Man"o*graph\, n. [Gr. [?] thin, rare + -graph: cf. F.       manographe.] (Engin.)       An optical device for making an indicator diagram for       high-speed engines.

The mirror is pivoted so that it can be       moved in one direction by a small plunger operated by an       elastic metal diaphragm which closes a tube connected with       the engine cylinder. It is also moved at right angles to this       direction by a reducing motion, called a reproducer, so as to       copy accurately on a smaller scale the motion of the engine       piston. The resultant of these two movements imparts to the       reflected beam of light a motion similar to that of the       pencil of the ordinary indicator, and this can be traced on       the sheet of ground glass, or photographed.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
monochrome          Literally "one colour".   Usually used for a black       and white (or sometimes green or orange) {monitor} as distinct       from a color monitor.   Normally, each {pixel} on the display       will correspond to a single bit of {display memory} and will       therefore be one of two intensities.   A {grey-scale} display       requires several bits per {pixel} but might still be called       monochrome.          Compare: {bitonal}.          (1994-11-24)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Manger       (Luke 2:7, 12, 16), the name (Gr. phatne, rendered "stall" in       Luke 13:15) given to the place where the infant Redeemer was       laid. It seems to have been a stall or crib for feeding cattle.       Stables and mangers in our modern sense were in ancient times       unknown in the East. The word here properly denotes "the ledge       or projection in the end of the room used as a stall on which       the hay or other food of the animals of travellers was placed."       (See {INN}.)
