The peg on which the ball is placed or the first shot [or tee shot] at a hole.

  • Doors, Windows and Openings (Building Elements)
DEF

A window consisting of vertically sliding sash which utilizes counterbalancing devices to allow the sash to be opened to any variable position between its fully open and fully closed limits.

Historically, in a guillotine window a peg was inserted through a hole in the movable sash and into a corresponding hole in the frame in order to block the open sash into place. As for the hung window, it used counterweights or a balancing system. Now, these differences tend to faze and the terms are used interchangeably.

Record 4 2006-06-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Tools and Equipment
  • Gemmology
CONT

... you can see the basic set up of a traditional jamb peg faceter. The spinning lap provides the grinding and polishing surface, the wooden "dop" sticks to which the rough is adhered, serve to hold the stone in position as various cuts are made. The angle of the cut is controlled by placing the dop stick in a particular hole, the depth of cut is controlled by the amount of time the piece spends in contact with the lap and how hard the facetor presses down on it, and the radial position is controlled by removing, slightly rotating, and reinserting the dop stick in its hole as each different cut is made. Most stones that are cut on such equipment are referred to as "native cut. "

CONT

Although modern highly engineered faceting machines have replaced jamb pegs in much of the world, these older systems are still widely used, and a substantial proportion of the gems in commerce today have been cut by them.
