turning pair
(gcide) | Pair \Pair\ (p[^a]r), n. [F. paire, LL. paria, L. paria, pl. of

6. Two members of opposite parties or opinion, as in a
parliamentary body, who mutually agree not to vote on a
given question (in order, for example, to allow the
members to be absent during the vote without affecting the
outcome of the vote), or on issues of a party nature
during a specified time; as, there were two pairs on the
final vote. [Parliamentary Cant]
Note: A member who is thus paired with one who would have
voted oppositely is said to be paired for or paired
against a measure, depending on the member's position.

7. (Kinematics) In a mechanism, two elements, or bodies,
which are so applied to each other as to mutually

they permit; thus, a journal and its bearing form a
turning pair, a cylinder and its piston a {sliding
pair}, a screw and its nut a twisting pair, etc. Any
pair in which the constraining contact is along lines
or at points only (as a cam and roller acting
together), is designated a higher pair; any pair
having constraining surfaces which fit each other (as a
cylindrical pin and eye, a screw and its nut, etc.), is
called a lower pair.
[1913 Webster]
Pair royal (pl. Pairs Royal) three things of a sort; --

in my own hand." --Goldsmith. "That great pair royal of
adamantine sisters [the Fates]." --Quarles. [Written
corruptly parial and prial.]

Syn: Pair, Flight, Set.
Usage: Originally, pair was not confined to two things, but
was applied to any number of equal things (pares),
that go together. Ben Jonson speaks of a pair (set) of
chessmen; also, he and Lord Bacon speak of a pair
(pack) of cards. A "pair of stairs" is still in
popular use, as well as the later expression, "flight
of stairs."
