in it above and below the knees and elbows, and the
executioner struck eight blows with an iron bar, so as
to break the limbs in those places, sometimes finishing
by two or three blows on the chest or stomach, which
usually put an end to the life of the criminal, and
were hence called coups-de-grace -- blows of mercy. The
criminal was then unbound, and laid on a small wheel,
with his face upward, and his arms and legs doubled
under him, there to expire, if he had survived the
previous treatment. --Brande.

within delta of
(foldoc)
delta
within delta of

1. A quantitative change, especially a small or incremental
one (this use is general in physics and engineering). "I just
doubled the speed of my program!" "What was the delta on
program size?" "About 30 percent." (He doubled the speed of

of version-control tools called SCCS (Source Code Control
System) or RCS (Revision Control System). See {change

3. A small quantity, but not as small as epsilon. The
jargon usage of delta and epsilon stems from the
traditional use of these letters in mathematics for very small
numerical quantities, particularly in "epsilon-delta" proofs
in limit theory (as in the differential calculus). The term
delta is often used, once epsilon has been mentioned, to
mean a quantity that is slightly bigger than epsilon but
still very small. "The cost isn't epsilon, but it's delta"
means that the cost isn't totally negligible, but it is
nevertheless very small. Common constructions include "within
