The external style have the serrations around the outer diameter, which provides better holding power, because of the greater circumference.

The Pyncheon Elm, throughout its great circumference, was all alive, and full of the morning sun and a sweet-tempered little breeze, which lingered within this verdant sphere, and set a thousand leafy tongues a-whispering all at once.

Because outer zones have a greater circumference than inner zones, they are allocated more sectors.

Towards the rim, distribution of this same force over a greater circumference and metal cross-section thus required less folding and their profile became a gentle wave.

Shooting to the east follows the rotation of Earth, and launching relatively close to the Equator gives a speed boost to orbit, a kind of running start derived from the greater circumference of the globe toward its midpoint.

More of the spiraling windows which ran around its great circumference became visible.

Basically, the paradox says that when a disk (or any circular object in general) is rotated, it will have a greater circumference than 2πr, because the radius will remain the same, but the circumference is shortened due to the Lorentz contraction.

To rectify that would probably require a room of greater circumference, Mr. Segers said, and there's no way to make a circular building bigger.

The full circle that Mr. McDonald has come had considerably greater circumference.

Above the point at which the Spindle disappeared into the wall, through a metal-lined hole, there was a small wheel, its circumference no greater than that of a cup.
