Poundage in a sentence as a noun

There's also some leeway with poundage. You can screw the limb bolts in or out to increase or decrease the poundage.

Or charge a fee fr total poundage of passengers and their luggage. Yeah, it has become more awkward to board since they imposed these fees.

I think a lot of people do these lifts with way too much weight, opting to play the stats game with the poundage while sometimes doing just two reps per set. More reps with less weight and it's a safer workout.

They have an even more vanishingly small contribution, total poundage, to the food supply. I don't mean to be a scrooge - go hunting if it pleases you!

The poundage certainly was, but it had to be -- crossbow arms are short and the arrow doesn't travel as long, thus less time is available to transfer energy. And "large populace" makes it sound like they just handed out crossbows to peasant levies, instead of them being very highly paid mercenaries.

Yes, the power imparted to the arrow is the integral of the poundage supplied by the bow or prod, over the distance that it is propelling the arrow, and that distance is shorter on a crossbow than a longbow. But you can have a much higher poundage and still be usable with a crossbow; you have two arms to draw together, and are supporting none of the draw weight while aiming.

Quote Examples using Poundage

Not so much, I’m talking about pure poundage of production: code, pots, designs, sculpture. Iteration is the only way to make something better. Anecdote: One semester, a professor decided to split his ceramics class up into two sections and see which would create better pots. One half would be graded on their final pot, which would be judged in terms of creativity and technical skill. The other half would be judged in terms of poundage of “acceptable” pots. 50 lbs would be a “C” 65 would be an “B” and 90 would be an “A.” At the end of the semester, the best pots out of the entire class were picked from the huge number of iterations that the poundage group created.
