1906 Electrician 6 Apr. 1021/1 The device was disused for most work eventually owing to the very slow zeroing of the pointer.

1948 Amer. Jrnl. Psychol. 61 409 The meter should..indicate this value correctly. If it does not, the zeroing operation is again carried out and a recalibration made.

1975 Chem. Engin. 10 Nov. 223/1 A process-control computer..has been extended to control zeroing of selected instrument transmitters to improve the accuracy of the input.

2011 J. Pokorný et al. in E. Petrovský et al. Earth's Magn. Interior xx. 294/2 Automatic zeroing compensates both real and imaginary components.

b. The action or process of adjusting the sights of a rifle; the manner or position in which the sights of a rifle are set. Cf. zero v. 2. Frequently attributive.

1908 Arms & Explosives Aug. 99/2 The Zeroing of Military Rifles.—One of the most difficult..problems of the rifle is that which concerns the ascertainment of the zero angle.

1917 Arms & Man 8 Feb. 386/2 During the zeroing performance at short range, the Mark VII bullet with its aluminum nose did a queer thing.

1931 Times 13 Apr. 7/5 The majority are content to fire a few shots at the zeroing range with the idea of finding out if the sights are set straight.

1975 V. Canning Kingsford Mark v. 83 On the rifle were telescopic sights... He would..fire a few rounds and check the zeroing.

2012 R. Stirling Special Forces Sniper Skills iii. 88 A sniper might well take out the bolt to clean it but he would not..remove the telescopic sights from the receiver to avoid spoiling the zeroing.

2. Linguistics. The omission or deletion of part of a linguistic form or structure.

ΚΠ

1956 Language 32 645 In all or nearly all dialects the first of two contiguous unstressed vowels may or may not be modified by shortening and/or raising or zeroing.

1970 J. W. Gair Colloq. Sinhalese Clause Struct. iv. 54 It is convenient to treat such clauses as derived by context-governed deletion from full clauses like them in every respect save the presence of such constituents. The term ‘zeroing’ will be reserved for such discourse deletion.

2007 Nat. Lang. & Ling. Theory 25 93 This zeroing does not normally occur in KS [= Koyraboro Senni].
