6. Two members of opposite parties or opinion, as in a

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
constrain relative motion.

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.
