  Breasting  \Breast"ing\,  n.  (Mach.) 
  The  curved  channel  in  which  a  breast  wheel  turns.  It  is 
  closely  adapted  to  the  curve  of  the  wheel  through  about  a 
  quarter  of  its  circumference,  and  prevents  the  escape  of  the 
  water  until  it  has  spent  its  force  upon  the  wheel.  See 
  {Breast  wheel}.
