Pedestal
Definition:
(n.) The base or foot of a column, statue, vase, lamp, or the like; the part on which an upright work stands. It consists of three parts, the base, the die or dado, and the cornice or surbase molding. See Illust. of Column.
(n.) A casting secured to the frame of a truck and forming a jaw for holding a journal box.
(n.) A pillow block; a low housing.
(n.) An iron socket, or support, for the foot of a brace at the end of a truss where it rests on a pier.

(6) We used forced-choice procedures to measure contrast-increment thresholds as a function of pedestal contrast.
(7) We wished to determine whether a similar analysis could be applied to contrast discrimination and whether variation of the increment threshold with pedestal contrast is due to changes in internal noise or sampling efficiency.
