            dexterity in execution. A device usually has reference
            to something worked out for exhibition or show; a
            contrivance usually respects the arrangement or
            disposition of things with reference to securing some
            end. Devices were worn by knights-errant on their
            shields; contrivances are generally used to promote
            the practical convenience of life. The word device is
            often used in a bad sense; as, a crafty device;
            contrivance is almost always used in a good sense; as,
            a useful contrivance.
