An instrument designed to detect vibrations passing through the earth's crust. It is used in conjunction with seismography. 4, record 3, English, - geophone
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Although the term "seismograph" is sometimes substituted for "geophone" in the literature, the terms are not synonymous: the geophone detects ground motion and sends electrical impulses to a recording device within the seismograph system of which it is a part. The geophone differs from the seismometer in that it functions electromagnetically while the seismometer is usually an electromechanical device. 5, record 3, English, - geophone

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L'emploi du terme «sismographe» pour désigner un capteur sismique est impropre, mais assez courant dans le domaine de la prospection sismique. En fait, les géophones, n'ayant pas de capacité d'enregistrement, font partie du système sismographique. 3, record 3, French, - g%C3%A9ophone
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Depuis l'avènement des méthodes sismiques, on a utilisé des séismomètres dont le principe d'opération est strictement mécanique, méchanico-électronique ou encore basé sur la réluctance variable [...] De nos jours, les géophones dont le principe d'opération est fondé sur l'électromagnétisme sont presque exclusivement utilisés. 4, record 3, French, - g%C3%A9ophone

A large hold with a sharp edge around which the fingers can curl. 7, record 4, English, - jug%20handle
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
A larger fingertip hold becomes a true handhold - for the entire hand - ... such holds are nicknamed "jug handles" or, when appearing at the end of a hairy lead, "Thank God holds." 8, record 4, English, - jug%20handle
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Although one finds "bucket" defined as a large handhold and used as a synonym for "jug handle", it is also used to name a large foothold. Some sources define "bucket" as a large hold, thus making the concept for "bucket" broader than "jug handle." 9, record 4, English, - jug%20handle
