... each loaf must be loosened from its pan; this is done by a jet of air directed down one side of the loaf. Next, loaves must be removed from their pans. This was a hot chore that no one wanted in the days of baking by hand. In the... bakery, it's done via machine by a depanner that clamps onto 20 pans at a time and tips them over, dropping the loaves onto a traveling belt. 2, record 1, English, - depanner

By November, the Arctic inversion becomes well established and the basin area begins to experience lower mean temperatures than the surrounding mountain region. With cold air continually draining into the basin and a net loss of radiation due to long, often clear and calm winter nights, the surface temperatures can become bitterly cold, at times dropping below minus 50 °C. 2, record 2, English, - Arctic%20inversion

Vers le mois de novembre, l'inversion arctique s'établit et la région commence à subir des températures moyennes plus basses que les régions montagneuses environnantes. L'air froid continuellement drainé dans le bassin et la perte nette de rayonnement durant les longues nuits d'hiver, parfois claires et sans vent, peuvent faire descendre la température assez radicalement, parfois même en dessous de -50 °C. 2, record 2, French, - inversion%20arctique

The blanched peanut is really a redskin peanut that has had the red skin covering removed.... The way the red peanut skin is removed is by dropping the peanuts through a set of mechanical brushes which makes the red skins break open. The skins are blown to the side by a blast of air. This is called mechanical blanching. Another method commonly used is to blast the redskin with water. 2, record 4, English, - peanut%20skin
