The Aztec word for a spear throwing stick device. 4, record 2, English, - atlatl
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
This projectile propulsion device preceded the bow and arrow. In general, a wooden or bone stick or board with a hand grip at one end and a spur or hook at the other end. The atlatl is used as an extension of the arm in throwing a spear or dart. The spear shaft is socketed and fits into the spur or hook of the Atlatl. Essentially the Atlatl lengthens the length of the spear thrower's arm and with loaded, spring-like, motion can provide the benefit of greater force and distance over that of the hand thrown spear. It is hypothesized that sometimes a stone weight(s)(a. k. a. : Bannerstone, Birdstone, Boatstone) was attached to the Atlatl to provide better balance or to load the device with a spring or bending effect or to diminish the "whoosh" noise created during the throwing process. 4, record 2, English, - atlatl

L'atlatl a servi pendant très longtemps à lancer les javelots des chasseurs ou des guerriers. Encore maintenant, ce propulseur mécanique reste utilisé par les chasseurs de l'Alaska et d'Australie. Les hommes installent une extrémité de leur lance dans la planche juste avant de l'envoyer, pour multiplier leur force et donc la vitesse de la lance dans l'air. Grâce à l'atlatl, les lances atteignent des vitesses de 100 km/h sur une distance de 200 mètres. 1, record 2, French, - atlatl

Particle board produced by forcing the particle/resin mix between metal dies arranged to correspond with desired board thickness and width. Characterized by particles lying predominantly at right angles to the surface. 4, record 3, English, - extruded%20particle%20board
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Where platen pressing restricts the board thickness to a size commensurate with the maximum curing of the resin, the extrusion method permits much thicker material to be produced. [The] general use of overlay materials such as wood veneers, laminated plastic, asbestos, etc., increases the bending strength adequately for most purposes. 3, record 3, English, - extruded%20particle%20board

Let us now... consider... the symmetrical construction of a typical plywood board. 1.(a) The crossing of the grain of each adjacent veneer gives to plywood the greatest possible strength in both directions. As the number of plies are increased, the mass gains in strength until a 7-ply board, 5/8 in. thick, the resistance to bending is practically equal in both directions of the grain.(b) This cross-grained construction also obviously adds greatly to the resistance to splitting-a point of great value when we consider the placing of nails, screws or bolts close to the edge of the board.... 1, record 6, English, - resistance%20to%20splitting
