Making bentwood boxes(also known as bent-corner boxes and kerfed boxes) is an art form that involves grooving, steaming and bending a single wooden plank of yellow or red cedar to form the sides of a box. … Bentwood boxes are valued possessions in any time period, but traditionally they were used to house wealth and ceremonial objects. 2, record 1, English, - bentwood%20box

Les parois des boîtes de bois cintré sont confectionnées au moyen d'un seul morceau de bois, typiquement du cèdre. La technique de cintrage du bois pour créer une boîte imperméable est originaire de la côte du Nord-Ouest et elle continue d'être utilisée de nos jours. Les boîtes de bois cintré sont créées par des ébénistes d'expérience, qui possèdent les connaissances mathématiques et les compétences nécessaires pour entailler le bois avec précision, le soumettre à la vapeur et aligner les coins de la boîte. 1, record 1, French, - bo%C3%AEte%20de%20bois%20cintr%C3%A9

More mature hay is characterized by rounder, coarser stems that break easily, and the presence of seed heads. In comparison, the immature hay has few seed heads and flat, pliable leaves that retain their length while bending to form the hay. 2, record 2, English, - immature%20hay

Immature hay is both more easily digested by, and more appetizing to, horses. This is because it is lower in nonstructural carbohydrates (sugars and starches) and is typically softer, greener and leafier. 3, record 2, English, - immature%20hay

Three-Wheel Roll Bending is a technique that uses three round-bend dies to form the tube. This style of bending is typically used for large radius bends and coils. The bend is created when the top center bend die is hydraulically lowered into the tube as the two lower left and right bend dies rotate in unison in one direction and then reverse direction when required. CNC versions of this machine allow an operator to alter the pressures during the bending cycle and thus create an elliptical shape or a bend with multiple bend radius. 1, record 9, English, - roll%20bending

Test for Special Form Radioactive Material.... Bending test : This test is performed only on long slender material with a minimum length of 10 cm and a length to minimum width ratio of not less than 10. The material is rigidly clamped in a horizontal position so that one half of its length protrudes from the face of the clamp. The orientation of the material is such that the package suffers maximum damage when its free end is struck by the flat face of a steel billet. The billet strikes the material so as to produce an impact equivalent to that resulting from a free vertical fall of 1. 4 kg through one metre. 1, record 10, English, - bending%20test
