Many methods have been used in setting and supporting end posts... A satisfactory method is to set the anchor post at a slight angle. The post is then guyed with a strong galvanized wire, one end of which is fastened to the post 0, 3 m(1 ft) from the top and the other to an anchor 1 m(3 ft) from the post. A very satisfactory anchor is made by placing a 1 m(3 ft) iron bar... in a post hole... Approximately 15 L(3 gal) of concrete are poured around the bar as it is held in the center of the hole. 2, record 1, English, - anchor

Each NASA ISPR provides 1. 6 m³(55. 5ft³) of internal volume. The rack weighs 104 kg(230 lbm) and can accommodate an additional 700 kg(1543 lbm) of payload equipment. The rack has internal mounting provisions to allow attachment of secondary structure. The ISPRs will be outfitted with a thin center post to accommodate sub-rack-sized payloads, such as the 48. 3 cm(19 in) Spacelab Standard Interface Rack(SIR) Drawer or the Space Shuttle Middeck Locker. Utility pass-through ports are located on each side to allow cables to be run between racks. Module attachment points are provided at the top of the rack, and via pivot points at the bottom of the rack. The pivot points support installation and maintenance. Tracks on the exterior front posts allow mounting of payload equipment and laptop computers. Additional adapters on the ISPRs are provided for ground handling. 3, record 2, English, - international%20standard%20payload%20rack

Ces bâtis, qui constituent une évolution technologique majeure, sont dénommés ISPR, pour «International Standard Payload Rack». ... Du fait que les modules européen, américain et japonais utilisent le même concept d'ISPR, les bâtis sont interchangeables entre les laboratoires, à l'exception des laboratoires russes qui n'ont pas adopté ce standard. Le [Columbus Orbital Facility] COF peut recevoir simultanément dix bâtis ISPR de type scientifique comportant divers instruments et expériences ainsi que trois bâtis de stockage d'équipements.

Immediately after landing, the orbiter is towed to the Orbiter processing Facility (OPF) located west of the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB). The orbiter then undergoes safing procedures in the OPF which include removing residual fuels and explosive ordnance items. Then the orbiter’s previous mission payloads are removed and the vehicle is fully inspected, tested, and refurbished for its next mission. These functions require approximately two-thirds of the time between missions. The remainder is devoted to the installation and checkout of the payload for the next mission. Power-up testing of orbiter vehicles in the OPF are actually controlled from consoles in the Launch Control Complex (LCC) . 4, record 3, English, - orbiter%20processing%20facility

Les épaississeurs servent à régler la concentration en solides de la pulpe qui ira à la flottation ou alimentera les filtres à vide. Ces appareils utilisent le phénomène de la vitesse limite en eau calme. Ce sont des bassins cylindriques dans lesquels l'eau chargée arrive à la partie supérieure, au centre du bassin; elle se répartit radialement, et, pendant le temps de parcours pour atteindre la périphérie, les particules les plus grenues descendent, échappant à ce courant horizontal, et tombent au fond; c'est donc une eau moins chargée qui est évacuée par débordement. Les particules qui ont décanté se rassemblent sur le fond du bassin; le plus souvent, ce fond est à peine conique, parfois même plat, et les bras d'un râteau tournant très lentement homogénéisent le dépôt, qui est amené vers l'orifice de sortie. 4, record 5, French, - %C3%A9paississeur
