A fret rocker is a simple tool used by guitarists and luthiers to check the levelness of guitar frets. It is a small metal rod with a flat edge that is placed across three frets at a time. The tool is then rocked back and forth to check for any gaps between the frets and the straight edge of the tool. If there is any gap, it indicates that the fret is raised and needs to be leveled. 1, record 1, English, - fret%20rocker

The function of the Rod Scanning Unit is to check for alpha contamination on the fuel rods, to inspect the pellet stacking inside the fuel rods, and to assess pellet-to-pellet variations in the rods. After receipt and identification of a rod tray, each rod is sequentially inspected. Each rod passes successively through three measuring cells : Gamma transmission cell for inspecting internal pellet stacking. Alpha counting cell for performing an alpha contamination check. Active gamma scanning cell for assessing plutonium content. 1, record 2, English, - active%20gamma%20scanning

The double-action hydraulic hand pump is used in some older aircraft and in a few newer systems as a backup unit. Double-action hand pumps produce fluid flow and pressure on each stroke of the handle. The double-action hand pump consists essentially of a housing which has a cylinder bore and two ports, a piston, two spring-loaded check valves, and an operating handle. An O-ring on the piston seals against leakage between the two chambers of the piston cylinder bore. An O-ring in a groove in the end of the pump housing seals against leakage between the piston rod and housing. 2, record 3, English, - hand%20pump
