A form of check not employed in the United States but extensively used in England where it is recognized by law. Crossing is of two kinds, general and special. General crossing consists of drawing two parallel or transverse lines across the face of a check without the addition of any words.... If the name of the bank or banker is added in a crossing, however, the check... is known as a special crossing. When a check is crossed, generally the bank on which it is drawn may not pay it to any other party than to a bank, and when it is crossed specially, to no other than the banker specified in the crossing. 2, record 1, English, - crossed%20cheque

En cas de perte, le chèque barré ne peut être encaissé que par l'intermédiaire d'un compte bancaire. Le tireur peut, en outre, inscrire entre les barres le nom de l'établissement bancaire qui seul pourra toucher le chèque. Dans certains pays, les formules de chèques pouvant être délivrées avec un «prébarrement», les chèques non barrés sont devenus l'exception.

sun-run-sun : So we now know how to get a single position line from a single sun sight. But we need at least two position lines to get an actual position fix, or position estimate. But there is only one sun, so we have to wait for the sun to move to take another sun sight and get another position line. Ideally, we would take a sun sight in the morning and obtain a position line, and take another sight in the afternoon for a second position line. This will result in two almost perpendicular lines, which will give us the most reliable fix with two lines(the closer the lines are to [being] perpendicular, the less susceptible their crossing point is to error). 3, record 5, English, - sun%2Drun%2Dsun%20method

[Transceiver Search.] The second method is the grid method. When you find a signal, traverse back and forth across the slope. Where you think the signal is strongest (or, better yet, midway between fade points), you simply make a perpendicular turn (90 degrees to the old direction) and follow this new line. If the signal fades, it’s the wrong way, so turn around (180 degrees) and march in the other direction until you hear the strongest signal (remember to keep turning down the volume). Turn 90 degrees again and repeat the process over and over until you zero in on the buried beacon. 4, record 12, English, - grid%20search%20method
