The main differences between a military bugle and a posthorn are their shape and purpose. Coiled in a circle like miniature horn..., the posthorn literally gets its name from its association with the postal service... Posthorns signaled the arrival of mail coaches to secure "unhindered and speedy attention, "... They were also used to alert travelers to road conditions, to alert toll keepers of express mail coaches that required free passage, and to notify innkeepers of passengers in need of lodging. In addition to its primary signal function, the posthorn was used to perform melodies.... To serve this more melodic function, some posthorns were fitted with a single vent hole as well as keys and later, valves. 3, record 2, English, - post%20horn

In the preceding context, the use of the verbs "to ground" and "to bond" makes the sentence hardly comprehensible for a non-specialist. It would have been clearer to say something like "there should be no electrical connections between the containers and with the ground ...", which renders the idea conveyed by "to bond" and "to ground" in that particular sentence in a much more simple way. 3, record 15, English, - bond
