Test for Special Form Radioactive Material.... Percussion test. The material is placed on a lead sheet which is supported by a smooth essentially unyielding surface and struck by the flat face of a steel billet so as to produce an impact equivalent to that resulting from a free fall of 1. 4 kg through 1 m. The flat face of the billet is 25 mm in diameter with the edges rounded off to a radius of 3 mm. The lead, of hardness number 3. 5 to 4. 5 on the Vickers scale and not more than 25 mm thick, covers an area greater than that covered by the material. A fresh surface of lead is used for each impact. The billet strikes the material so as to cause maximum damage. 1, record 7, English, - percussion%20test

Les matières sont posées sur une feuille de plomb reposant sur une surface lisse, foncièrement rigide; on les frappe avec la face plane d'une barre d'acier, de manière à produire un choc équivalent à celui que provoquerait un poids de 1,4 kg tombant en chute libre d'une hauteur de 1 m. La face plane de la barre a 25 mm de diamètre et son arête fait un arrondi de 3 mm. Le plomb, d'une dureté de Vickers de 3,5 à 4,5, est d'une épaisseur maximale de 25 mm et couvre une surface plus grande que celle que couvrent les matières.

[Paper drying] The drying rate varies along the machine. The first two or three cylinders into the drying section serve principally to raise the temperature of the sheet(the "warm-up zone"). Evaporation then quickly reaches a peak rate which is maintained as long as water is present on the fiber surfaces or within the large capillaries("constant rate zone"). At the point where the remaining free moisture is concentrated in the smaller capillaries, the rate begins to decrease("falling rate zone"). Finally, at about 9% moisture, the residual water within the sheet is more tightly held by physicochemical forces, and the evaporation rate is further reduced("bound water zone"). 1, record 8, English, - constant%20rate%20zone
