SPIRAL DIVE. When you turn a series of tightening 360s the paraglider will enter a spiral-a highly banked turn with rapid height loss. The longer you hold the inside brake on, the faster the turn becomes. Safe descent rates of 8 metres/second(500 ft/min approx.) are possible in a spiral dive, but at these high speeds and G-forces it is easy to become disorientated, so you must pay particular attention to altitude. 3, record 1, English, - spiral%20dive

On parle de 360 engagés quand le pilote, à haute altitude, engage un virage à 360° et le poursuit jusqu'à faire 3 ou 4 tours, ce qui l'amène à réaliser une spirale. C'est une technique qui nécessite tout de même une maîtrise du vol. La force centrifuge augmente à chaque tour et n'est pas à négliger, ni le taux de chute qui peut dépasser les 10 m/s. 4, record 1, French, - 360%20engag%C3%A9s

Sheet transfer from wire to press section. Originally, all paper machines employed an open-draw sheet transfer from the forming section to the press section. One type of open-draw configuration is illustrated in Figure 16-77. The tension needed to pull the wet web off the forming fabric is provided by a speed differential between the press and forming sections.(Wet paper develops tension when stretched, but as with other visco-elastic materials, the tension decays rapidly with time. For each subsequent open draw, sheet tension must be reimposed by an additional speed differential between sections.) Open draws are commonly used for heavyweight sheets and are still found on older lightweight machines operating at speeds below 600 m/min(2000 ft/min). 1, record 7, English, - open%20draw%20sheet%20transfer

Slow-speed plows equipped with stepped knives generally cut only in one direction, the cutting run being made at speeds of 15-20 ft/min and the return being made at 30-60 ft/min. In order to maintain productivity with the slow-speed plows it is necessary to take as deep a slice as possible during the cutting run and the depth of slice may vary from 6 to 12 in., according to the hardness of the seam. The machine is hauled along the face by a 7/8 in. diameter wire rope which is wound by a 40-h. p. electrically driven winch located in the tail gate. Slow plows have been successfully used in conjunction with pre-cutting of the face but it appears that they will be superseded by rapid plows because of the greater productive capacity of the latter machines. 1, record 8, English, - slow%2Dspeed%20plow

Rabot statique d'origine. Cet appareil imaginé en Ruhr en 1942 est un soc qui découpe à la base du front un copeau de 30 cm d'épaisseur. Lorsque plusieurs copeaux de 30 cm ont été successivement enlevés à la base de la couche, le charbon supérieur se brise et tombe de lui-même. Le soc est tiré par un câble et le charbon est relevé par la surface gauche du soc jusqu'au niveau du convoyeur blindé sur lequel le rabot s'appuie. Pour que la machine puisse travailler dans les deux sens, elle a deux socs symétriques et deux câbles permettant le va-et-vient. Quant au blindé, il est articulé et reçoit une poussée de pistons horizontaux à air comprimé, à raison d'un piston pour 5 ou 6 m de taille. C'est grâce à cette poussée que le rabot est maintenu avec une force suffisante contre le front. 1, record 8, French, - rabot%20statique

Rapid plows. The Loebbehobel is a rapid plow which is equipped with three or four protruding picks or bits. The plow is double-ended and cuts as it traverses in each direction along the face. The machine normally travels at a speed of about 75 ft/min and takes a slice of coal 3-4 in. thick off the face at each pass. It is pulled to and fro by an endless chain which is driven by the gearheads at each end of the armored conveyor. Maximum pulling force is about 20 tons. This machine is capable of working in seams 1 ft 8 in. thick up to 7 ft thick and can produce, load, and deliver to a gate conveyor from 1. 5 to 5 tons/min. The plow works well in seams which are soft or are hard but friable but will not work well in coal which is "tough" or "woody". 1, record 9, English, - rapid%20plow
