... the general problem with the Riefler clocks... was that, although they were very accurate over short periods, changes in their rates made them of little use for studies extending over several months. This defect was remedied to a great extent in the Shortt clock..., which was invented by the British engineer William Shortt... Like in the Riefler clock, the master pendulum of the Shortt clock was housed in a largely evacuated tube. The master pendulum synchronized the motion of a second "slave" pendulum. The slave pendulum sent electrical signals to the master's drive mechanism and to operate the dialwork on the slave clock. By an elaborate electromechanical feedback the master and slave pendulums kept each other synchronized.  2, record 1, English, - Shortt%20clock

CF [Canadian Forces] members who act as CBRN defence specialists should be confident that operations can be conducted safely in a contaminated environment. To ensure this confidence, chemical agent training should be conducted in a realistic but controlled environment. In addition, members of certain operational units use such training to ensure the accuracy of equipment, reliability of technique, as well as competence and confidence of personnel.... Chemical agent training is authorized in priority for the following :... general support CBRN defence units; decontamination units(mobile laundry and bath unit platoons, airfield engineer squadrons and field ambulances) ;...

Les militaires qui agissent en qualité de spécialistes en défense CBRN doivent être convaincus que les opérations peuvent être menées en toute sécurité dans un environnement contaminé. À cette fin, la formation avec des agents chimiques devrait être donnée dans un environnement réaliste mais contrôlé. En outre, les membres de certaines unités opérationnelles profitent de cette formation pour assurer la précision de l’équipement, la fiabilité des techniques ainsi que les compétences et l’assurance du personnel. [...] La formation avec des agents chimiques est autorisée en priorité pour ce qui suit : [...] les unités d’appui général en défense CBRN; les unités de décontamination (pelotons d’unité mobile de buanderie et de bain, escadrons du génie de l’air et ambulances de campagne); [...] les officiers de défense CBRN des unités des écoles navales des FC [Forces canadiennes] et les instructeurs de défense CBRN des unités [...]  1, record 3, French, - instructeur%20de%20d%C3%A9fense%20CBRN

The resident engineer is the owner's representative on the job although, particularly on Federal projects, his authority to make decisions may be severely limited. As a general rule, he does sign all correspondence addressed to the contractor even though the letters, other than routine, may be prepared in detail at a higher office.  1, record 5, English, - resident%20engineer

Signs. The ordinary company-name sign that a general contractor puts up on all his jobs is not considered a job expense. If the contract should call for a special sign, however(perhaps one showing the title of the project, with the names of the owner, architect, and engineer), then an item should be carried in the estimate for it.  2, record 7, English, - site%20sign

Before the engineer can design an foundation intelligently, he must have a reasonably accurate conception of the physical properties and the arrangements of the underlying materials. The field and laboratory investigations required to obtain this essential information are called the soil exploration or the exploratory program.... After preliminary borings have disclosed the general characteristics of the underlying material, a more extensive program of boring and sampling may be indicated.  1, record 8, English, - program%20of%20boring
