  • Operations (Air Forces)

The question of assurance sorties is debatable, and students who planned to use only eight aircraft are not wrong. Where only a single attack against a single target is planned, and the need for surprise rules out a restrike, however, many squadron commanders would go for assurance sorties.

Record 5 2011-08-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
CONT

A Go-NoGo gauge(or Go/no go) refers to an inspection tool used to check a workpiece against its allowed tolerances. Its name derives from its use : the gauge itself has two tests; the check involves the workpiece's having to pass one test(Go) and ’fail' the other(No Go).... A Go NoGo gauge is a measuring tool that does not return a size in the conventional sense, but instead returns a state. The state is either acceptable(the part is within tolerance and may be used) or it is unacceptable(and must be rejected).

Key term(s)
  • go, no-go gage
  • go-nogo gage
  • go-nogo adapter

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aérotechnique et maintenance
CONT

Le principe du contrôle d'une grandeur mécanique par calibre à limite est basé sur l'utilisation d'un calibre ENTRE et d'un calibre N'ENTRE PAS parfois appelés GO et NO GO. Ce contrôle ne donne pas de renseignement sur la valeur de la grandeur. En revanche, il renseigne sur le fait que la grandeur mesurée est dans la tolérance spécifiée et nécessaire pour assurer le fonctionnement d'un ensemble mécanique. C'est donc en principe un contrôle de fabrication ou même de réception mais ce n'est pas une mesure. Les calibres à limite ne sont pas des appareils mesureurs (comme un pied à coulisse par exemple). Son avantage réside dans la simplicité et la rapidité de la mesure. Elle permet un tri des pièces mais elle ne permettra pas de faire un diagnostic sur une éventuelle non-conformité. La grandeur mesurée est dite dans la tolérance si : [Le] calibre ENTRE n'interfère pas avec la grandeur, c’est-à-dire pénètre. [Le] calibre N'ENTRE PAS interfère avec la grandeur, c’est-à-dire ne pénètre pas.

OBS

calibre entre n'entre pas : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Maintenance.

Record 6 2011-01-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Neology and Linguistic Borrowing
DEF

A shortage of candidates with true leadership attributes.

CONT

Roger E. Levien, vice president of strategy at Xerox, would go further. ’It is that, plus the continuing trade deficit, the S&L crisis, the educational deficit, the decline of our once-great cities, the erosion of our economic infrastructure, the persistence of an underclass locked in a cycle of poverty, violence and despair. And against that backdrop, the leadership deficit. Nobody is offering credible answers or a Churchillian call to arms. ’

OBS

"Leadership" involves having the ability to lead and "deficit" implies that there are not enough candidates with such qualities as integrity, courage and strength to face the problems that arise when running a nation. If separated, these two words can lexically stand on their own and therefore they are formed by a compound word.

DEF

One who is associated with a bucket shop.

CONT

Bucketeers virtually bet against a customer, without his consent, that a given stock will go up or down. If the customer buys, the broker sells an equal amount of the same stock(short) against him; if he sells, the bucketeer purchases an equivalent amount of the same stock. Orders are executed theoretically and not legitimately, i. e. they are "bucketed". Should its customers win too often, the bucket shop closes overnight and moves elsewhere.
