In the early days of lode gold mining, stamp mills were used for crushing the ore. Where there was free gold in the ore, a silver-plated copper plate was placed so that the discharge through the screen from the mortar, with the addition of water, flowed down over this plate which was coated with quicksilver, allowing the free gold to become amalgamated and retained to the plate. The man who operated such a mill was called an amalgamator.  4, record 3, English, - amalgamator

The detector cell consisted of two circular plates. One was a 0. 0005-in nickel foil disk functioning as the sensor plate; the other, a 0. 002-in. gold foil disk, is called the vibrating plate. The gold disk is vibrated at 12 cps to produce alternating current readings for the oscilloscope, whereas the nickel sensor is thermically cycled by current surges. A 0. 10-in. mica spacer separates the plates so that vapor can be passed between them.  1, record 5, English, - vibrating%20plate
