Aquatint. The special granular effect of the ground is applied by either dry or wet methods. In the former case, the plate is placed in a bitumen powder cupboard in which a fine dust of the powder is whirled about and allowed to settle uniformly on the upturned surface of the plate. This dust is melted by a heater under the plate. The size of the granules depends on the time which passes between setting the dust in motion and laying up the plate in the cupboard, and its density on how long it is allowed to remain there. 1, record 3, English, - aquatint%20cupboard

Cependant un dépôt de grain très régulier - surtout sur une assez grande surface - ne peut guère s'obtenir sans la boîte à grain. Il s'agit d'une grande caisse dont les dimensions moyennes peuvent être, en cm : 150 à 200 de hauteur, 80 de largeur et 60 à 100 de profondeur. Il est évident que ces dimensions doivent être en rapport avec celles des plaques à grainer, puisque celles-ci doivent pouvoir se loger à l'intérieur. [...] Le principe de la boîte à grain consiste à faire se disperser, par un violent courant d'air, le Kilo de poussière de résine ou de bitume que l'on a placé à l'intérieur. [...] La retombée du grain sur la plaque, qui est le but de l'opération, demande une certaine minutie : étant donné que les grains les plus gros retombent les premiers, il faut calculer un temps d'attente en relation avec la finesse du grain désiré. [...] On introduit la plaque lorsqu'on juge le moment venu et on la laisse à peu près cinq minutes avec un gros grain, plus avec un grain fin. 2, record 3, French, - bo%C3%AEte%20%C3%A0%20grain

CANMET scientists have developed a new technique that removes undesirable gases and dust from industrial smoke. The process(...) uses cheap granular materials such as limestone, gravel and coal as the filtering medium, which is held in a vertical column called a packed bed. 1, record 4, English, - packed%20bed
