Cristofori's great success was in solving, without any prior example, the fundamental mechanical problem of piano design : the hammer must strike the string, but not remain in contact with it(as a tangent remains in contact with a clavichord string) because this would dampen the sound. Moreover, the hammer must return to its rest position without bouncing violently, and it must be possible to repeat a note rapidly. Cristofori's piano action served as a model for the many different approaches to piano actions that followed. … In 1821, Sébastien Érard invented the double escapement action, which incorporated a repetition lever(also called the balancier) that permitted a note to be repeated even if the key had not yet risen to its maximum vertical position. This facilitated rapid playing of repeated notes, and this musical device was pioneered by Liszt. When the invention became public, as revised by Henri Herz, the double escapement action gradually became standard in grand pianos, and is still incorporated into all grand pianos currently produced. … In grand pianos, the frame and strings are horizontal, with the strings extending away from the keyboard. The action lies beneath the strings, and uses gravity as its means of return to a state of rest. 4, record 3, English, - action

Le piano est un instrument de musique polyphonique à clavier et à cordes frappées, il est donc classé parmi les percussions et les cordes. Le son est produit par les cordes, tendues sur un cadre rigide, au-dessus de la table d'harmonie. Elles sont frappées par des marteaux, couverts de feutre, actionnés par l'enfoncement des touches du clavier. La vibration des cordes est stoppée par un étouffoir lorsque la touche du clavier est relâchée. Un dispositif mécanique, appelé «échappement», permet à la corde de vibrer librement, puis au cours de son évolution, une répétition plus rapide de la note. […] L'un des mécanismes primordiaux du piano est le mécanisme d'échappement : si la touche et le marteau étaient directement liés, lors de la propulsion du marteau vers la corde, ce dernier resterait bloqué sur la corde, entraînant un étouffement du son produit. Afin d'éviter cet assourdissement, le marteau est propulsé par l'intermédiaire d'une pièce en forme d'équerre, le bâton d'échappement, qui bascule en arrière lorsque sa partie horizontale atteint une butée (réglable). Ainsi le marteau est libre de repartir en arrière dès qu'il a percuté la corde, qui peut alors vibrer sans être étouffée par le marteau. 2, record 3, French, - m%C3%A9canisme

Différentes parties d’un piano. Le clavier. […] Le mécanisme. Le fait de produire les sons par percussion oblige à utiliser une mécanique complexe. Contrairement aux instruments à corde pincée (clavecin, etc.), le piano nécessite un mécanisme d'échappement. En effet, lorsque le marteau est propulsé vers la corde par l'action de la touche, s'il y avait liaison directe entre le clavier et le marteau, ce dernier resterait bloqué sur la corde, entraînant un étouffement de la note aussitôt le son produit. Pour éviter ceci, le marteau est propulsé par l'intermédiaire d'une pièce en forme d'équerre, le bâton d'échappement, qui bascule en arrière lorsque sa partie horizontale atteint une butée (réglable). Grâce à ceci, le marteau est libre de repartir en arrière lorsqu'il a percuté la corde, lui permettant de produire son son. […] Le pédalier. [La] partie acoustique.

En 1821, Sébastien Érard inventa pour sa part le système à répétition, communément et improprement appelé double échappement, qui permet à une note d'être rejouée même si la touche n'est pas encore revenue à sa position initiale ; une innovation que les grands virtuoses sauront utiliser dans des compositions toujours plus difficiles et toujours plus rapides. Amélioré par Henri Herz vers 1840, le principe du double échappement devint finalement le mécanisme standard des pianos à queue, utilisé par tous les facteurs. Le déclin de la firme Erard fut en partie dû a sa volonté de conserver et de produire un instrument à cordes parallèles (ou obliques) dans lequel l'homogénéité du son est meilleure entre les basses et les médiums. […] L'appellation « double échappement » est à éviter car il n'existe bel et bien qu'un seul mécanisme d'échappement dans les pianos, on préférera ainsi le terme de mécanisme de répétition. 4, record 3, French, - m%C3%A9canisme

A Duma is any of various representative assemblies in modern Russia and Russian history. The State Duma in the Russian Empire and Russian Federation corresponds to the lower house of the parliament. It is also the term for a council to early Russian rulers(Boyar Duma), as well as for city councils in Imperial Russia(Municipal dumas), and city and regional legislative bodies in the Russian Federation. The term comes from the Russian word(dumat), "to think" or "to consider". Boyar Duma was an advisory council to the grand princes and tsars of Muscovy. The Duma was discontinued by Peter the Great, who transferred its functions to the Governing Senate in 1721. However, the Duma would be re-introduced later in Russian history by Tsar Nicholas II, in the pre-Revolutionary period(1905), with the aid of his many advisors such as Pyotr Stolypin, amongst others. 1, record 5, English, - Duma

La Douma est le nom de la chambre basse du parlement en Russie. Pour la Fédération de Russie on parle plus précisément de Douma d'État, pour la différencier des Doumas régionales ou de la Douma impériale. Le terme douma, signifie, «penser». Historiquement, la Douma était le conseil consultatif des grands princes de la Russie kiévienne et des tsars de la Russie impériale. La première Douma d'État de l'Empire russe fut convoquée le 27 avril 1906 (10 mai dans le calendrier grégorien) au Palais de Tauride à Saint-Pétersbourg par le tsar Nicolas II. Cette Douma fut instaurée à la suite des événements de 1905, et en particulier du dimanche rouge. Cette concession accordée par le pouvoir fait de la Russie une monarchie constitutionnelle mais non parlementaire, puisque le ministre, nommé par le Tsar, ne dépend pas de l'Assemblée. 1, record 5, French, - Douma

Basic rules of key control systems. The security value of any master keying system is totally dependant on the key control of that particular system. Without well disciplined key controls, any system will break down, and all knowledge of who has, where are, and how many keys there are for your building, may be lost. 1, record 12, English, - multi%2Dlevel%20master%20keying%20system

It is important to remember that when using a master key system, if ever a master key is lost, your master key system is compromised and must be rekeyed in its entirety. Whenever a change key is lost, then only the cylinder on that change key’s lock must be re-set. 1, record 12, English, - multi%2Dlevel%20master%20keying%20system
