The true chameleon and the green anode have much in common. They are both lizards. Most species live in trees or bushes, subsisting mainly on insects. Both can change color, although the anode's ability to do so is considerably more limited than the chameleon's. 1, record 1, English, - chameleon

Le vrai caméléon et l'anode vert présentent de nombreux points communs. Ils appartiennent tous deux à la famille des lézards, dont la plupart des espèces vivent dans les arbres ou dans les buissons. Ils se nourrissent principalement d'insectes et peuvent tous deux changer de couleur, quoique cette faculté soit beaucoup plus développée chez le caméléon. 1, record 1, French, - cam%C3%A9l%C3%A9on

Current is led out of the [electrolytic reduction] cell to the anode bus bar by a number of carbon block anodes suspended in parallel rows on vertical conducting rods of copper or aluminum. Because impurities in the anodes dissolve in the bath as they are consumed, pure carbon(calcined petroleum coke or pitch coke) is used as raw material. The ground coke is mixed hot with enough coal tar or petroleum pitch to bond it into a block when pressed in a mold to form the "green" anode. This is then baked slowly at temperatures up to 1100-1200 °C. 2, record 2, English, - carbon%20anode%20baking%20furnace

La réduction électrolytique de l'alumine dissoute dans la cryolithe nécessite l'emploi d'anode en carbone. (...) Le coke, préalablement calciné (...) est broyé et tamisé (...). Les poussières sèches sont alors chauffées puis mélangées avec du brai (...). La pâte à la sortie des malaxeurs est mise en forme (...). Les anodes crues sont ensuite cuites dans des fours à chambre en atmosphère réductrice. La durée de cuisson est de 90 à 180 h et la température maximale atteinte par les anodes est de 1 100 °C. 2, record 2, French, - four%20de%20cuisson%20d%27anode%20en%20carbone
