The development of a neutrally buoyant groundline was undertaken to reduce the probability of large whale entanglements. The resulting product maintained a much lower profile in the water column compared to traditional groundlines[, ] but in hard bottom areas it was susceptible to chaffing and breaking. In order to reduce mortalities once large whales are entangled, a weak rope was developed, again with the addition of barium sulphate. The breaking strength of this product was 1, 065 pounds,... half the weight of traditional groundlines.  3, record 1, English, - groundline

La mise au point d'une ligne de fond à flottabilité neutre a été entreprise en vue de réduire les risques d'enchevêtrement de grosses baleines. Le produit qui en résulte est maintenu bien plus bas dans la colonne d'eau par rapport aux lignes de fond traditionnelles, mais dans les zones au fond dur, il était vulnérable au frottement et à l'usure. Pour réduire les mortalités une fois que les grandes baleines sont prises dans les filets, on a mis au point un câble de faible résistance recouvert de sulfate de baryum. La résistance à la rupture de ce produit était de 1 065 livres, ce qui [...] correspond à la moitié du poids des lignes de fond traditionnelles.  2, record 1, French, - ligne%20de%20fond

The Timber Hitch is very convenient for hoisting boards and timbers, as it cannot jam and may be instantly loosened. If timber is to be hoisted on end the Timber Hitch is made with the end of the rope below the center of the timber and then a Half Hitch is added in the standing part at the upper end of the timber.  2, record 3, English, - timber%20hitch

Standing stances : in the standing position there are only two points of contact with the rock. With one foot well forward, the average belayer can hold 200 pounds from below, but less than half as much with a pull to the side or with the feet together. Belaying a leader from a standing position... is extremely weak if the pull is forward. It should be done only with a short tight rope to the anchor, which will take most of the force, or when standing just below the first protection so that you can not be pulled over.  1, record 6, English, - standing%20stance

Record number: 8, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The approximate weight of a steel cage is 1 1/2 times that of the coal it carries, or about equal to the weight of the coal and the mine cars. Cages are usually designed to take one or two cars per deck and may be single or multi-decked. Where multidecked cages are used, simultaneous or consecutive discharge of decks can be employed. The modern trend is towards consecutive decking with power-operated cage unloading equipment. Cages can be either steel, composite or all-alloy construction. An all-alloy cage is about half the weight of its all-steel equivalent. The cage is suspended from bridle chains which in turn are attached to the cappel of the winding rope. Normally there are two cages in simultaneous operation in the shaft and travelling in opposite directions.  4, record 8, English, - cage
