Needle holders are used to suture deep areas where hands cannot reach comfortably or where high precision and clear visibility is required. The holders may be with or without a catch. All needle holders have a firm grip.  7, record 6, English, - needle%20holder

Record number: 6, Textual support number: 2 OBS

Needle holders are mainly ring handled instruments similar to hemostats in appearance but with smaller jaws which are shorter and thicker. The purpose of needle holders is to securely hold surgical needles which are attached to sutures. Not all needle holders are ring handled. Spring handled needle holders are used in surgical procedures requiring delicate suturing in tight or poorly exposed areas of the body. Spring handled needle holders provide maximum result with minimum rotation of wrist and hand. Most spring handle holders will have a lock or catch to secure the needle.  3, record 6, English, - needle%20holder

The Aztec word for a spear throwing stick device.  4, record 9, English, - atlatl

Record number: 9, Textual support number: 1 OBS

This projectile propulsion device preceded the bow and arrow. In general, a wooden or bone stick or board with a hand grip at one end and a spur or hook at the other end. The atlatl is used as an extension of the arm in throwing a spear or dart. The spear shaft is socketed and fits into the spur or hook of the Atlatl. Essentially the Atlatl lengthens the length of the spear thrower's arm and with loaded, spring-like, motion can provide the benefit of greater force and distance over that of the hand thrown spear. It is hypothesized that sometimes a stone weight(s)(a. k. a. : Bannerstone, Birdstone, Boatstone) was attached to the Atlatl to provide better balance or to load the device with a spring or bending effect or to diminish the "whoosh" noise created during the throwing process.  4, record 9, English, - atlatl

L'atlatl a servi pendant très longtemps à lancer les javelots des chasseurs ou des guerriers. Encore maintenant, ce propulseur mécanique reste utilisé par les chasseurs de l'Alaska et d'Australie. Les hommes installent une extrémité de leur lance dans la planche juste avant de l'envoyer, pour multiplier leur force et donc la vitesse de la lance dans l'air. Grâce à l'atlatl, les lances atteignent des vitesses de 100 km/h sur une distance de 200 mètres.  1, record 9, French, - atlatl

Pollutants released above an advection inversion can be transported long distances without ever touching the ground. Emissions from the 400 meter "superstock" in Sudbury can "zip" across the Great Lakes into southern Ontario in spring and early summer without being depleted whatsoever. On the other hand, in early fall and winter, pollutants are very effectively dispersed by the strong convective mixing above warm lake surfaces.  1, record 10, English, - superstock
