La section aérienne des banderoles est essentielle pour effrayer les oiseaux afin de les éloigner des hameçons garnis d'appâts : un objet peut être remorqué afin de créer une tension supplémentaire et maximiser ainsi l'étendue aérienne.

Back vent. A pipe or system of pipes connected to the drainage pipes of a plumbing system for the purpose of supplying or removing air to relieve pressures above or below atmospheric.

A foresight is a reading taken on a position of unknown coordinate(s). Since a survey progresses from a point of known position to points of unknown position, a foresight is a reading looking "forward" along the line of progress. Foresights may be taken on the "main circuit" of the survey or on additional points of interest. Readings on additional points of interest are sometimes called sideshots or intermediate foresights to distinguish them from the readings that form the main circuit of the survey. 2, record 7, English, - foresight
