Consideration must be given to, first of all, the rights and interests involved, i.e., chain of ownership, when real property is affected by a body of water; and, secondly, the physical location on the ground of the extent of such rights and interests, i.e., extent of ownership.

Under the "Land Titles Act" the chain of ownership is guaranteed by the Assurance Fund to be correct and under the mirror principle, is deemed to reflect the true existing state of the ownership. The extent of ownership, however, is not guaranteed under the "Land Titles Act, "and in final analysis the extent of lands guaranteed is controlled by the field monuments themselves.

Modern technology makes of practical astronomical use an old theoretical curiosity : that a spinning liquid surface can, in principle, be used as the primary mirror of a telescope. Liquid mirrors have two main advantages over conventional glass mirrors : they are considerably cheaper, and it should be possible to build them to much larger diameters. 1, record 4, English, - liquid%20mirror

Pour fabriquer un miroir liquide, le chercheur place un liquide réfléchissant dans une cuvette à laquelle un moteur imprime un mouvement circulaire constant. Le liquide s'étale en une mince pellicule parfaitement lisse qui épouse la forme d'une parabole et qui peut ainsi faire office de miroir de télescope. Pour obtenir des images de qualité optique, il faut que les imperfections à la surface du liquide soient inférieures au millième de l'épaisseur d'un cheveu. 2, record 4, French, - miroir%20liquide

The above deck equipment is usually some form of tracking dish, with a circular polarized feed arrangement. This usually takes the form of an helical antenna, wound with left-hand circular polarization. The signal from the satellite is right-hand circular polarization, but since the signal is reflected by the dish, polarization sense is reversed. This is the same principle as if you were to look in a mirror; your image is reversed. 1, record 5, English, - above%20deck%20equipment
