In the indicating device of an integrating meter the first moving element(disc, numbered roller, etc...) which has the smallest scale value normally moves continuously during the course of measurement. However, this continuity of movement does not always occur in the indicating devices of some other integrating measuring instruments, e. g. cyclic operating heat meter, hydrometric vane in which the indicating device is actuated by discontinuous impulses. 1, record 1, English, - integrating%20meter

Appareil mesureur intégrateur qui indique progressivement les valeurs de la grandeur mesurée accumulées pendant un certain temps. 1, record 1, French, - compteur
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Dans le dispositif indicateur d'un compteur continu, le premier élément mobile (disque, rouleau chiffré, etc) qui a la plus petite valeur d'échelon se déplace ordinairement de façon continue au cours du mesurage. Cependant, cette continuité de mouvement n'existe pas toujours pour les dispositifs indicateurs de certains autres appareils mesureurs intégrateurs. Exemples : compteur de chaleur à fonctionnement cyclique, moulinet hydrométrique dont le dispositif indicateur est entraîné par des impulsions discontinues. 1, record 1, French, - compteur

With the German government research establishment DFVLR, Dornier is developing an Open-Loop Gust Alleviation(OLGA) system. Gusts are sensed by an angle of attack vane at the nose, pitch rate gyro and vertical accelerometer : gust responses are dampened by moving both ailerons up or down simultaneously in association with the elevator. 1, record 2, English, - Open%2DLoop%20Gust%20Alleviation%20system
