A facsimile printing process employing a moist, electrolyte-impregnated, roll-fed paper. The current(signal) is applied by feeding the paper between a stationary contact and a revolving drum with a helical contactor. The revolving of the drum causes the point of electrical contact between the blade and helical wire to move laterally across the paper, one line per revolution. As the electrical current passes through the paper, it causes a dark change of coloration at all points of contact. 1, record 1, English, - electrolytic%20process

Gaz: Ce terme définit une des formes ou états que la matière peut prendre selon la température et la pression. C'est, plus précisément, l'état dans lequel les molécules (mono-ou poly-atomiques) sont suffisamment séparées les unes des autres pour que les forces d'attraction entre elles soient pratiquement négligeables. 2, record 2, French, - enrichissement%20du%20gaz

concentration : [...] Ce terme peut avoir en chimie deux significations: il exprime la quantité par unité de volume de chacun des constituants présents dans un mélange, ou désigne l'opération qui aboutit à enrichir un mélange en l'un de ses constituants. [...] Lorsque le mélange est gazeux, on peut réaliser l'enrichissement en séparant le composant étudié par l'intermédiaire de solvant sélectifs, où en ayant recours à la liquéfaction suivie d'une distillation fractionnée. 2, record 2, French, - enrichissement%20du%20gaz
