Shears... One side(or both) has a larger handle to accommodate a couple of fingers(thumb in the top and fingers in the bottom). The handles are often attached with an adjustable screw for precision cutting(especially dressmaker's shears). Dressmaker's shears are generally longer and their bent shape facilitates easier cutting of fabrics, while utility shears with both large handles have a heavier construction and a wider range of cutting applications. 4, record 1, English, - dressmaker%27s%20shears

The landing gear of the BE-10 aircraft is a fully retractable tricycle configuration, driven by a 28-volt motor located on the forward side of the main spar. The main gear actuators are driven from the motor gearbox through torque shafts. The nose-gear actuator is driven by a duplex chain from a sprocket on the motor gearbox. The input shaft to the nose-gear actuator drives a series of rotating gears inside the actuator. These gears rotate a screw into and out of a lubricated aluminum-bronze alloy nut. The movement of the screw through the lubricated nut extends and retracts the nose landing gear. 3, record 2, English, - gearbox

Reciprocating screw systems. In a reciprocating(in-line) screw, the material is fed from the hopper, plasticized in the screw, and forced past a one-way valve at the injection end of the screw. The material accumulates in front of the screw, forcing back the screw, its drive and motor, and the pistons of the two hydraulic injection cylinders.... When the screw reaches a certain position, it contacts a limit switch that stops the rotation. When the cycle is ready to inject, two hydraulic injection cylinders, one on each side of the carriage, move the screw assembly forward and use the screw as an injection ram. 1, record 7, English, - reciprocating%20screw%20system
