There is a great deal of confusion between "tank farm" and "tank battery." Two sources give them as synonyms while several others define the first as an area or site and the second as a collection or assembly of tanks, or vice versa. However it is the terminologist’s opinion that "tank farm" should be looked at as a site or an area, and "tank battery" as a group, collection, or assembly of storage tanks. 6, record 1, English, - tank%20battery

Guiding lines are an extension of lane lines through an intersection... Guiding lines may be yellow or white, depending on the colour of the lines they extend. Guiding lines mark the left side of the turning lane. When there are dual turning lanes, the guiding line must be placed between the two lanes so as to clearly delineate each lane. Guiding lines are broken, except when turning is mandatory, in which case the lines are solid. 1, record 2, English, - guiding%20line

A favourite manoeuvre in naval battle with fleets sailing in the normal battle disposition of line ahead. If a fleet in this disposition, either by a superiority of speed or by approaching at an angle, can cross ahead of the enemy's line approximately at right angles, it has a considerable tactical advantage in that all its guns can be fired on the broadside while the enemy can reply only with those guns which can fire ahead. It is also a tactical situation which forces an enemy to turn away, and in the resulting loss of speed during the turn and the difficulty of keeping guns bearing on an enemy while turning, the fleet "crossing the T" has a considerable gunnery advantage. 2, record 3, English, - crossing%20the%20T

Where you think the signal is strongest(or, better yet, midway between fade points), you simply make a perpendicular turn(90 degrees to the old direction) and follow this new line. If the signal fades, it's the wrong way, so turn around(180 degrees) and march in the other direction until you hear the strongest signal(remember to keep turning down the volume).

The 3000 adds humidity, dew point and heat stress index.... But for an all out weather station you can hold in the palm of your hand, the Kestrel 4000 provides all of this, in addition to wet bulb, altitude, air density and barometric pressure. Most importantly, 250 of these readings can be recorded in the device's memory and later transferred to the farm computer....

Elles peuvent être nécessaires pour permettre aux avions qui circulent de maintenir une marge prescrite par rapport aux autres aéronefs en stationnement sur l'aire de trafic. Ces lignes peuvent être jugées aussi importantes que les lignes de virage pour l'orientation de l'axe de l'avion dans la position finale prédéterminée.
