The pressure pillow snow gage is a mechanical-hydraulic system that weighs the snow. It is circular in shape, usually 12 ft in diameter,... made of rubber material. It is filled with a solution of antifreeze and water to a thickness of 3-4 in. As the snow falls and covers the pillow, pressure inside the pillow is increased because of the weight of the snow.  2, record 1, English, - snow%20pillow

Tin plate is now sold both on a weight per unit area basis and on a thickness basis. The old unit of area is the base box, equal to the area of 112 sheets, 14 by 20 inches, or 31 360 square inches(217. 78 square feet). The new unit of thickness is the millimetre and the corresponding area designation for pricing and weight or area calculations is the SITA(System International Tin Plate Area) which equals 100 square metres or 4. 9426 base boxes.... The use of symbols to designate gage was displaced by the use of base weights(or basis weights) expressed in pounds per base box that also indicated the approximate thickness of the tin-mill product... With the recent introduction of the metric system(SI) in production, gage is the basic unit for specification and area becomes only a derived value for commercial usage.  2, record 2, English, - base%20box

Tinplate sheets used to manufacture cans and boxes were originally packed into wooden boxes in order to protect the polished tin surface. Sheets cut to 35 cm X 50 cm (14 X 20 in) and of 0.3 mm thickness weighed approx. 454 g (1 lb) and 112 were packed into a box, known as the "basis box". Variation in thickness of sheet cut to the same size would vary the weight, and larger sizes were made, although these were then called "tinned sheets". Modern production techniques favour reeling into rools for shipment, and protection with interleaving of paper or plastic where necessary.  3, record 2, English, - base%20box

A tipping bucket rain gage consists of a funnel and a rocker mechanism with two little "buckets" on it, located underneath the funnel. When rain falls into the funnel, it fills one of the little buckets on the rocker mechanism. Once a given amount of rain falls into the funnel, usually 0.01 inches, the rocker "tips" over, emptying one of the buckets and moving the other one underneath the funnel. A recorder in the gage records each tip and the time it occurred. The tipping bucket gage has its disadvantages, however. It cannot be used in freezing weather because the mechanism or the funnel hole can freeze solid. Sometimes the tipper mechanism doesn’t work or double tips.  2, record 3, English, - weighing%20and%20tipping%20bucket%20gauge

Weighing Gage. This type of gage consists of an antifreeze-filled collection bucket mounted on top of a scale. As rain, snow, hail, or any type of precipitation falls into the collecting bucket, the bucket becomes heavier. The antifreeze is there to allow the liquid content for frozen precipitation to be measured. Every few minutes, a recorder attached to the scale records the weight of the bucket contents. Since the size of the bucket, the weight of antifreeze, and the density of water are known, a precipitation amount can be measured from the weight of the bucket.  2, record 3, English, - weighing%20and%20tipping%20bucket%20gauge

jauge : En tricotage, unité de mesure correspondant au nombre d'aiguilles dans un pouce de fonture. Pouce = inch = 25,4 mm. Fonture : pièce supportant les aiguilles à tricoter. Le nombre des aiguilles dans un pouce est déterminant quant à l'espace existant entre deux aiguilles et, par voie de conséquence, la grosseur du fil à tricoter. Il y a ainsi une relation directe entre le no de la jauge et la finesse du tricot. Exemple : un gros tricot pour pull de montagne sera fait sur métier à tricoter de jauge 5, un sous-vêtement en interlock avec une jauge 20.  3, record 7, French, - jauge%20fin
