The face flange was parallel to the bulwark and had a pad-eye and a lug welded to it, which were used for securing blocks during fishing operations. Of the two rigging attachments, the one near the upper end was a lug and the other... was a pad-eye. The general practice was to shackle the yo-yo block to the lower pad-eye and secure the safety chain to the upper lug. 3, record 1, English, - shackle

Truck hunting is wheel set oscillation caused by the dynamic response of a railway car truck when operating above certain speeds. The truck oscillates between the rails with hard flange contact occurring at regular intervals of 30 to 50 feet. Truck hunting occurs on tangent track and is more severe where the track is stiff and where CWR [continuous welded rail] is laid. It normally does not begin until around 45 to 50 mph in the case of cars with worn wheels, and 55 to 60 mph for cars with new wheels. 3, record 2, English, - truck%20hunting

[Connectors] take the form of steel projections welded to the top flange of the steel beam and around which the concrete slab is poured. The connectors perform a necessary function in the development of composite beam action, for without them the two elements, the concrete slab and the steel beam, would act separately as two beams and the beam action would be analogous to two unconnected wooden planks placed one on top of the other and slipping on each other when bent under a transverse load. 1, record 5, English, - shear%20connector

Cette dalle en béton armé a très longtemps été considérée comme indépendante de l'ossature et n'était pas prise en compte dans la résistance du tablier. La tendance très générale est maintenant de la faire intervenir dans la résistance, en même temps que l'acier. Il convient pour cela que la dalle ne puisse ni glisser, ni se soulever par rapport à l'ossature métallique à laquelle elle doit être solidement reliée par des éléments métalliques appelés connecteurs. 2, record 5, French, - connecteur
