Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Wheelbarrowing is a condition that arises when the nosewheel rather than the main gear is forced to support an abnormal share of the aircraft's weight. Touching down on the nosewheel, excessive braking, or friction between the wheels and runway caused by a side-skid may cause wheelbarrowing. Wheelbarrowing can damage a nosewheel or cause an aircraft to yaw uncontrollably off its intended course.. 2, record 5, English, - wheelbarrowing
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
During take-off, "wheelbarrowing" may occur at lower speeds than during landing due to the slipstream increasing the lifting effect of the horizontal stabilizer. The use of excessive forward elevator control pressure during take-off to hold the aircraft on the ground to speeds above normal take-off speed could, if a "yaw" force is introduced, result in serious wheelbarrowing. 3, record 5, English, - wheelbarrowing

Le brouettage se produit lorsque le train avant plutôt que le train principal, est forcé de supporter une portion excessive de la masse de l'avion. Toucher le sol du train avant, un freinage exagéré, ou le frottement entre les roues et la piste causé par un dérapage peuvent se traduire par du brouettage. Le brouettage peut causer des dommages au train avant ou faire bifurquer l'avion. 2, record 5, French, - brouettage
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Pendant le décollage, le «brouettage» peut se produire à des vitesses plus faibles qu'au cours de l'atterrissage puisque le souffle de l'hélice augmente la portance du stabilisateur. Pendant le décollage, si le pilote pousse excessivement sur le manche pour maintenir l'avion au sol à des vitesses supérieures à la vitesse de décollage normale et si une force en lacet apparaît, un grave brouettage risque de se présenter. 3, record 5, French, - brouettage

A mine locomotive operated by electricity drawn from overhead conductors. Small grooved wheels are held in contact with the conductors and the current passes down a trolley arm to the motor. It is very efficient where heavy loads are hauled up relatively steep gradients. In British coal mines, their use is restricted to approved intake airways not nearer than 274 metres to a working face. Their high cost and stringent conditions of use have discouraged their more rapid application. 5, record 11, English, - trolley%20locomotive
