Poultry slaughter in larger operations, the birds are suspended by the leg on solid wire shackles attached to a conveyor system taking them to the various workstations. The birds are stunned prior to bleeding and then passed through either scalding water or a steam tunnel and through rotating devices with rubber scrubbers to remove feathers. 2, record 1, English, - poultry%20slaughter

Lors de l'abattage des volailles dans de grandes opérations, les oiseaux sont suspendus par une patte à de solides crochets en fer attachés à un convoyeur les transportant d'un poste de travail à l'autre. Les oiseaux sont assommés avant d'être saignés, puis ils sont ébouillantés ou passent dans un tunnel de vapeur, et sont plumés avec des engins à brosses rotatives. 2, record 1, French, - abattage%20de%20volailles

Series Circuits. In series circuits all the caps are hooked up together to provide a single path for the current; one leg wire of one cap is connected to one from another cap, the other from the second cap to one from a third cap, and so on until all caps are included in the circuit. The two free ends are connected by lead wires to a blasting machine or other source of power. It is a simple and quick method of hooking up a number of blasting caps and has the advantage that the whole circuit can be tested with a blasting galvanometer. 2, record 2, English, - series%20circuit

Circuits en séries. Des circuits en séries sont constitués d'un groupe d'amorces raccordées les unes aux autres formant ainsi un seul sentier pour le courant. Les connexions se font en reliant la tige d'une amorce à celle d'une autre amorce; l'autre tige de la deuxième amorce est reliée à celle d'une troisième amorce et ainsi de suite, jusqu'à inclusion de toutes les amorces dans le circuit. Les extrémités libres sont raccordées à la ligne de tir allant à l'exploseur ou à une autre source de courant. Le raccord des amorces de cette façon comporte une méthode simple et rapide qui offre en plus l'avantage d'une vérification complète du circuit au moyen d'un galvanomètre. 1, record 2, French, - circuit%20en%20s%C3%A9rie
