It is important to prevent wear of contact strip by arc during current collection and corrugate trolley wires. It is a key subject to ensure dynamic stability of the system for speed-up. For this purpose, the strength of trolley wire has been increased. Improvement of anti-arc properties and reduction of weight of sliders are also useful. For those purposes, high strength composite contact wires, high strength precipitation hardened copper alloy contact wires and metallized carbon sliders have been developed. Efforts are required to find an optimum combination of contact wire and slider materials. 2, record 9, English, - anti%2Darc

((Metering and blending of furnishes)) The machine chest typically contains the final furnish mixture, although in some instances, small concentrations of additives may be added just prior to the headbox. The machine chest stock(at 2. 6-2. 8 % consistency) is continuously circulated to a constant head tank(stuff box) which feeds the stock through a control valve(called the "basis weight valve") into the paper machine approach system. Here, the stock is combined with circulating white water from the wire pit, and the consistency is dramatically reduced to the level(typically 1 % or less) required at the headbox. 1, record 16, English, - basis%20weight%20valve
