Les parois des boîtes de bois cintré sont confectionnées au moyen d'un seul morceau de bois, typiquement du cèdre. La technique de cintrage du bois pour créer une boîte imperméable est originaire de la côte du Nord-Ouest et elle continue d'être utilisée de nos jours. Les boîtes de bois cintré sont créées par des ébénistes d'expérience, qui possèdent les connaissances mathématiques et les compétences nécessaires pour entailler le bois avec précision, le soumettre à la vapeur et aligner les coins de la boîte. 1, record 2, French, - bo%C3%AEte%20de%20bois%20cintr%C3%A9

Chaque année, avant la fermeture de la frontière, le Québec importait des milliers de paquets d'abeilles du sud des États-Unis. Depuis, un nombre beaucoup plus restreint nous provient exclusivement de l'Australie et de la Nouvelle-Zélande. Ces paquets servent à partir de nouvelles colonies, on les commande alors avec une reine. On les utilise parfois pour renforcer des colonies faibles, ils arrivent alors sans reine. Nous devons faire venir ces paquets pour les raisons suivantes : la production d'abeilles à partir des colonies existantes ne suffit pas aux besoins des apiculteurs; de plus, notre printemps tardif ne permet pas de produire de reines à temps pour une ponte hâtive, l'accouplement ne pouvant se faire avant la mi-mai. 3, record 3, French, - abeilles%20en%20paquet

Pallet collar is an extremely useful product in storage and transportation business because it enables to utilize 100% of single pallet’s volume and allowed maximum load. Rigid materials give full protection for the goods inside the packaging and enable to detach each collar separately from the packaging, according to the discharge speed. Pallet collars are foldable and take just a little space when not in use. Pallet collars are produced of Estonian timber and Swedish steel hinges. Pallet collars are used as transportation packaging both in local and export transportation. Using pallet collars as a strong packaging is the best way to organize material handling. Pallet collar is long lasting and reusable packaging. 6, record 4, English, - pallet%20collar

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 6, 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 6, English, - base%20box

A saltbox is a building with a long, pitched roof that slopes down to the back, generally a wooden frame house. A saltbox has just one story in the back and two stories in the front. The flat front and central chimney are recognizable features, but the asymmetry of the unequal sides and the long, low rear roof line are the most distinctive features of a saltbox, which takes its name from its resemblance to a wooden lidded box in which salt was once kept. 3, record 9, English, - saltbox%20house

More a building shape than a building style, the saltbox takes its name from a sloping gable roof that gives the house the shape of a wooden box used to store salt in Colonial times, like the reproduction of a 1770s saltbox by Replitiques. The saltbox house is formed by a one-story addition across the rear of a 1-1/2 or 2-story building. Initially an easy method of enlarging a house, it eventually became an accepted building form, particularly in New England after 1680. The style was common in New England before 1830, and it remained popular in other parts of the country until the late 1800s. A variation of early Colonial or Cape Cod style houses, the practical and simple saltbox was often a single room deep. Given that often a dozen or more people crowded into these early homes, colonists soon began looking for practical ways to expand living space. 1, record 9, English, - saltbox%20house

Il arrive souvent que les entreprises combinent des produits ou services de façon à offrir aux consommateurs de meilleurs prix, des incitations ou des conditions plus favorables. En constituant de tels ensembles, elles sont en mesure de proposer leurs produits et services à un prix plus bas. Une chaîne de restauration rapide peut offrir, par exemple, un repas combiné comprenant un hamburger, des frites et une boisson et demander pour l'ensemble un prix inférieur aux prix total de ces mets achetés séparément. 1, record 12, French, - repas%20combin%C3%A9

L'abri de Stevenson est réalisé en bois peint en blanc pour mieux réfléchir les rayons solaires. Il est installé à 1,5 m du sol pour diminuer autant que possible l'influence du sol. L'ouverture de l'abri est dirigée vers le nord pour éviter le rayonnement solaire sur les thermomètres lors de l'ouverture des portes, ce qui pourrait fausser les relevés. Les clayettes inclinées permettent une bonne circulation d'air autour des instruments de mesure tout en empêchant les rayons solaires de pénétrer à l'intérieur. On peut retrouver dans ce genre d'abri les thermomètres maxima-minima, les thermomètres sec et humide, les baromètres, les hygromètres, [les psychromètres, etc.] L'abri a été inventé en 1864 par l'ingénieur T.
