To avoid having a large number of dimensions extending away from the part, arrowless or ordinate dimensioning may be used... In this system, the "zero" lines represent the vertical and horizontal datum lines, and each of the dimensions shown without arrowheads indicates the distance from the zero line... Arrowless dimensioning is particularly useful when such features are produced on a general-purpose machine, such as a jig borer, a tape-controlled drill, or a turret-type press. 3, record 4, English, - arrowless%20dimensioning

... two scientists at Imperial College, London, have perfected a system by which a flame in a spacecraft can be safely used for cutting, welding and even cooking. The genius of their discovery is that, until now, it has been difficult to keep a flame burning in zero gravity.... Prof. Felix Weinberg and Dr Fred Carleton have built a simple machine called an "electro-gas dynamic chimney", which creates the effect of a draught that enables the flame to keep burning. 1, record 18, English, - electro%2Dgas%20dynamic%20chimney

Équivalent proposé par André Sénécal, traducteur à la Technique centrale. On parle de "voyant", car le dispositif en question ne saurait être autre chose qu'une lampe-témoin ou un voyant. Le terme "switch" n'a rien d'un interrupteur: il signifie tout simplement que lorsque le régime va baisser sous un point critique, un contact va s'établir, de façon que l'opérateur puisse en être averti. Quant au terme "speed", il est traduit ici par "régime" (qui s'exprime en tours/minute et s'applique à un moteur), plutôt que par "vitesse" (qui s'exprime par exemple en m/h et s'applique à des corps ou véhicules en mouvement) ou par "rotation" (qui s'exprime également en tours/minute, mais s'applique à des arbres mécaniques). Le terme "zero" en anglais ne signifie pas ici que le régime est nul, mais qu'il passe en dessous d'un niveau déterminé. 1, record 21, French, - voyant%20d%27avertissement%20de%20bas%20r%C3%A9gime
