The newsboy cap... was first worn in the late 1800s and early 1900s by newspaper sellers. It's similar to a flat cap in that both are typically constructed from tweed and have a rounded, low profile and a small visor or brim. The largest distinction is that newsboy caps are puffier and baggier than a standard flat cap. Newsboy caps are sewn together with 8 panels on top that look like pizza slices and almost always have a button on top where the panels meet. 3, record 1, English, - newsboy%20cap

[La casquette gavroche] est différente de la casquette plate. En effet, elle est plus épaisse, plus ronde et elle possède une visière. D'autre part, elle est cousue d'une telle façon que l'on distingue 8 «panneaux» à l'œil nu. C'est ce qui fait sa particularité. 2, record 1, French, - casquette%20gavroche

It also contains a wrist bearing that is used to help the astronaut rotate his hand. On the opposite end of the glove are rubber finger caps. The scientists chose silicone rubber so that the astronauts could have some sense of touch when working with equipment and tools. Along the gloves are loops. Tethers connected to small tools can be latched onto the loops to prevent the items from floating off into space.

Les scientifiques ont choisi le silicone pour donner à l'astronaute un sens du toucher lorsqu'il travaille son équipement et ses outils. De petits anneaux sont [répartis] sur les gants afin d'y attacher de petits outils à l'aide de cordons. Ceci évite que les outils ne flottent librement dans l'espace.

Il existe de très nombreux modèles de culots. Pour les lampes d'éclairage général, il y a deux types en usage : le culot à baïonnette, à deux ergots, et le culot à vis, dit Edison. Ce dernier assure de meilleurs contacts électriques avec la douille que le culot à baïonnette, mais associé à certains modèles de douilles, il peut être dangereux pour les utilisateurs si l'on ne prend pas soin de relier au neutre le pöle de la douille constitué par la vis. 1, record 16, French, - culot%20%C3%A0%20vis%20Edison
