Guiding lines are an extension of lane lines through an intersection... Guiding lines may be yellow or white, depending on the colour of the lines they extend. Guiding lines mark the left side of the turning lane. When there are dual turning lanes, the guiding line must be placed between the two lanes so as to clearly delineate each lane. Guiding lines are broken, except when turning is mandatory, in which case the lines are solid. 1, record 2, English, - guiding%20line

Mais un peu d'eau n'est rien à côté de ce qui attend les pauvres petites pommes : le pénétromètre. Le fruit est placé sur un capteur, sous une machine qui ressemble un peu à une perceuse. À la place de la mêche, on trouve soit une tige, soit une plaque. La tige descend doucement, quelques centimètres par minute et s'enfonce dans le fruit en transperçant d'abord la peau puis la chair. Le capteur mesure la force nécessaire pour traverser ces différentes couches. La tige peut être remplacée par une plaque. Dans ce cas, on mesure alors les forces nécessaires pour comprimer les fruits sur quelques (en général entre 2 et 5 % selon les fruits étudiés) pourcents de leur diamètre. 3, record 3, French, - test%20du%20p%C3%A9n%C3%A9trom%C3%A8tre

A test strip was produced by adsorbing the enzyme reagent, glucose oxidase, peroxidase and a chromogen, on to a paper(cellulose) pad. The pad containing the dried reagents is cemented to the end of a plastic strip and responds with a colour change when wetted with a solution containing glucose such as urine or blood. The development of test strips for the determination of glucose in whole blood and serum has made blood assay almost as simple as the detection of urine glucose. In this case the reagent pad is treated with ethyl cellulose which forms a membrane through which small molecules can readily diffuse, but the presence of the coating prevents cells from being adsorbed on the cellulose fibres and allows them to be washed away. 2, record 13, English, - test%20strip
