Contrairement aux barres de sécurité, les barres de support de palette (pallet support bars) sont conçues pour supporter à elles seules la charge dans le cas où la dimension, la résistance ou le type de palette utilisée empêchent de la déposer directement sur les lisses.

Elles doivent être également fixées aux lisses. 1, record 4, French, - barre%20de%20support%20de%20palette

[A chart where] each bar, circle, or symbol is given depth by the use of the third dimension.(...) The third dimension(depth) is used to improve the appearance of the chart and thus to draw more attention to the chart(...).

Record number: 9, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The term "three-dimensional chart" implies that the third dimension represents a third variable as in the stereogram or volume chart. Very often though, a chart is given a third dimension only to make it more attractive to the reader. It has no quantitative value. This type of three-dimensional chart is often distorted and misleading. 2, record 9, English, - three%2Ddimensional%20chart
