A device to measure temperature making use of the thermoelectric effect, i.e., when two dissimilar conductors are joined together at their ends, a voltage proportional to the temperature difference between the junctions is developed.  2, record 3, English, - thermocouple

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The thermocouple is often used as a temperature measuring device as it can be used over a very wide temperature range, and also as it is a conveniently usable device which can give temperatures at a very small point, and present readings at a considerable distance away if necessary.  3, record 3, English, - thermocouple

Les mesures de température par thermocouple font appel à des mesures simples de type potentiométrique ou galvanométrique; dans ce dernier cas il est cependant préférable d'étalonner le thermocouple avec l'ensemble de ses fils de jonction afin d'éviter une erreur systématique due notamment à la présence de thermocouples parasites au niveau des soudures.  6, record 3, French, - thermocouple

A calibrated device developed by Parshall for measuring the flow of liquid in an open conduit. It consists essentially of a contracting length, a throat, and an expanding length. At the throat is a sill over which the flow passes at Belanger's critical depth. The upper and lower heads are each measured at a definite distance from the sill.  4, record 6, English, - Parshall%20flume

The British device is described officially as a Laser True Airspeed System(LATAS) ;it might be more accurate to call it a "potential" or "future" airspeed measuring system, since its function is to advise the pilot what his airspeed will be when he traverses a zone located a short distance ahead of his current position at any given moment. Normally this distance is in the 500-600 m range, far enough ahead at normal approach speeds of 360-450 km/h(200-250kn) to give the pilot some four to six seconds warning to recognize an impending change in true airspeed [due to turbulence] and to take any necessary corrective action.  1, record 9, English, - Laser%20True%20Airspeed%20System

Le dispositif britannique est officiellement appelé "Laser True Airspeed System" ou LATAS (système laser de mesure de la vitesse propre), mais il serait sans doute plus exact de le considérer comme un système de mesure de la vitesse propre "possible" ou "future", puisque son rôle est d'indiquer au pilote quelle sera la vitesse de l'avion lorsqu'il traversera une zone située à une faible distance de la position du moment. Normalement, cette distance sera de l'ordre de 500 à 600 m, ce qui, aux vitesses normales d'approche (360 à 450 km/h), devrait avertir le pilote quatre à six secondes à l'avance des modifications imminentes de la vitesse propre et lui permettre de prendre les mesures correctives nécessaires.  1, record 9, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20laser%20de%20mesure%20de%20la%20vitesse%20propre
