One ... method of application akin to dipping is flooding on, where articles such as radiators and transformers, are suspended over a drain tray and hosed with paint pumped from a storage tank. The hose is manually operated, and hosing is continued until the article is completely covered. Surplus paint collecting in the drain tray is pumped back to the storage tank via a filter (Source of terms and context: W. H. Tatton and E. W. Drew: Industrial Paint Application, London, Nevones and Butterworth, 1971, pp. 18 and 263). 1, record 4, English, - flooding%20on

Le procédé par "ruissellement" ou "arrosage" est une variante des procédés au trempé classiques, utilisable pour des pièces volumineuses et fixes. C'est alors la pièce qui est arrosée par la peinture, qui s'écoule dans un bac où elle est recueillie et réutilisée. C'est un procédé rudimentaire appelé parfois procédé "à la casserole" car c'est en fait cet instrument qui sert à arroser la pièce. 1, record 4, French, - proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9%20par%20arrosage

A type of map projection introduced by A. Peters in 1973. It is a modified version of the "cylindrical equal area projection." The usual grid of 180 meridians and 180 parallels is replaced by a decimal degree network dividing the globe both E and W and N and S into 100 fields without losing accuracy of direction. 2, record 5, English, - Peters%26rsquo%3Bs%20projection
