A huge hammer mill, with rapidly rotating hammers, strikes the flattened automobile and continually shears and compresses the scrap material until it is small enough to pass through sizing grates. 4, record 1, English, - car%20shredder

An automobile... is often recycled when it reaches the end of its useful life. Flattened car hulks are fed to an automobile shredder, which is a hammer mill that tears the car apart to produce a uniformly sized supply of secondary metal about the size of baseballs. Approximately 3/4 of each car hulk is metal which is separated into ferrous and nonferrous components for recycling. The remaining 1/4 is residue consisting of plastics, glass, fabric, rubber, and paint among other items, commonly called "Automotive Shredder Residue(ASR) "or "fluff. " 6, record 4, English, - fluff

Environ 12 millions d'automobiles et de camions légers sont recyclés annuellement en Amérique du Nord et la plus grande partie des métaux ferreux et non ferreux qu'ils contiennent sont récupérés. Alors que le taux de recyclage des métaux atteint presque 95 %, les matériaux non métalliques, soit les plastiques, le caoutchouc, le verre et les tissus, se retrouvent sous la forme d'un sous-produit, communément appelé résidus de déchiquetage des automobiles (RDA) ou «fluff». Les RDA sont un mélange hétérogène constitué d'environ 50 % de matériaux combustibles et de 50 % d'éléments non combustibles. Puisqu'il n'est présentement pas rentable de séparer les RDA en leurs composantes, ils sont tous enfouis dans des dépotoirs. 3, record 4, French, - r%C3%A9sidus%20de%20d%C3%A9chiquetage%20de%20carcasses%20de%20v%C3%A9hicules%20automobiles

Notice that there is no knob to set the heading of the DG [directional gyro] to match that of the compass. Why? Because it is slaved. Slaved? Back in the tailcone of the aircraft, away from all ferrous metal, is a magnetic compass. The output of this compass is electrically "enhanced" and amplified through a "flux gate"... This signal is fed to the HSI to drive the DG portion of the unit. What this means is that the reading is very accurate, not subject to the vagrancies of the regular magnetic compass, and is constantly being corrected for drift. On some aircraft, this signal is also used to slave the ADF heading card. 2, record 8, English, - corrected%20for%20drift

Chaudière basse pression et haute pression. Le chauffage est dit basse pression si la pression de vapeur au départ de la chaudière ne dépasse pas 3 000 mm CE (0,3 bar). En réalité, la pression de vapeur, d'autant plus élevée que l'installation est plus étendue dans le sens horizontal, atteint rarement cette limite (pour 30 m : 500 mm CE, pour 200 m : 1 000 mm CE). 3, record 16, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20%C3%A0%20basse%20pression

Nitruration gazeuse. Pratique.-La nitruration consiste à soumettre l'acier à l'action d'un courant d'ammoniac gazeux; celui-ci se dissocie partiellement grâce à la présence de fer (catalyseur), et l'azote naissant est absorbé superficiellement par le métal à l'état (alpha), alors que l'hydrogène se dégage. 1, record 17, French, - nitruration%20gazeuse
