The basic element for the knitting machine classification is the needle bed. The needle bed is the main part of a knitting machine and provides the platform for the movement of needles. It has cuts or grooves that provide the direction of movement to the knitting needles. This direction may be up and down or to and fro but could not be the lateral movement. The machine may be called single-bed or double-bed knitting machine on the basis of the number of needle beds. The single-bed knitting machine is also called the single-jersey knitting machine and the double-bed knitting machine is called the double-jersey knitting machine. 1, record 1, English, - double%2Dbed%20knitting%20machine

A radioisotope is a specific type of radioactive substance; a radioisotope is a radioactive isotope of an element. Its unstable atomic nucleus undergoes radioactive decay and emits alpha, beta or gamma rays. Most isotopes however are emitters of gamma rays only.

Rubanisation is a re-conceptualisation of human settlements in which the city and the countryside are considered as one space, not two as it is now - city and countryside are regarded as separate realms. Rubanisation stems from the belief that the continued consideration of the rural and the urban as two distinct realms is unsustainable in terms of social justice, cultural justice and environmental justice. This mode of thinking calls for a new spatial geometry of integrated development that offers real viable choices for living, one that is supported by environmentally sustainable technology and ethical lifestyle. 3, record 9, English, - rubanization

Rapid plows. The Loebbehobel is a rapid plow which is equipped with three or four protruding picks or bits. The plow is double-ended and cuts as it traverses in each direction along the face. The machine normally travels at a speed of about 75 ft/min and takes a slice of coal 3-4 in. thick off the face at each pass. It is pulled to and fro by an endless chain which is driven by the gearheads at each end of the armored conveyor. Maximum pulling force is about 20 tons. This machine is capable of working in seams 1 ft 8 in. thick up to 7 ft thick and can produce, load, and deliver to a gate conveyor from 1. 5 to 5 tons/min. The plow works well in seams which are soft or are hard but friable but will not work well in coal which is "tough" or "woody". 1, record 24, English, - rapid%20plow
