L'ouverture pivot : utiliser la bonne main. Effectuer une rotation. Il suffit d'ouvrir sa portière avec la main se situant à l'opposé de la porte (ouverture de la portière gauche avec la main droite, et de la portière droite avec la main gauche). Cette manœuvre, complémentaire à l'observation des rétroviseurs, assure intuitivement que l'angle mort soit systématiquement analysé et offre automatiquement un meilleur champ de vision pour détecter si une personne à vélo se dirige vers le véhicule. 4, record 1, French, - ouverture%20pivot

Hydraulic door opener. This manually-operated spreader is relatively lightweight. It consists of a hand pump and spreader device. The spreader has intermeshed teeth that can be easily slipped into a narrow opening such as between a door and a door frame. A few pumps of the handle cause the jaws of the spreader device to open, exerting pressure on the object to be moved. The pressure usually causes the locking mechanism or door to fail. 1, record 2, English, - hydraulic%20door%20opener

Écarteur de porte hydraulique. L'écarteur manuel est relativement léger. Il comporte une pompe à main et un écarteur. L'écarteur est muni de dents engrenantes qui peuvent facilement s'insérer dans une ouverture étroite telle que l'espace existant entre une porte et un cadre de porte. Quelques mouvements alternatifs de la poignée permettent d'ouvrir les mâchoires de l'écarteur qui exercent une pression sur l'objet à déplacer. Cette pression fait généralement céder le mécanisme de verrouillage ou la porte. 1, record 2, French, - %C3%A9carteur%20de%20porte%20hydraulique

The main entrance door is the primary means of aircraft access for passengers and crew. It consists of a door structure and an attached folding stairway with hand rails. The door and stairway must be unlocked and pushed out to initiate a controlled free-fall to the extended position. During closing, the stairway is unlocked and the door is retracted upward and inward by hydraulic pressure from the Auxiliary(AUX) hydraulic system. The door and stair operation accommodates any combination of landing gear strut and tire inflation. Its use requires no ground support equipment. 3, record 5, English, - folding%20stairway

Ovens can, of course, be hand loaded with pans or straps. This arduous task is accomplished by mechanical means in nearly all large volume shops, however. The principle of operation of loading devices is relatively simple. Pans move over roller conveyors form the final steam proofer to a point in front of the relatively oven loading door. Their momentum carries them onto a series of rollers at right angles to the previous conveyor and parallel to the oven door. When a series of pans the width of the tray or hearth has collected, they are pushed into the oven. A retractable metal bar prevents additional pans from coming onto the loading platform while the pusher bar is operating. 1, record 14, English, - loading%20device
