Heading rapid alignment. In trying to achieve the highest possible torquing rates during rapid and main align, the DG [directional gyro] is unconventionally torqued at the azimuth axis. The movement of the DG sensitive axis is restricted to [plus or minus] 1 degree in the pick-off torquer, Microsyn, by a hard stop. When the torque is applied, the sensitive axis locks at its limits of [plus or minus] 1 degree and effectively assists in positioning the azimuth gimbal.

Sous le terme générique anglais de «drift» qui s'applique exclusivement à des galeries creusées dans la direction du gisement (en français «traçage»), on regroupe toute la variété des galeries : voie de fond, voie de niveau, galerie en direction, galerie de roulage, etc. Pour simplifier les choses, nous n'établirons qu'une seule différence générale entre galerie (drift) et travers-banc (cross-cut). Le travers-banc (cross-cut) désigne une coupe en travers du gisement; son rôle, en recoupant la veine, est essentiellement d'établir la connexion entre les voies de roulage de niveau creusées dans le gisement. Le travers-banc sert également dans les travaux de recherches ou de prospection. La galerie (drift), creusée dans le gisement d'après son vrai sens de galerie en direction ou de niveau, a une triple fonction : a) elle sert de base à l'exploitation des chantiers (stopes); b) elle est utilisée comme voie de roulage [...]; c) elle sert aussi subsidiairement comme voie de recherches dans les travaux de prospection. 2, record 10, French, - galerie%20d%27avancement%20en%20direction
