The Dines Pressure Tube Anemometer is universally recognised as the most reliable and accurate instrument of its kind and has been adopted as standard by the British Meteorological Office and by meteorological stations world-wide. Dines Pressure Tube Anemometer consists essentially of a Head Assembly, a Velocity Recorder and a Direction Recorder, the IM100 records wind speed and wind direction simultaneously on a single chart. An important feature of the Dines, is that it records not only average wind velocity over a given time, but also variations in wind force, with the strength and frequency of gusts, providing valuable data on the internal structure of the wind. 2, record 13, English, - Dines%20anemometer
Record number: 13, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The suction head is mounted concentrically with the shaft, near the bearing that supports the vane, and develops a suction that is independent of wind direction. The pressure difference between the suction head and the pressure head is proportional to the square root of the wind speed and is measured by a specially designed float manometer with a linear wind scale. 3, record 13, English, - Dines%20anemometer
Record number: 13, Textual support number: 3 CONT
The Dines anemometer was first described by William Henry Dines in 1892 and had all the essentials of the final form of the pressure-tube anemometer. With various modifications, the Dines anemometer remained a useful wind measuring device into the 1960s. 3, record 13, English, - Dines%20anemometer

... the nailing of wooden shingles and slates are entirely different. The heads of slating nails should just touch the slate and should not be driven "home" or draw the slate, but left with the heads just clearing the slate hangs on the nail. The opposite is true of wooden shingles and a man used to laying this material will invariably handle slate in the same way. As a consequence the slate, held too rigidly in place, is shattered around the nail hole, or the head of the nail crushed and eventually the slate may "ride" up over the nail and be blown off in a heavy wind... The temptation to use shingle nails instead of slating nails should be discouraged, for the slight saving in cost on the entire roof cannot approach the cost of repairs which may develop as a result of this practice. 2, record 22, English, - slate%20nail

Parotid glands. The largest of the main pairs of salivary glands, located on either side of the head, just behind the jaw and below the ears. From each gland a duct, the parotid duct, runs forward across the cheek(carnivores and small ruminants) or runs on the inside of the jaw to wind around the ventral border of the jaw to the cheek(pig, horse and ox) and opens on the inside surface of the cheek generally opposite the upper molars, the precise location depending on the species. 3, record 26, English, - parotid%20duct

The aerodrome must be designed to accommodate aeroplane operations under most normal wind conditions. A tail wind on one runway is a head wind on a runway with a reciprocal heading. Runway lengths increase with tail wind, so when using the bidirectional runway concept(i. e. theoretically utilizing a head wind for all conditions in establishing runway length), the zero-wind condition is critical for both take-off and landing. 1, record 29, English, - bidirectional%20runway%20concept

La longueur de piste augmente avec le vent arrière, aussi lorsque l'on emploie la notion de piste bidirectionnelle (c'est-à-dire en utilisant théoriquement un vent debout dans toutes les circonstances pour établir la longueur de piste), c'est la condition de vent nul qui est critique tant pour le décollage que pour l'atterrissage. 1, record 29, French, - notion%20de%20piste%20bidirectionnelle

Dynamic stationing is the technology of maintaining a vessel' s position by means of thrust. The S-445, when dynamically stationed, has complete freedom to head into prevailing wind, waves or currents thereby reducing the size thrust necessary to hold the vessel on station and also improving the ship's motion characteristics. 1, record 30, English, - hold%20on%20station
