A thermograph is a recording thermometer. Usually configured with a pen that records temperature on a revolving cylinder. The pen is at the end of a lever that is controlled by a bi-metal strip of temperature-sensitive metal which bends as the temperature changes. 5, record 2, English, - thermograph
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The thermometric element is most commonly either a bimetal strip or a Bourdon tube filled with a liquid. In the first case the bimetal element has the form of a helical coil with one end rigidly fastened to the instrument and the other to the recording pen. In the second case the tube is made with an elliptical cross section so that an expression of the liquid caused by a temperature increase will cause the radius or curvature of the bend to increase, thus moving the instrument pen, which is fastened to the tip of the tube. A resistance thermometer and a thermoelectric thermometer may be converted into thermographs if provision is made to record their output. 6, record 2, English, - thermograph

All the elastic components of GERB spring elements are made from helical springs with one or more spiral... The load-bearing capacity of the standard GERB steel spring elements goes up to 3200 kg for each element. The frequency in the direction of vertical vibration is about 1. 8-6 Hz. The GERB elements insulate machinery, and function as shock absorbers in all directions without blocking the six degrees of freedom... GERB steel spring elements are suitable for the support of :-Power station machinery(turbo-generators, blowers, coal pulverisers, boiler pumps, diesel engines) and pipelines;-Forge hammers, presses, machine tools, crushers, compressors and testing stands;-Precision machinery of every type such as laser equipment, testing machines, roll grinders, microscopes;-Buildings or parts of buildings. They are also used as oscillation dampers in the construction of bridges. 3, record 3, English, - spring%20box

Les éléments de suspension des boîtes à ressort GERB sont constitués d'un ou de plusieurs ressorts hélicoïdaux. [...] En exécution standard, les boîtes à ressort GERB sont disponibles pour des charges maximales de 3200 kg par unité. Leur fréquence propre d'oscillation verticale est comprise en 1,8 et 6 Hz. Les éléments GERB permettent une isolation vibratoire de machines avec effet amortissant sur trois axes, sans blocage des six degrés de liberté de la masse monobloc oscillante. [...] Les boîtes à ressort GERB permettent de réaliser les appuis élastiques de : - machines de centrales de force motrice, souffleries, broyeurs à charbon, pompes de chaudière, moteurs diesel ainsi que les suspensions pour tuyauterie; - forges, presses, machines-outils, concasseurs, compresseurs et bancs d'essai; - machines de précision en tout genre (par ex. installations à laser, machines de test, machines à rectifier les cylindres, microscopes); - bâtiments ou éléments de bâtiments et ponts. 2, record 3, French, - bo%C3%AEte%20%C3%A0%20ressorts

In a single-crystal blade casting the first element to solidify is a "starter block" attached to the root of the [turbine] blade by a narrow helical passage in the mould. The helical passage obstructs the growth of multiple crystal boundaries, with the result that the blade is formed from a single crystal. This crystal propagates in two halves around the strong-back. The two halves of the blade can then be joined by a process called "transient liquid phase" bonding, in which the halves are mated around a foil "gasket" of the same alloy as the blade--coated with boron to reduce its melting point--and joined under pressure. The gasket and the thin layer of metal immediately adjacent to it melt, the boron dissipates completely and the part solidifies while still under pressure. As far as can be ascertained, the join produced by this means in a single-crystal blade is effectively perfect. 1, record 6, English, - gasket

Dans le procédé de coulée des aubes à structure mono-cristalline, le premier élément solidifié est un «bloc de démarrage» relié à la base de l'aube par un étroit passage hélocoïdal pratiqué dans le moule. Ce passage empêche la formation de joints multiples entre les cristaux, ce qui fait que l'aube est formée d'un seul cristal. Ce cristal se propage en deux moitiés autour de la pièce de renforcement. Les deux moitiés de l'aube sont ensuite scellées au moyen d'un procédé appelé «transient liquid phase», qui consiste à assembler les deux moitiés autour d'une feuille du même alliage que l'aube -- feuille qui est revêtue de bore pour abaisser son point de fusion -- et à les assembler ensuite sous pression. La feuille d'alliage et la fine couche de métal qui la touche entrent en fusion, le bore se dissipe complètement et la pièce se solidifie alors qu'elle est toujours sous pression. 1, record 6, French, - feuillage%20d%27alliage
