Jobe's Test. The arm is held in the scapular plane, not directly in front or out to the side, but at a comfortable angle, as if pouring out a can of pop(about 30 degrees from full extension). If holding the pouring position is painful it is because the greater tuberosity is being driven up against the acromion, a positive Jobe's test for impingement. At the same time, since this is a position of strength, push down on the arm to test for any weakness. 1, record 2, English, - Jobe%26rsquo%3Bs%20test

The matchlock constituted the first mechanical device for firing.(...) For this improvement(...) two modifications of the hand cannon were necessary : the addition of a pan to hold the priming powder, which replaced the match in setting off the powder charge inside the barrel, and the addition of the serpentine, holding the match and thus freeing the hand of the shooter or his aide. These original matchlocks did not as yet include the leverage system worked by a trigger and indeed did, not have true "locks". Instead, the serpentine was a simple S-shaped arm pivoted in its center, the lower end serving as a handle by which the shooter moved the device manually. 1, record 3, English, - match

L'ensemble constitué par deux bras d'ébranchage peut être désigné par le terme pince d'ébranchage. La pince d'ébranchage joue parfois un double rôle. En effet, il arrive qu'elle soit jumelée à une autre pince, l'une retenant l'arbre pendant que l'autre l'ébranche sur une certaine longueur, puis les deux pinces inversant leur rôle, la première ébranchant l'arbre pendant que la seconde le retient. La pince sera alors désignée tour à tour par les termes pince d'ébranchage et pince de retenue (en anglais : holding/limbing arms). 1, record 16, French, - pince%20de%20retenue
