English

Subject field(s)
  • Small Arms
CONT

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.

Le tireur pouvait ainsi tenir son arme des deux mains et faire feu en agissant avec le doigt.

DEF

A procedure forbidding further adjournment of debate on any motion or on any stage of a bill and requiring that the motion come to a vote at the end of the sitting in which it is invoked.

CONT

Mr. Frist's proposed solution is to change the procedure under which debate ends and a vote is taken, a process known as "cloture. "He would amend Senate Rule XXII so that the number of votes needed to end a filibuster would fall from 60 to 57 to 54 to 51 on successive votes. This would preserve the essential purpose of the filibuster--which is to give the minority a chance to make their case--but not let them abuse the system by holding confirmable nominees hostage forever. Georgia Democrat Zell Miller made an even more ambitious reform proposal in the Wall Street Journal in March, when he called for new cloture rules for nominations and legislation--not just nominations, as Mr. Frist proposes. Mr. Miller's proposal was in turn based on one in 1995 by Democrats Tom Harkin and Joseph Lieberman.

  • Rabbit Farming
CONT

Even the smallest rabbittry benefits from an automatic or semi-automatic system. The simplest watering system is semi-automatic. You fill a holding tank(perhaps just a large bucket) elevated above the hutches, and the water flows down through pipes alongside the cages. Valves are inserted into the pipe at each cage. The rabbits bite on the valves to release the water. There are two types of valves. The "dewdrop" valve has a metal stem in it which is dislodged when bit or licked. This allows the water to trickle through. After a rabbit has stopped drinking, the stem drops back into the valve opening and is held in place by the water pressure.
