Les palans différentiels sont des palans à chaîne, dans lesquels le système réducteur est constitué par deux poulies à alvéoles de diamètres inégaux calées sur le même arbre, et dont le nombre d'alvéoles est différent. Ces deux poulies, qui forment la partie supérieure du palan, sont complétées par une poulie inférieure munie d'un crochet. La chaîne sans fin, qui sert à la fois de chaîne de manœuvre et de chaîne de levage, passe une fois sur la grande poulie du haut, une fois sur la poulie du bas, remonte sur la petite poulie du haut, et se termine en bouche pendante, dont l'un des brins attaque la grande poulie du haut. 3, record 5, French, - palan%20diff%C3%A9rentiel

The Aztec word for a spear throwing stick device. 4, record 9, English, - atlatl
Record number: 9, Textual support number: 1 OBS
This projectile propulsion device preceded the bow and arrow. In general, a wooden or bone stick or board with a hand grip at one end and a spur or hook at the other end. The atlatl is used as an extension of the arm in throwing a spear or dart. The spear shaft is socketed and fits into the spur or hook of the Atlatl. Essentially the Atlatl lengthens the length of the spear thrower's arm and with loaded, spring-like, motion can provide the benefit of greater force and distance over that of the hand thrown spear. It is hypothesized that sometimes a stone weight(s)(a. k. a. : Bannerstone, Birdstone, Boatstone) was attached to the Atlatl to provide better balance or to load the device with a spring or bending effect or to diminish the "whoosh" noise created during the throwing process. 4, record 9, English, - atlatl

L'atlatl a servi pendant très longtemps à lancer les javelots des chasseurs ou des guerriers. Encore maintenant, ce propulseur mécanique reste utilisé par les chasseurs de l'Alaska et d'Australie. Les hommes installent une extrémité de leur lance dans la planche juste avant de l'envoyer, pour multiplier leur force et donc la vitesse de la lance dans l'air. Grâce à l'atlatl, les lances atteignent des vitesses de 100 km/h sur une distance de 200 mètres. 1, record 9, French, - atlatl
