Circleheads are designed to fit in small horizontal flares or underneath roofs. In these places, a regular head will pull from one side, meaning that it’ll probably be levered out. A circlehead pulls evenly from both sides and therefore is more stable. 3, record 1, English, - circlehead

The principle of web formation on a cylinder former is virtually identical to that of a gravity decker.... A horizontal cylinder with a wire or plastic cloth surface rotates in a vat of dilute paper stock. Water associated with the stock drains through the mold and a layer of fibers is deposited on the cloth.... Because the mold rotates opposite to the direction of stock flow, a portion of deposited stock is continuously washed off the mold, resulting in flocced fiber bundles that contribute to "blotchy" formation. The sheet also has extreme directionality(fiber orientation) caused by the method of fiber deposition.(N. B. Directionality is usually measured by the ratio of tensile values obtained on machine-direction and cross-direction samples. Values of 5. 0 are typical for vat cylinder board, as compared to values below 2. 0 for fourdrinier papers.) 1, record 13, English, - directionality

On estime qu'environ 80 % des formes rondes existantes sont du type à contre-courant, [...] Comme la forme tourne en sens inverse de l'écoulement de la pâte, une partie de la suspension déjà déposée est détachée de la forme par chasse d'eau; on retrouve dans la suspension de petits amas de fibres floculées qui contribuent à la formation d'un épair nuageux. Cette méthode de dépôt des fibres donne des feuilles extrêmement orientées. (Nota : On mesure, d'ordinaire, l'orientation des papiers par le rapport des longueurs de rupture dans le sens marche et le sens travers. Pour les machines à forme ronde, on obtient des valeurs supérieures à 5,0, alors qu'elles sont inférieures à 2,0 sur les machines à table plate.) 1, record 13, French, - orientation

Precoat pressure filters consist of one or more leaves, plates, or tubes upon which a coat of diatomaceous earth or other filter aid is deposited to form a filtering surface for clarification.... The filtering elements may be screen-covered vertical rectangular leaves in a vertical cylindrical tank, screen-covered vertical circular leaves in a horizontal cylindrical tank, circular porous ceramic leaves, wire-wound cylindrical leaves, or hollow tubes of porous stone, porous carbon, wire cloth, or porous stainless-steel sheet. They may be fabric-covered. 1, record 15, English, - filtering%20element

Filtre à claies. Les claies sont constituées par des éléments de forme carrée, rectangulaire, ou circulaire. Elles baignent dans la solution à filtrer et sont placées dans un cylindre vertical ou horizontal en fonte, en chaudronné, ou encore en matière plastique. ... On commence par "alluvionner" le tissu filtrant avec une couche d'adjuvant approprié qui devient ainsi le véritable milieu filtrant (precoat). Pendant la filtration, l'assemblage des éléments filtrants est fixe, mais pour assurer, en temps opportun, le décolmatage, l'arbre creux est entraîné par un moteur électrique: pendant la rotation, les sédiments accumulés sont projetés, par la force centrifuge, sur la paroi interne de l'enceinte cylindrique. 2, record 15, French, - %C3%A9l%C3%A9ment%20filtrant

The "Enslin"(...) method [of induction profiling] employs a straight grounded-wire as the source. The horizontal component of the field which is tangential is measured along semi-circles about one of the electrodes. Measurements are not made near the wire in order to avoid the region of strong primary fields. The measurements can be made with conventional turam or radio reference equipment, or with other specialized equipment. 1, record 16, English, - Enslin%20method

[La] "méthode d'Enslin" [est une méthode de sondage électromagnétique,] conçue et mise au point par J.F. Enslin (1955) (...) [Cette méthode fait] l'emploi d'un câble relié au sol par deux électrodes ponctuelles et dans lequel circule un courant, alternatif. Le câble connecté à une génératrice de courant sert de source de champ magnétique primaire. La composante horizontale du champ résultant tangente à la surface du sol est mesurée le long de demi-cercles autour d'une des électrodes ponctuelles. On n'effectue pas de mesures le long de câble afin d'éviter la région des champs primaires de grande intensité. On effectue les mesures à l'aide d'une unité turam ou tout autre équipement spécialisé de ce genre. Le champ tangentiel résultant demeure constant suivant le demi-cercle autour de l'électrode ponctuelle si le sous-sol est homogène (...) 1, record 16, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20d%27Enslin

The transmitter loop is a large rectangle, several thousand feet to the side. A long wire might also be used. The detector consists of two mutually perpendicular loops, one horizontal and one vertical, connected effectively in opposition through a transformer to amplifier and headphones. The vertical coil, with a fixed number of turns, is shunted by a capacitance to give parallel resonance at the source frequency and is connected through a reversing switch to the transformer primary. The horizontal coil has multiple taps for a variable inductance. The coils are about two feet in diameter and are mounted on a vertical post. 1, record 17, English, - Bieler%2DWatson%20method

[Méthode électromagnétique où la source émettrice est fixe et le récepteur mobile. Cette méthode] fait l'emploi d'un grand cadre rectangulaire disposé horizontalement sur le sol qui sert de source émettrice du champ primaire. On suppose que l'axe majeur de l'ellipse de polarisation qui représente la composante réelle du champ résultant est quasi vertical tandis que l'axe mineur qui représente la composante imaginaire est horizontal. Le récepteur est constitué de deux petits cadres rectangulaires qui sont mutuellement perpendiculaires. Le cadre horizontal mesure la composante réelle et le cadre vertical la composante imaginaire. L'axe majeur et l'axe mineur de l'ellipse de polarisation sont déphasés de 90 ° et ce sont les composantes du champ représentées par ces deux axes qui sont comparées. 1, record 17, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20Bieler%2DWatson
