Most of the development of equipment and technology for rotary drilling from floating vessels started with an extensive shallow-hole coring operation off the coast of California in the Santa Barbara Channel. The very first operations were conducted "over the side" of the drill vessel, but these were quickly supplanted by vessels designed with a center drill well or "moonpool." 3, record 4, English, - moonpool

Drip Irrigation.... Water is delivered in small quantities under low pressure directly to... the root zone of the plants. You’ll need 1/2 inch polyethylene header pipe, and a roll of thin tape-like porous tubing. The header pipe connects to a garden hose and routes water through the garden. The pipe is placed either down the center or along one end of the garden. Small puncture holes are then made with a screwdriver into the header pipe at intervals corresponding to garden row. Eight-to ten-inch pieces of rubber connecting hose are then inserted into these holes. The other end of the connecting hose attaches to a length of porous tape. This tape is rolled out along each vegetable bed and cut to the same length as the row. Then end of the tape is then crimped to prevent water loss when the system is in use. Porous irrigation tape is best placed about three to four inches away from the base of the plants. 1, record 5, English, - porous%20irrigation%20tape

Highspeed, Highpressure Sewer and Pipe Cleaning. The vehicle is positioned at the manhole with hose reel above opening. A special high-pressure hose, fitted with a hardened steel jet nozzle, is introduced into the sewer. Water pressure up to 2000 lbs. psi drives the hose up the sewer against the flow. A center hole in the nozzle breaks up accumulation in front of the hose to allow for easy passage. When the hose is withdrawn, the water jets flush the sewer clean. Light materials are flushed down the line and heavy materials are deposited in the manhole for easy removal with the sanitary Hydro-Vac. A final jetting of the interior of the manhole with the high-pressure gun completes the cleaning operation. 3, record 8, English, - sewer%20cleaning

Mesure axe/axe (entraxe) - On utilise cette méthode lorsque les deux extrémités du tuyau sont munies de raccords (coudes ou tés). Pour procéder au mesurage, un des raccords peut être posé sur le tuyau (...); avant de couper le tuyau, il faut prévoir une réserve pour l'autre raccord et la soustraire de la mesure totale; on peut alors couper le tuyau à la mesure exacte. 1, record 14, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20axe%2Faxe
