The newsboy cap ... was first worn in the late 1800s and early 1900s by newspaper sellers. It’s similar to a flat cap in that both are typically constructed from tweed and have a rounded, low profile and a small visor or brim. The largest distinction is that newsboy caps are puffier and baggier than a standard flat cap. Newsboy caps are sewn together with 8 panels on top that look like pizza slices and almost always have a button on top where the panels meet. 3, record 1, English, - newsboy%20cap

[La casquette gavroche] est différente de la casquette plate. En effet, elle est plus épaisse, plus ronde et elle possède une visière. D'autre part, elle est cousue d'une telle façon que l'on distingue 8 «panneaux» à l'œil nu. C'est ce qui fait sa particularité. 2, record 1, French, - casquette%20gavroche

Un outil de perforation brisé en cours de travail ou un objet métallique tombé par mégarde doivent être retirés du forage avant la reprise de la perforation. On utilise pour cela un tube dont l'extrémité inférieure, comporte de longues dents et qu'on appelle araignée [...] Descendue avec précaution, elle est mise lentement en rotation à 1 m au-dessus du fond et appuyée progressivement sur celui-ci, jusqu'à ce que ses dents soient bien fermées. Il ne reste plus qu'à la remonter et à recommencer si elle n'a pas saisi l'objet. 3, record 2, French, - araign%C3%A9e
