A man with an inventive mind designed a system known today as the "jerker" rod system. Returning to the old small shallow wells, and using a simple but effective ball and washer pump, he connected hundreds of pumps to a single steam engine with a series of four arm spider wheels set horizontally, pulling four long lines of connecting wooden rods reaching into the oil field. Spider wheels in the field were powered by relay wheels near the plant and supplied push-pull power to a dozen or more wells connected to each string of jerker rods. 4, record 1, English, - jerker%20rod%20system

La technologie du forage et de la production du pétrole brut est mise au point dans les champs pétrolifères autour de Petrolia et d'Oil Springs (Ontario) durant la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle. Les premières innovations importantes sont le forage par percussion au moyen d'une tige à ressort et le système de pompes avec tige à saccades encore utilisé dans les champs pétroliers du Sud de l'Ontario. 1, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20pompes%20avec%20tige%20%C3%A0%20saccades

As a person acquires and organizes knowledge into chunks and networks, the knowledge becomes compiled. Some individuals compile knowledge into more and more abstract and theoretical patterns (deep knowledge). Others compile knowledge as a result of practical experience (surface knowledge). Most people begin by acquiring theoretical knowledge and then, when they finish their schooling, they recompile what they have learned into practical heuristics. Expertise consists of large amounts of compiled knowledge. 3, record 2, English, - compiled%20knowledge

Wenger presents the now standard idea of compiled vs. articulated knowledge(terms that are preferable, in my mind, to shallow and deep). He presents a rationale for why knowledge could(and should) be compiled for specific purposes. He also presents a useful breakdown of the characteristics of knowledge articulation : the completeness of its contents(including justification), its structure or organization(e. g. abstractness or generality), and its epistemological characteristics(e. g. is it commonsense, causal, taxonomic). 1, record 3, English, - articulated%20knowledge
