[Type of fishing in which the] fishing gear consists of a bamboo pole, to which is attached a line having a feather or other lure with a barbless hook; alternatively bait may be used. In some cases, two men using poles connected to a common line and hook may be required for large fish. The fisherman heaves on his pole to fling the fish behind him on to the deck; as the hook is barbless the fish is disengaged automatically as the line tightens and slides forward along the sloping deck. 3, record 1, English, - pole%20and%20line%20fishing

Les chars utilisent des blindages en acier dont l'épaisseur peut atteindre 300 mm; leur carcasse est soit en acier laminé, soit en acier moulé [...] Le projectile perfore d'autant mieux un blindage que, lors de l'impact, son incidence est faible; aussi on donne aux chars des formes fuyantes avec des blindages inclinés. 2, record 2, French, - blindage%20inclin%C3%A9
