English

Subject field(s)
  • Prepared Dishes (Cooking)
CONT

Eggs in Cases : Cut up a sheet of paper into pieces three inches square turn up half an inch all round so as to form a kind of square case; there will then remain but two inches square in the inside. Take a small piece of butter, a pinch of fine breadcrumbs, a little finely-chopped parsley, spring onions, salt and pepper, and mix them together; put a little into each case, then break one egg into each; put them on a gridiron, over a slow fire, and do them gently, or place them in a dish in an over; when well set, serve. Small, round paper cases may be procured very cheap.

Record 5 1999-08-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Graphic Arts and Printing
DEF

A printing fault in which the vehicle and pigment separate after printing, leaving unbound pigments on the surface of the paper.

OBS

It usually occurs on coated paper and when the printed ink is slow to dry. It is usually due to low ratio of dried ink binder to ink pigment at the print surface. Causes may be an improperly prepared ink, too thin an ink or too absorbent a paper. In most cases the adhesion improves during the final stages of ink drying.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Imprimerie et arts graphiques
DEF

Incident d'impression causé par une mauvaise adhérence de l'encre au papier : le liquide est absorbé mais le pigment reste en surface.

Record 6 1993-12-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Paper Manufacturing Processes
CONT

[Steam and condensate system of a paper machine dryer. ] The condensate that forms in the dryer cylinders is removed by a specially-designed syphon assembly. On slow machines, the condensate collects in a puddle at the bottom of the cylinder; a stationary syphon angled into the puddle is often used on these machines. With increasing speed, the puddle begins to cascade; and finally a true rimming condition is reached where the condensate covers the entire inside surface due to centrifugal force.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fabrication du papier
CONT

[Circuits de la vapeur vive et des condensats d'une sécherie de machine à papier.] On extrait les condensats grâce à un siphon d'un type particulier. Sur les machines à grande vitesse, il faut absolument éliminer les condensats le plus vite possible pour réduire au minimum l'épaisseur du film. Sur les machines lentes, les condensats forment une mare au fond du cylindre sécheur et un siphon fixe y est utilisé. Lorsque la vitesse de la machine augmente, un régime de transition s'établit; on atteint enfin le régime «anneau d'eau» lorsque la force centrifuge répartit uniformément le film de condensats sur le cylindre.

Record 7 1985-03-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Micrographics
DEF

a slow print film or paper, sensitized by a coating of diazonium salts, which, subsequent to exposure to light(strong in the blue to ultraviolet spectrum) and development, forms an image. Diazo material generally produces non-reversed images; i. e. a positive image will produce a positive image and a negative image will produce a negative image.
