  • Field Artillery
CONT

Main Electronic Assembly(MEA). The MEA consists of a frame assembly and an angulation head. The frame assembly includes the radar system control circuits and the electronic components necessary for target detection processing. An AHA [aerial head assembly] mounting plate, attached to the top of the angulation head, secures the AHA to the MEA. A bearing scale indicator, at the base of the angulation head, can be used for checking the bearing settings and arcs. A level bubble permits accurate levelling of the MEA.

CONT

Boîtier électronique principal (BEP). Le BEP est constitué d un bâti et d une plate-forme goniométrique. Le bâti comprend les circuits de commande du système radar et les composants électroniques nécessaires au traitement des données de détection d'objectifs. Une plaque de montage de l'antenne, fixée au sommet de la plate-forme goniométrique, retient l'antenne au BEP. Un indicateur d'échelle de relèvement, au bas de la plate-forme goniométrique, peut servir à vérifier les arcs et les réglages de relèvement. Un niveau à bulle permet de mettre le BEP de niveau avec précision.

CONT

The Harvard, an American aircraft, universally regarded as the best combat trainer available ... 533 were ordered for training in Canada in 1940

CONT

The Harvard... was a twin-seat trainer with a completely enclosed glss canopy, a tall body and low set rectangular wings.... It was powered by a 440 KW Pratt & Whitney R-1340-AN-1 engine. It's top speed was 208 mph(355 km/h), with a ceiling of 24280 ft(7400 m) and a range of 745 mi(1200 km). It could be armed with two 0. 50 inch machine guns for target practice.

Record 5 2002-05-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ice Hockey
DEF

A shot at goal made with a long sweep of the blade on the ice (as if sweeping the floor or shovelling the snow) before executing the shot proper.

OBS

The shot is initiated by transferring body weight to the skate closest to the target. As weight is transferred, arms begin to drag, or sweep the puck/stick quickly towards the target. In one motion, top arm snaps towards the body and the wrist is rapidly extended while bottom wrist flexes and snaps stick through...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hockey sur glace
DEF

Lancer vers le filet, la lame du bâton restant longuement en contact avec la glace avant de décocher le tir comme tel qui impute une trajectoire à la rondelle; mouvement semblable à celui du balai pour ramasser la poussière.

OBS

La rondelle est placée près du corps vis-à-vis ou en arrière du patin arrière; il se produit une rotation vigoureuse du tronc, des épaules et des bras vers la cible et un transfert de poids de la jambe arrière à la jambe avant; il y a alors le mouvement balayé du bâton, suivi d'un fouetté violent des poignets.

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Aircraft
  • Air Forces
CONT

[The] B-2 Spirit originally started as Project Senior CJ and [was] later renamed as ATB(Advance Tactical Bomber). The B-2 uses four F-118 Turbofans.... The turbofan has intake and exhaust at the top of the aircraft to prevent ground control to spot them. The pilot and co-pilot are seated side by side in a zero-zero vertically ejecting ACES II seats.... a B-2 can get updates for GPS satellites to avoid ground firing while the pilot spots the target. Once the target is found, the pilot will turn on special radar, which only scan the target area and once spotted the B-2 will launch its nuclear ordnance or SRAM II missiles.... the B-2 provides the penetrating flexibility and effectiveness inherent in manned bombers. Its low-observable, or "stealth, "characteristics give it the unique ability to penetrate an enemy's most sophisticated defenses and threaten its most-valued, and heavily defended targets. Its unrefueled range is approximately 6, 000 nautical miles(9, 600 kilometers). The B-2's low observability is derived from a combination of reduced infrared, acoustic, electromagnetic, visual and radar signatures.

Mechanical test : The package is subjected to two drops onto a target... in the order that results in damage leading to maximum damage from a subsequent thermal test. The package is dropped onto a flat essentially unyielding horizontal surface striking the surface in a manner that results in maximum damage to the package. The height of fall measured from the lowest point of the package to the surface is not less than 9 m. The package is dropped onto the top end of a vertical cylindrical mild steel bar mounted on an essentially unyielding horizontal surface. The height of fall measured from the lowest point of the package to the top end of the bar is not less than 1 m.
