Located adjacent to the gutting table, a simple type of mechanical fish-washing device may consist of a rotating circular tank, with continuously flowing water, which swirls the fish around its periphery with the fish slime, blood, and scum overflowing into a discharge pipe. Eviscerated fish washed in this manner receive an excellent final wash without danger of being bruised, crushed, or otherwise damaged. 3, record 1, English, - gutting%20table

(ESWL) works in something like a high-tech Ribe Goldberg sequence. The patient, usually anesthetized from the waist down to obliterate the mild discomfort of the shocks, is strapped onto a pallet and lowered into a specially designed tub full of water. X-rays reveal the precise location of the kidney stone on two television monitors. The physician pushes a button, and a spark plug at the bottom of the tank fires, vaporizing some of the water, which then creates a pressure wave. After bouncing off an elliptical brass reflector that is aimed at the patient's kidney stone, the wave passes harmlessly through the patient's tissues but creates a shattering impact when it collides with the hard stone. More than a thousand individual shocks may be required to completely break up a stone, which will wash away in the patient's urine after it disintegrates. 6, record 3, English, - extracorporeal%20shock%20wave%20lithotripter
