Available in both upright and pendent models, this commercial quick response sprinkler is designed for wet pipe fire protection systems. The fusible link assembly includes a pair of thin copper halves joined by a layer of solder. When heat is applied, the solder melts and the two halves separate, allowing the sprinkler to activate. 1, record 1, English, - quick%20response%20sprinkler

The ribbon bridge is a floating, modular asset with an integral superstructure and floating supports. Individual bays are joined to form rafts or bridges in support of river crossing operations. Ribbon bridges and rafts provide the maneuver commander with a reliable and responsive means to cross wet gap obstacles from the march... The ribbon bridge system consists of three major components : Bridge transporters, interior bays, Ramp bays. Although BEBs are not a component of the ribbon bridge system, boats are required for the propulsion of ribbon rafts, as well as for the assembly and anchorage of ribbon rafts and bridges. 2, record 6, English, - ribbon%20bridge

Steel boilers are fabricated into one assembly of a given size and rating, usually by welding. The heat exchange surface past the firebox usually is an assembly of vertical, horizontal, or slanted tubes. The tubes may be firetube(flue gas inside, heated fluid outside) or watertube(fluid inside). The tubes may be in one or more passes. As with cast-iron boilers, dry base, wet leg, or wet base design may be used. The majority of small steel heating boilers are of dry base, vertical firetube design. Larger boilers usually have horizontal or slanted tubes; both firetube and watertube designs are used. A popular design for medium and large steel boilers, is the Scotch, or Scotch Marine, which is characterized by having a central fluid-backed cylindrical firebox, surrounded by firetubes in one or more passes, all within the outer shell.... Steel boiler sizes range from approximately 14. 7 kW(150 mBh) to the largest boilers made. 2, record 8, English, - steel%20boiler
