Record 6 2011-01-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Banking
DEF

Depository financial institution whose primary function is promoting personal savings (thrift) and home ownership through mortgage lending. Thrift institutions hold most of their assets in mortgages and collect most of their deposits from consumers. Savings and Loan Associations, Savings Banks, and Credit Unions are all considered thrift institutions. Thrift institutions, at one time restricted to mortgage lending, have gained parity with commercial banks over the last 20 years and many thrifts offer the same range of nonmortgage credit services - credit cards, auto loans, home equity loans, and business loans - available from commercial banks.

Subject field(s)
  • Locks (Canals)
DEF

A device to save lockage water by means of providing closed storage capacity at the side/sides of a lock. This also reduces fluctuations of stage in the pools. The lock having such a provision is called "thrift lock".

CONT

During design, consideration of either adding an extra set of lower gates (to permit fractional chamber operation) or including a water-saving chamber (to permit saving a fraction of the water normally lost during emptying for use during filling) may be warranted. Neither has been feasible for CE locks. Staged-lifts (item 07) normally use less water than single-life locks at an expense in operating costs and transit time.

Key term(s)
  • basin for saving locking water

French

Domaine(s)
  • Écluses
DEF
