A centre-pivot irrigation system consists of a number of self-propelled towers supporting a pipeline rotating around a pivot point. Water supplied at the pivot point flows radially outward for distribution by sprayers or sprinklers located along the pipeline. The water is usually delivered to the pivot point by an underground pipeline with the pump located in the corner or on the side of the field. 1, record 1, English, - centre%2Dpivot%20irrigation%20system

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
In the rotating parlour, cows are milked on a rotational, raised, circle shaped platform. There are many variations of this type of parlour, based on the way the cows stand on the platform. They can stand in tandem, fishbone or parallel formation, with their heads directed towards the inside or the outside of the platform. The most logical choice is the parallel-type with the heads of the cows directed inward, as this takes up the least space per cow. 6, record 3, English, - rotary%20milking%20parlour

Dans une salle de traite rotative, les vaches montent sur une plate-forme mobile. La rotation de la plate-forme déplace l'animal vers le trayeur. Celui-ci peut ensuite effectuer les diverses tâches nécessaires pour traire les vaches correctement. Après la traite, la vache quitte la salle de traite. Les vaches montent sur la plate-forme et sortent de la salle de traite rotative en continu. Ce flux continu contribue à la haute capacité de la salle de traite rotative. 4, record 3, French, - salle%20de%20traite%20rotative

The circulation of money through various sources, ending up where it started. For instance the German Central Bank recycles excess capital by selling U.S. dollars to banks under a repurchase agreement and the banks place the U.S. dollars in the Euromarket. As the financial institutions could run up a U.S. dollar debt on the Euromarket, the Central Bank must buy back the U.S. dollars and sell domestic currency to avoid an excessive increase in the mark. 1, record 9, English, - merry%2Dgo%2Dround%20effect
