Fiber optic cable is used to connect high speed telephone and computer networks. This "wire" is not made of metal, but instead uses special glass, plastic or ceramic filaments to guide the light to a certain destination. It too permits very rapid data exchange, and is especially resistant to transmission noise. 9, record 2, English, - fiber%20cable

Il marche bien avec une taille courte, de pente supérieure à 10°. Le scraper-rabot est une caisse dotée de couteaux qui attaquent le massif à la manière d’un rabot, mais le charbon au lieu d’être soulevé par un soc est ramené au bas de la taille par la caisse qui forme scraper. Pour cela, on le munit d’un volet mobile s’effaçant dans un sens et raclant dans l'autre. Les couteaux de ces caisses sont, soit fixes, soit orientables automatiquement, l'orientation étant donnée par le câble et inversée avec le sens de marche. Le scraper-rabot est un engin à employer en couche mince et en charbons assez tendres. 1, record 3, French, - scraper%2Drabot

Slow-speed plows equipped with stepped knives generally cut only in one direction, the cutting run being made at speeds of 15-20 ft/min and the return being made at 30-60 ft/min. In order to maintain productivity with the slow-speed plows it is necessary to take as deep a slice as possible during the cutting run and the depth of slice may vary from 6 to 12 in., according to the hardness of the seam. The machine is hauled along the face by a 7/8 in. diameter wire rope which is wound by a 40-h.p. electrically driven winch located in the tail gate. Slow plows have been successfully used in conjunction with pre-cutting of the face but it appears that they will be superseded by rapid plows because of the greater productive capacity of the latter machines. 1, record 12, English, - slow%2Dspeed%20plow

Rabot statique d’origine. Cet appareil imaginé en Ruhr en 1942 est un soc qui découpe à la base du front un copeau de 30 cm d’épaisseur. Lorsque plusieurs copeaux de 30 cm ont été successivement enlevés à la base de la couche, le charbon supérieur se brise et tombe de lui-même. Le soc est tiré par un câble et le charbon est relevé par la surface gauche du soc jusqu'au niveau du convoyeur blindé sur lequel le rabot s’appuie. Pour que la machine puisse travailler dans les deux sens, elle a deux socs symétriques et deux câbles permettant le va-et-vient. Quant au blindé, il est articulé et reçoit une poussée de pistons horizontaux à air comprimé, à raison d’un piston pour 5 ou 6 m de taille. C'est grâce à cette poussée que le rabot est maintenu avec une force suffisante contre le front. 1, record 12, French, - rabot%20statique
