The volume and impact of consultations is of particular interest. The need to consult arises from system-wide interdependencies between institutions, which are a natural consequence of the growing connectedness or horizontality of government operations. It is becoming increasingly rare for any one particular policy or operational issue and the documents related to them to be of interest solely to one federal institution. As a result, consultation requests are increasing the workload of institutions. 3, record 6, English, - consultation%20request

Another name for a Bull's eye level is a "circular bubble" which is the name used by surveyors in the United Kingdom. Surveying instruments such as theodolites (transits) and total stations often have a circular bubble as well as a tubular level or "plate level." The circular bubble is used to roughly level the instrument in two dimensions and then the plate level, being more precise, is used to level the instrument more precisely in each dimension separately by leveling the plate level, then spinning the instrument 90 degrees and leveling the plate level again. 3, record 10, English, - bull%27s%20eye%20level

During the air scour, about two-thirds of the air flow passes through the hole and the rest through the slot, thus constituting a kind of weir which geometrically determines the depth of the air cushion. Should the floor not be perfectly horizontal, the divergence of air flow between two nozzles is slight because of the preponderant share of the flow passing through the hole. 1, record 19, English, - divergence%20of%20air%20flow
