Tarares.-Ces appareils [de triage] opèrent par différence de densité. Les grains tombent d’une trémie sur un jeu de grilles à secousses qui arrêtent et éliminent les grosses impuretés. Le mélange des grains, de balles et de poussières passe à travers les grilles et est soumis à l'action d’un courant d’air, réglable en intensité et en direction. Celui-ci élimine les impuretés légères, pendant que le grain est retenu sur une grille interchangeable ne laissant passer que les petites impuretés lourdes. 1, record 5, French, - tarare

The problem was solved with the next significant concept of airport lighting - the principle of "controlled intensity". Controlled or engineered intensity means that runway lights having practical pinpoint sources, with the beam aimed in the direction of the incoming pilot, could have the intensity of this beam controlled by either shifting the beam axis or more generally by varying the brightness of the lamp. Thus, high candle power is available to "punch through" heavy weather, but it is subject to brightness control for visual comfort. Note that this principle does not include illumination as none of this light strikes the runway surface. 1, record 7, English, - controlled%20intensity
