Principle of operation of some automatic weapons, whereby the recoil energy imparted to the barrel is used to actuate the mechanism and perform the necessary cycle of operation. Two systems of recoil operation have been in use, as follows: a. Short recoil operation. The breechblock remains locked to the barrel only while the chamber pressure is high. This involves a barrel travel of only about 1/2 inch. The device locking the breechblock to the barrel is then released and the two components separate. The barrel may remain stationary and await the return of the breechblock, but in most modern designs the barrel has its own spring and goes forward into battery, e.g. .50 calibre heavy machine-gun. b. Long recoil operation. The barrel and locked breech recoil a greater distance than the length of the cartridge. The breechblock is then held to the rear while the barrel is driven forward by its own spring. When the barrel is fully forward, it trips the catch releasing the breechblock, which then feeds the next cartridge into the chamber. Mainly encountered in semi-automatic shotguns.

Principe de fonctionnement de certaines armes automatiques, selon lequel la force de recul transmise au canon sert à actionner le mécanisme et à exécuter le cycle requis de fonctionnement. Les deux systèmes suivants de fonctionnement par recul sont utilisés : a. Fonctionnement par court recul. La culasse ne reste verrouillée au canon que pendant la période de haute pression de la chambre. La course requise du canon à cet effet n’ est que de 1/2 pouce environ. Le dispositif de verrouillage de la culasse et du canon se dégage alors et les deux éléments se séparent. Le canon peut rester en place et attendre le retour de la culasse, mais dans la plupart des modèles modernes, le canon est pourvu de son propre ressort et retourne en batterie vers l'avant, e. g. la mitrailleuse lourde de calibre. 50. b. Fonctionnement par long recul. La culasse et le canon verrouillés reculent d’une longueur supérieure à celle d’une cartouche. La culasse est alors retenue vers l'arrière pendant que le canon retourne à l'avant par son propre ressort. A son arrivée à la position avant, le canon actionne un déclencheur, libérant la culasse qui, à son tour alimente la cartouche suivante dans la chambre. Ce système est surtout utilisé dans les fusils de chasse semi-automatiques. Voir aussi "principes de fonctionnement-Armes automatiques". 1, record 4, French, - fonctionnement%20par%20recul

Cartridge identification system which indicates the bullet diameter and cartridge case length, with a letter or name sometimes added for further information, e.g. 5.56 x 45 mm (5.56 mm NATO/223 Rem), 7.62 x 51 mm (7.62 mm NATO/308 Win), 9 x 19 mm (9 mm NATO/9 mm Parabellum), and 12.7 x 99 mm (.50 Browning). NOTE 1. With commercial cartridges, the approximate bullet diameter is sometimes used, e.g. 8 x 57 mm instead of its true designation of 7.92 x 57 mm. NOTE 2. The most commonly used alphabetical codes are as follows: R: rimmed cartridge case; SR: semi-rimmed cartridge case; RB: rebated base cartridge case; B: belted cartridge case; J: derivative of a military round. NOTE 3. This system is used for all modern military cartridges. 1, record 5, English, - metric%20cartridge%20designation

Les codes alphabétiques les plus utilisés sont les suivants : R : douille à bourrelet; SR : douille à demi-bourrelet; RB : douille à culot réduit; B : douille ceinturée; J : dérivé d’une cartouche militaire.

Resin Anchored Bolts. (...) It has been found that the use of resins will increase significantly the holding ability of expansion anchors. Two types of resin packages are available. In one type, the resin and catalyst are at opposite ends of a plastic envelope separated by a clip. The clip is removed and the package kneaded to mix the components. Then the package is thrust up the hole and a bolt with a mechanical anchor is inserted; in tightening the package will burst and the resin will ooze around the anchor. The other type is a glass capsule where resin and quartz granulars are contained in an outer glass capsule and the catalyst is in an inner tube. (...) Bolt ends need no threading for this anchorage. 1, record 6, English, - resin%20anchored%20bolt

De plus en plus, au lieu du boulon ancré au fond du trou, on utilise les "boulons à la résine", dont la tige est soudée au terrain sur toute sa longueur par une résine synthétique. Une cartouche en matière plastique renfermant, séparés, la résine sirupeuse et le réactif de polymérisation est introduite dans le trou, puis on y enfile la tige du boulon, qui déchire les enveloppes; la résine se répand dans le trou, mêlée au réactif, et, en quelques secondes, elle fait prise; l'écrou vissé à l'extrémité de la tige et la plaque d’appui deviennent inutiles, sauf s’il faut maintenir un grillage. 1, record 6, French, - boulon%20%C3%A0%20la%20r%C3%A9sine
