Ripcord is a part of a skydiving harness-container system; a handle attached to a steel cable ending in a closing pin. The pin keeps the container closed and keeps the spring loaded pilot chute inside. When the ripcord is pulled, the container is opened and the pilot chute is released, opening the parachute. On tandem systems the ripcord releases the 3-ring release system anchoring the bridle to the harness-container, allowing the parachute to open. 2, record 4, English, - parachute%20ripcord

L'utilité des ballons sur le champ de bataille enfin reconnue, le nombre des compagnies d’aérostiers s’accroît pour atteindre 75 en mars 1916. Chaque corps d’armée français dispose désormais de sa compagnie. La stabilité du sphérique est mauvaise. Pour pallier ce défaut on développe dès 1914 un ballon allongé de 800 m³ semblable au ballon allemand. Pour améliorer son orientation dans le vent on lui attache une queue de godets, comme à un cerf-volant. On remplace le treuil à vapeur par un treuil automobile plus rapide pour ramener le câble et plus discret sur le champ de bataille. 3, record 11, French, - treuil%20%C3%A0%20vapeur

Record number: 14, Textual support number: 1 DEF
One of three kinds of rim or caliper brakes whose action originates from the side of the wheel (usually the left side), using one pivot point for two caliper arms. They are activated by means of a sheathed brake cable connected at one end to the brake lever mounted on the handlebar and at the other end to one of the caliper arms. When the hand lever is squeezed the cable retracts within its sheath, pulling the right caliper toward the rim and exerting an equal and opposite force on the cable sheath which, pressing downward, forces the left caliper toward the wheel rim, in such a way as to press rubber blocks against the rim simultaneously, stopping the bicycle through pressure and friction. 4, record 14, English, - sidepull%20brake

One of three kinds of rim or caliper brakes whose action originates above the center of the wheel, using two pivot points, one for each caliper arm. They are activated by means of a brake cable connected at one end to the brake lever mounted on the handlebar and at the other end to a cable anchor. From the cable anchor a transverse cable runs to both sides of the brake assembly and attaches to the caliper arms. When the brake lever is squeezed, the cable retracts, lifting the cable anchor and causing both calipers to press rubber blocks against the wheel rim simultaneously, stopping the bicycle through pressure and friction. 2, record 15, English, - centerpull%20brakes

Centerpull brakes require less lever force but more lever motion, giving them a yielding feel and requiring more accurate, and hence more frequent adjustment. 4, record 15, English, - centerpull%20brakes

Center-pull brakes can easily be centered by squeezing the shoes and centering the brake cable where it meets the short center cable. 3, record 15, English, - centerpull%20brakes
