multi-function back: A particularly intriguing accessory for the [Minolta] X-700 is the multi-function back. This device, which can quickly replace the standard back, combines the functions of a conventional data-imprinting back with those of an intervalometer. In the data-back mode (designated "FI"), the unit can display, and imprint if desired, six digits of information. The choices are: hours/minutes/seconds, year/month/day, month/year/day, day/month/year, any preset number from 1 to 999,999, any series of numerals advancing by one number per exposure, or no display. 2, record 2, English, - data%20back

Comptage de l'eau. Système de jauge. Un robinet de jauge, du type à boisseau, comporte un diaphragme en verre ou en acier calibré, qui ne laisse passer en écoulement continu qu'une quantité fixe d’eau. Il est placé entre deux robinets d’arrêt, également à boisseau, l'un à son entrée, l'autre à sa sortie. Une tige de plombage protège le tout contre un changement délictueux du diaphragme. Le système de jauge nécessite un réservoir emmagasineur avec toutes ses sujétions(eau soumise aux températures extérieures et susceptible d’être polluée, terrasson de sécurité, distribution en parapluie de faible pression, etc.) Il est en voie d’abandon, mais on le trouve encore dans certaines régions où le débit journalier d’alimentation de la commune est assez faible pour n’ autoriser aucun gaspillage. 1, record 6, French, - robinet%20de%20jauge
