Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Cable-tool drilling consists in pulverizing the rock formation a little at a time by alternately raising and dropping a heavy cutting tool called a bit, thereby driving a hole into the earth. Water must be present in the bottom of the hole to keep the rock fragments in suspension, and from time to time the excess water and rock particles must be bailed out. 4, record 5, English, - cable%2Dtool%20drilling
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Early wells were drilled with impact-type tools, in a method called cable-tool drilling, in which a chisel-like bit was suspended from a cable to a lever at the surface, and an up-and-down motion of the lever caused the bit to pound the bottom of the hole and chip away the rock. Such drilling had to be interrupted periodically to allow loose rock chips to be removed with a basket-like device. 5, record 5, English, - cable%2Dtool%20drilling

Le forage au battage consiste à désagréger la roche en faisant tomber de quelques centimètres de hauteur, à une cadence assez rapide, un instrument lourd et tranchant.

Les termes «forage au câble», «forage par battage» et «système de forage par battage» portent la mention CORRECT puisqu’ils représentent des formes abrégées du syntagme «système de forage par battage au câble» dûment attesté dans UNIVE (Encyclopaedia Universalis). Nous attribuons également la mention CORRECT aux termes «sondage au câble» et «sondage par battage» puisqu’ils sont construits sur les modèles «forage au câble» et «forage par battage». Toutefois, nous recommandons que ces termes soient utilisés dans le domaine minier puisque le Dictionnaire de géologie de A. Foucault et J.-F. Raoult [source FOUGE, 1984, p. 132] et le Dictionnaire du pétrole de Yves Barbier [source BARPE, 1981, p.78] signalent que le terme sondage s’applique à la reconnaissance du sous-sol. 7, record 5, French, - forage%20au%20battage

A new device, developed in Norway, harnesses energy from the ocean waves using a vertically oscillating float connected to a piston pump. Possible applications range from desalination of seawater and clean water supply to fish farms, to electricity production using a turbo-generator. This wave energy conversion unit is being developed by the Norwegian company ConWEC AS ... The ConWEC device absorbs wave energy by means of a float which oscillates up and down inside a cylindrical structure with a submerged opening through which waves can act. The energy in the waves is converted to mechanical energy by a pump with its piston rigidly connected to the float. Seawater can be pumped into an energy storage in the form of a pressure tank (or possibly an elevated water reservoir) from which a turbine can be run to complete the conversion to electrical energy. 2, record 7, English, - oscillating%20float
