Gustave Coriolis [...] remarqua que les rails de droite du chemin de fer s’usaient plus vite que les rails de gauche. [...] La terre tourne sur elle-même comme un disque en rotation.

[...] Les rives droites [des rivières], dans le sens du courant, sont plus érodées que celles de gauche pour la même raison. On appelle ce phénomène l'effet de Coriolis. Cet effet joue un rôle important en météo. Dès que l'air se met en mouvement, l'effet de Coriolis entre en jeu et change la direction du vent. 1, record 3, French, - effet%20de%20Coriolis

This shovel is widely used for stone loading. Various models are available to meet particular conditions of track gage, mine car size or headroom available. The loading bucket, mounted on a rocker arm, is pushed forward into the pile of debris; the rocker arm is then actuated to swing the loaded bucket over the rocker carriage and to deliver the bucket load into a mine car or, in the case of one of the models, on to a variable-speed belt conveyor which in turn delivers into the mine car. The machines operate on a rail track and, swivelling on the carriage, can sweep across the width of the heading. On raising the bucket for discharge, the device is self-centering. 1, record 8, English, - Eimco%20rocker%20shovel

Au contraire, a[ prime] b[ prime] correspond au remplissage de la berline dans laquelle le godet se vide.
