C'est une boîte cylindrique allongée de 3 à 4 m de hauteur, munie à sa base d’un orifice que ferme une boule ou un clapet. Quand la cloche aborde, au fond du trou, la boue de sondage et s’y enfonce, la boue soulève la boule et pénètre dans la boîte cylindrique. À fond de course, la boule retombe sur son siège et la boue est prisonnière. On remonte le tout à la surface. 1, record 5, French, - cloche%20%C3%A0%20soupape

Successful tree planting begins in the tree nursery with bimonthly cultivating, pruning of roots, and fertilization. This is essential to assure healthy trees and compact root structure. Planting holes for bare-root trees should be large enough to receive roots when they are spread in a natural position. Planting holes for balled and burlapped trees should be 2 feet wider than the root ball. Ideally, holes should be as wide and deep as can conveniently be made, so that the tree can be placed at the same levels as it originally grew in the nursery. 2, record 6, English, - tree%20planting

Plantation d’arbres.

À part les gros éléments qui peuvent y être disséminés, on peut dire que les terrains meubles ne posent pas de problème pour leur perforation; ils sont, par avance, désagrégés ou leur désagrégation demande peu d’efforts. Mais il importe d’assurer la bonne tenue des parois du trou obtenu. La première idée qui vienne à l'esprit est de procéder au tubage du trou. À cet effet au fur et à mesure de la percée, on enfonce un tube métallique dans le trou. On le munit ainsi d’un chemisage protecteur. 1, record 7, French, - chemisage
