CONT

Les autres composants prototypes [...] du «Térébel» [...] comprenaient aussi un dispositif de manutention mécanisé des tiges de forage [...] et, surtout un compensateur de pilonnement. [...] Le compensateur, constitué de plusieurs vérins hydrauliques associés à une capacité gazeuse dont la pression peut être en permanence contrôlée, est essentiellement un dispositif élastique de suspension du train de tiges de forage qui permet, dans les limites assez larges de pilonnement, de conserver un poids constant et prédéterminé sur l'outil de forage.
