The largest and outermost of the concentric rings or circles making up the house at each end of the curling sheet. 3, record 1, English, - 12%2Dfoot%20ring
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The house is formed of four concentric circles having a diameter of 12 (3,66 m), 8 (2,44 m), 4 (1,22 m) and 2 feet (0,61 m) respectively. The ring enclosed by the 12-foot and the 8-foot circles (called "outer ring") is blue and the one enclosed by the 4-foot and the 2-foot circles (called "inner ring" or "inside ring"), red, which leaves uncolored the ring enclosed by the 8-foot and the 4-foot circles (called "middle ring") and the inside of the 2-foot circle (called "tee" or "button"), giving them a white appearance. Seen from above, the house appears as a series of three rings, blue, white and red around a white button. 8, record 1, English, - 12%2Dfoot%20ring
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The term "circle" refers, more properly, to each of the four circular lines forming the house while the term "ring" refers to the coloured or uncoloured surface between two circles. But since there are four circles and four inner surfaces, the terms tend to be used as synonyms, as are "concentric ring(s)" and "concentric circle(s)." The centre of the house being a full circle and not a ring, there is a mix as to what is really the "inner circle": the red ring or the button? 8, record 1, English, - 12%2Dfoot%20ring

La maison est formée de quatre cercles concentriques de 12 (3,66 m), 8 (2,44 m), 4 (1,22 m) et 2 pieds (0,61 m) de diamètre. L'anneau compris entre le cercle de 12 pieds et celui de 8 pieds (appelé «cercle extérieur») est teinté de bleu, et celui compris entre le cercle de 4 pieds et celui de 2 pieds (appelé «cercle intérieur»), teinté de rouge, ce qui laisse l'espace entre les cercles de 8 pieds et de 4 pieds (appelé «cercle intermédiaire» ou «cercle du milieu») et l'intérieur du cercle de 2 pieds (appelé «bouton» ou «mouche»), à l'état naturel, en apparence blancs. Vue en plongée, la maison apparaît comme une série de trois anneaux de couleur, bleu, blanc, rouge, encerclant un bouton blanc. 4, record 1, French, - cercle%20de%2012%20pieds

Le terme «cercle» en français rend tant la notion propre au terme anglais «circle», ligne tracée en rond, que celle de «ring», anneau ou surface comprise à l'intérieur de deux cercles. Comme le centre de la maison est un cercle plein et non un anneau, on ne s'entend pas sur ce qui constitue le «cercle intérieur» : l'anneau rouge ou le bouton? 4, record 1, French, - cercle%20de%2012%20pieds

A conventional gyroscope is a mechanism comprising a rotor journaled to spin about one axis, the journals of the rotor being mounted in an inner gimbal or ring, the inner gimbal being journaled for oscillation in an outer gimbal which in turn is journaled for oscillation relative to a support. The outer gimbal or ring is mounted so as to pivot about an axis in its own plane determined by the support. Hence the outer gimbal possesses one degree of rotational freedom and its axis possesses none. The inner gimbal is mounted in the outer gimbal so as to pivot about an axis in its own plane which axis is always normal to the pivotal axis of the outer gimbal. Hence the inner gimbal possesses two degrees of rotational freedom and its axis possesses one. 3, record 3, English, - outer%20gimbal

[Les] anneaux de cardan constituent les supports du rotor d'un instrument gyroscopique. On les appelle plus simplement «cardans», car ces supports sont rarement circulaires. La figure 1 illustre un rotor monté sur deux anneaux de cardan, le cardan extérieur étant retenu par un cadre fixe. [...] L'arbre du rotor s'appuie sur des paliers montés dans le cardan intérieur. Ce cardan intérieur repose lui-même sur des paliers montés à l'intérieur du cardan extérieur qui, lui, peut pivoter sur les paliers du cadre fixe (ou du boîtier de l'instrument). 2, record 3, French, - cardan%20ext%C3%A9rieur
