Mesh pegs or spools, on which the netting is worked, are best made of hard wood … A considerable number are required if various nets are being made, as the size of the openings in, or meshes of, the net depends entirely on the size of the mesh peg employed.

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Un schiste est une roche qui a pour particularité d'avoir un aspect feuilleté, et de se débiter en plaques fines ou «feuillets rocheux». On dit qu'elle présente une schistosité. Il peut s'agir d'une roche sédimentaire argileuse, ou bien d'une roche métamorphique. Quand celle-ci est uniquement sédimentaire, les géologues canadiens préfèrent utiliser le terme «shale» [afin d'éviter toute confusion avec le «schiste métamorphique»]. 8, record 2, French, - schiste
