Detonation is a process in which the ... explosive reaction takes place within a high-velocity shock wave known as the "detonation wave" or "reaction shock". This wave generally propagates at constant velocity from below 800 to above 8500 meters/sec, depending on the explosive, its density and physical state. Detonation velocity may be measured accurately by direct flame photography ... and by electronic chronographs. 7, record 1, English, - detonation%20velocity

Vitesse de détonation. [...] La méthode la plus couramment utilisée aujourd'hui consiste à mesurer, à l'aide d'un chronographe électronique, l'intervalle de temps qui sépare le passage de l'onde de détonation entre deux sondes à deux conducteurs piquées à une distance donnée l'une de l'autre, perpendiculairement à l'axe de la cartouche. [...] Il faut noter que de nombreux paramètres influent sur la vitesse de détonation [...] : - la masse volumique de l'explosif; - le diamètre de la charge; la puissance et la distance de l'amorçage; - le confinement de l'explosif. 2, record 1, French, - vitesse%20de%20d%C3%A9tonation

A suspended scaffold consists of two horizontal putlogs, short timbers that support the flooring of the scaffold, each attached to a drum mechanism. Cables extend from each drum to an outrigger beam attached overhead to the structure frame. Ratchet devices on the drums provide for raising or lowering the putlogs between which spanning planks form the working surface. 5, record 2, English, - suspended%20scaffold
