Le loess est un limon calcaire accumulé par le vent, en pays steppique; les eaux d'infiltration ont ensuite souvent dissous le calcaire des parties supérieures et l'ont précipité en dessous, sous forme de concrétions appelées «poupées».  5, record 1, French, - poup%C3%A9e%20du%20loess

Généralement la partie supérieure du manteau loessique est décalcifiée et rougeâtre : c'est le lehm ou terre à brique. La base plus riche en calcaire, de coloration brun clair, est encore appelée ergeron. Une partie du calcaire dissous dans le lehm s'y retrouve sous forme de concrétions : les poupées du loess.  6, record 1, French, - poup%C3%A9e%20du%20loess

A device for small installations, comprising one or more pits extending into porous strata and lined with open-jointed stone, concrete block, precast concrete, or similar walls, capped, and provided with a means of access, such as a manhole cover. It serves to introduce into the ground, by seepage, the partly treated effluent of a water-carriage wastewater disposal system.  2, record 3, English, - seepage%20pit

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The seepage pit is usually made of concrete block or is a precast concrete unit. Typically, 8-in. thick block are used, and they are laid with the cells(holes) placed horizontally to allow the effluent to seep into the ground. The tapered cells of the block are set with the widest area to the outside to reduce the amount of loose material behind the lining that might fall into the pit. The typical precast concrete seepage pit shown in Fig. 5-14 is the same unit used for drywells. The bottom of the pit is lined with coarse gravel a minimum of 1 ft deep before the block or concrete is placed. Between the block or concrete and the soil is a minimum of 6 in. of clean crushed stone or gravel. Straw is placed on top of the gravel to keep sand from filtering down and reducing the effectiveness of the gravel. The top of the pit should have an opening with a watertight cover to provide access to the pit if necessary. The construction of the pit above the inlet pipe should be watertight.  3, record 3, English, - seepage%20pit

A machine for loading loose rock or coal. It has a tractor-mounted chassis, carrying a chain conveyor the front end of which is built into a wedge-shaped blade. Mounted on this blade are two arms, one on either side of the chain conveyor, which gather the material from the muckpile and feed it on to the loader conveyor. The tail or back end of the conveyor is designed to swivel and elevate hydraulically so that the coal or stone can be loaded into a car or on to another conveyor.  4, record 4, English, - gathering%20arm%20loader
