Collecting the Medeco reward probably requires that you pick one of their newer Biaxial locks, which include the forward and backward pin alignments as well as left and right.... I believe that these are the biaxials. They are no big deal; the chisel points are offset forward or back by. 025". It effectively gives each pin twice the keying versatility, since the key cut can be the right depth and twist, but if it's not under the chisel tip, you lose. A master key for this system would have two cuts right next to each other that would address either offset [and I believe they would be at the same height, since it's difficult to cut two different heights only. 050" apart and have enough "meat" left to turn the pin]. 2, record 2, English, - Biaxial%C2%AE

Do not confuse this with broadcasting, which sends signals out all over the place within a defined area so that anyone with a receiver in that area can pick up the signal. A multi-point system would be more selective, with a fixed number of transmission points with defined addresses. If radio stations used "multi-point" systems, listeners would lose the signal every time they moved the radio in their car and have to call up the radio station and tell them the new location. 3, record 4, English, - multipoint

À ne pas confondre avec la diffusion, qui permet la transmission de signaux un peu partout dans une zone délimitée de manière à ce que toute personne disposant d'un récepteur dans la zone en question puisse capter le signal. Le système multipoint est plus sélectif, ne pouvant transmettre les signaux qu'à un nombre fixe de points ayant une adresse précise. Si les stations radiophoniques employaient de tels systèmes, les auditeurs perdraient le signal chaque fois qu'ils déplacent la radio de leur voiture et auraient à appeler la station radio pour l'informer de leur nouvel emplacement. 2, record 4, French, - multipoint
