transformateurs sont refroidis directement à l'air. La fiabilité des transformateurs est exceptionnelle. L'absence de pièces en rotation réduit en effet les efforts de fatigue. Par ailleurs, s'il vient à se produire à la longue un défaut interne d'isolement, celui-ci entraîne, dès son apparition, un craquage local du diélectrique liquide et un dégagement de bulles. Celles-ci sont immédiatement détectées par un appareil spécial, dit relais de Buchholz, qui provoque le déclenchement é...

À cette fin on utilisait couramment les noms quenya dits « noms entiers » même lors...

Consequently, the thick walls of Romanesque architecture could be largely replaced by thinner walls with glass windows,and the interiors could reach unprecedented heights. A revolution in building techniques thus occurred. With the Gothic vault, a ground plan could take on a variety of shapes. The general plan of the cathedrals, however, consisting of a long three-aisled nave interceptedby a transept and followed by a shorter choir and sanctuary,...

If then we were to attempt to penetrate through this thick and obdurate bark to the soul of Quasimodo; if we could sound the depths of this bungling piece oforganization; if we were enabled to hold a torch behind these untransparent organs, to explore the gloomy interior of this opaque being, to illumine its obscure cornersand its unmeaning cul-de-sacs, and to throw all at once a brilliant light upon the spirit enchained at the bottom of this den; we should doubtless find the wretch in some mi...

Dans le gouffre à jamais retomber éperdu; Et le lien sacré du service rendu, A travers l'ombre affreuse et la céleste sphère, Joint l'échelon de nuit aux marches de lumière. Hope is indeed the keynote of Hugo's poetry. In the darkest days of 1871, when France was tearing out her own vitals and Paris was destroying itself, he could write thus: Les récits montrent l'un après l'autre leurs têtes, Car les évènements ont leur cap des Temp...

The Man’yō’sh ū contains about 4,500 poems, most of them composed in the Nara period (710-784).
