Some, such as Trowse Swing Bridge in Norfolk, combine the role of block post with supervising level crossings and operating a swing bridge. [...] In common with crossing boxes, swing bridge boxes carry out their role under the supervision of a block post. For example, Keadby Canal SB needs to communicate with Scunthorpe PSB. When the resignalling of the Lowestoft line is completed, Reedham and Somerleyton Swing Bridges will no longer be block posts.

To experimentally find the maximum quantity of a radioactive bone-seeker that can deposit in the human skeleton without adverse effect, it is usual to compare the toxicity in experimental animals of the bone-seeker with that of radium.

Potain so judiciously remarks, who compares the products of the anginous attacks to what happens in the case of intermittent claudication of the extremities through incomplete obliteration of the iliac arteries.
