4 Asbestos (Mountain Flax)

ASBESTOS (Mountain Flax)
Is a mineral substance resisting the action of fire. It is spun into single and two or more fold yarns, the yarn is very smooth and slippery. Canadian asbestos is the most valuable for textile purposes, as it gives a curly fibre which is more easy to spin into threads than any other. It is a long, white, lustrous fibre, difficult to spin alone, so a little cotton is mixed with it, the cotton eventually being burnt away. Used for making fireproof curtains, for packing purposes, gloves, clothing for firemen and workers in furnaces,etc.

10 a visiting fireman

амер.; разг.

1) именитый, важный гость, заезжая знаменитость

Ever since the Buddhist trouble started, the local correspondents have been very hostile to Cung. So he's started feeding out comment through visiting firemen: representatives of the foreign Catholic press, magazine writers and stringers for odd journals who drift in and of Saigon, looking for features. (M. West, ‘The Ambassador’, ch. VII) — С тех пор, как началась эта история с буддистами, местные корреспонденты стали чрезвычайно враждебно относиться к Кунгу. И он для оглашения своих взглядов использовал влиятельных заезжих визитеров: представителей иностранной католической прессы, журналистов и разных борзописцев - газетчиков, курсирующих из Сайгона и в Сайгон в поисках материала.

The president's wife is a hopeless alcoholic and I've had to do the entertaining of the visiting firemen. (J. O'Hara, ‘Elizabeth Appleton’, ch. XI) — Супруга ректора - хронический алкоголик, вот мне и приходится заниматься приемом именитых гостей.

2) гость, посетитель, турист (особ. не останавливающийся перед расходами)

The Senior Senator was going to be stripped of his dignity. He would be... curtly introduced like a visiting fireman, and that was all. No toasts. No words about his years of service, no place of honor. (W. Manchester, ‘The Death of a President’, ch. 1) — Хотели унизить его достоинство. Его, старейшего сенатора штата! Хотели... наспех представить его президенту - просто ни слова о его многолетних заслугах, ни почетного места.

Girls... will show your visitors what most visiting firemen want to see. (WD) — Девушки... покажут вашим гостям все, что так хотят видеть заезжие визитеры, швыряющие деньги налево и направо.
