Tongs consist a single band of bent metal, as in sugar tongs, most asparagus tongs (which are no longer common) [2] and the like. Sugar tongs are usually silver, with claw-shaped or spoon-shaped ends for serving lump sugar. Asparagus tongs are usually similar but larger, with a band near the head that limits how far the tongs can expand.

A drawworks is the primary hoisting machinery component of a rotary drilling rig.Its main function is to provide a means of raising and lowering the traveling block.The wire-rope drill line winds on the drawworks drum and over the crown block to the traveling block, allowing the drill string to be moved up and down as the drum turns.
[1] [2] Fractions are collected based on differences in a specific property of the individual components. A common trait in fractionations is the need to find an optimum between the amount of fractions collected and the desired purity in each fraction. Fractionation makes it possible to isolate more than two components in a mixture in a single run.

Unit fractions can also be expressed using negative exponents, as in 2 −1, which represents 1/2, and 2 −2, which represents 1/(2 2) or 1/4. A dyadic fraction is a common fraction in which the denominator is a power of two, e.g. 1 / 8 = 1 / 2 3 . In Unicode, precomposed fraction characters are in the Number Forms block.
The external lewis was originally shaped like a pair of scissor-tongs, and swung from a treadwheel crane. [3] This type of tong device has been known as dogs and the holes in the stone as dog holes for many centuries. Many old bridges and walls in the UK still have dog holes to reveal how the stones were lifted, particularly onto bridge ...
