being manually controlled. The hutch compartment is round for good water
distribution. Mitchell

a. Arsenic monosulfide, AsS, contains 70.1% elemental arsenic.
Sanford
b. A monoclinic mineral, AsS ; dimorphous with pararealgar; red to orange;
soft; in ore veins, hot springs, and as a volcanic sublimate.
Syn:red arsenic; sandarac; red orpiment.

ream

To enlarge the hole by redrilling with a special bit.
Wheeler, R.R.

ream back

The act or process of enlarging a squeezed or cave-obstructed borehole to
its original size by reaming as the drill string is pulled.
Syn:reverse reaming

reamer

A rotary-drilling tool with a special bit used for enlarging, smoothing,
or straightening a drill hole, or making the hole circular when the drill
has failed to do so. See also:reaming bit; reaming shell; reamer. Also
called gage stone. AGI

Long
b. Sets of two or more shells that are alternated every 50 ft (15.24 m) to
keep loss in gauge to the hole uniform. The shell is changed when wear

recalescence

A phenomenon, associated with the transformation of gamma iron to alpha
iron on the cooling (supercooling) of iron or steel, revealed by the
brightening (reglowing) of the metal surface owing to the sudden increase
in temperature caused by fast liberation of the latent heat of
transformation. Syn:point of recalescence

recarburize

a. To increase the carbon content of molten cast iron or steel by adding
carbonaceous material, high-carbon pig iron, or a high-carbon alloy.
ASM, 1
b. To carburize a metal part to return surface carbon lost in processing.
