The com ponents of this integrated system are developed and manufactured in-house – because at Rosenbauer, fi re fi ghting systems are one of the core competences. rrbibi llagebericht_1304agebericht_1304 E.inddE.indd 1010 113.04.113.04.11 112:042:04 11 rrbibi llagebericht_1304agebericht_1304 E.inddE.indd 1111 113.04.113.04.11 112:042:04 12 NAUTILUS – NEW DISCOVERIES It may only be small, but there is a lot more to the compact NAUTILUS submersible pump than you might think: It is the result of leading-edge research and decades of experience in the development of complex systems. The initiative behind the development of this new submersible pump originated in Rosenbauer’s innovation management system. rrbibi llagebericht_1304agebericht_1304 E.inddE.indd 1212 113.04.113.04.11 112:052:05 13 rrbibi llagebericht_1304agebericht_1304 E.inddE.indd 1313 113.04.113.04.11 112:052:05 14 EMEREC – AHEAD OF ITS TIME Rosenbauer products stand apart not only for their out- standing performance but also for the many extra benefi ts they give to users.

  • Bridge Glossary
    Bridge Glossary Above the line In rubber bridge points recorded above a horizontal line on the score-pad. These are extra points, beyond those for tricks bid and made, awarded for holding honour cards in trumps, bonuses for scoring game or slam, for winning a rubber, for overtricks on the declaring side and for under-tricks on the defending side, and for fulfilling doubled or redoubled contracts. ACOL/Acol A bidding system commonly played in the UK. Active An approach to defending a hand that emphasizes quickly setting up winners and taking tricks. See Passive Advance cue bid The cue bid of a first round control that occurs before a partnership has agreed on a suit. Advance sacrifice A sacrifice bid made before the opponents have had an opportunity to determine their optimum contract. For example: 1♦ - 1♠ - Dbl - 5♠. Adverse When you are vulnerable and opponents non-vulnerable. Also called "unfavourable vulnerability vulnerability." Agreement An understanding between partners as to the meaning of a particular bid or defensive play. Alert A method of informing the opponents that partner's bid carries a meaning that they might not expect; alerts are regulated by sponsoring organizations such as EBU, and by individual clubs or organisers of events. Any method of alerting may be authorised including saying "Alert", displaying an Alert card from a bidding box or 'knocking' on the table. Announcement An explanatory statement made by the partner of the player who has just made a bid that is based on a partnership understanding. The purpose of an announcement is similar to that of an Alert.

  • Glossary of Bridge Terms
    GLOSSARY OF BRIDGE TERMS Alert When your partner makes a conventional bid you must alert this to the opponents by knocking the table (or displaying the ‘Alert’ card if using bidding boxes). Auction Another term for the bidding. Avoidance An attempt to prevent a particular defender from regaining the lead. Balanced A hand containing no void, no singleton and not more than one Hand doubleton. Barrier When planning your opener's rebid, imagine a ‘barrier’ just above your first suit at the next level up. A new suit rebid below the barrier shows 12-15 points (occasionally 16 or 17 points after a 1 level response when opener doesn’t have enough for a jump shift). A new suit rebid above the barrier that isn’t a jump shift shows 16-19 points (also known as a reverse). Blocked A suit is blocked if there is a high card in the short hand that prevents the suit from being cashed. A player will often aim to unblock the suit. Break The way in which the defenders’ cards in a particular suit are divided between their two hands. For example, a 4-2 break indicates that with 6 cards in a suit missing, one defender has 4 cards of the suit and his partner has 2 cards. Also referred to as split. Cash Playing a card that is certain to win the trick. This card is known as a master. Clear a suit Knocking out the opponents’ last stopper in a suit, after which it will be possible to cash one’s tricks in the suit.

Introduction It’s always been my dream to write a book on the play of the hand. After all, I have made enough mistakes in the play over the years to cover two books! Now my goal is to help you avoid some of these errors. After all, you want to instill enough trust in your partner so that he or she will let you play a hand once in a while! The problem is that each topic is so vast, that I can't imagine any writer doing justice to the major elements of the play of the hand in one volume that could be lifted by the average person.

For many years he has been planning to assemble an in-depth study of all known card play techniques and their classification. The only thing he lacked was time for the project; now, having recently retired, he has accom- plished his ambitious task. It has been my privilege to follow its progress and watch the book take shape. A book such as this should not to be put into a beginner’s hands, but it should become a well-thumbed reference source for all players who want to improve their game.
