Duplicating machines were the predecessors of modern document-reproduction technology. They have now been replaced by scanners, laser printers and photocopiers, but for many years they were the primary means of reproducing documents for mass distribution. Like the typewriter these machines were children of the second phase of the industrial revolution which started near the end of the 19th century. The second phase of the industrial revolution is also called the Second Industrial Revolution...11.7.2006 20:30

Used 8 mm film projectors can sometimes be found on various buy and sell websites, such as tori.fi. Perhaps the simplest option would be to digitize the old films. Once the films are digitized they are easier to store and watch in the future. There are plenty of digitizing services in Helsinki as well as elsewhere in Finland. 31.5.2018 12:56Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

I checked the whole paragraph and the context for the word. The word is obsolescent and not used anymore. I would interpret it as an euphemism for a prostitute. The other interpretation would be that it refers to woman from high social class. But if you look at the context, you can see that all the occupations the narrator lists are working class occupations: shop assistants, dressmakers, working class daughters and servants. And before that:...14.3.2018 15:38Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

1. Finnish uses passive voice when the subject is unknown or the action is more important than the subject. The passive contains the idea of a (human) agent, but the agent is not indicated directely, hence there is no subject. Here the agent would probably be the audience or commentators of the game, and the passive reinforces the idea that there was a general consesus of Ranieri's abilities. "Oli jo ehditty" means literally that "(they) had already had enough time to...18.5.2016 15:33Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

In the first example, there is obviously a typing error, the space being in a wrong place. What was meant was this: "Saako teillä tosiaan lapsetkin käydä milloin tahansa?" This is quite a colloquial expression; a grammatically correct version would be "Saavatko lapsetkin tosiaan käydä teillä milloin tahansa?" In example number two, the typing error is a missing M in the beginning. Very presumably the idea was to say "Meillä ei ole...28.11.2017 09:16Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

Laktoosin vaihtelevasta määrästä eri maissa ei ole viitteitä, mutta maidon prosessointi meijerissä näyttäisi vaikuttavan sen sietokykyyn eri ihmisillä. Tutkijoilla on asiasta eri mielipiteitä. Maidon  prosessoinnilla tarkoitetaan homogenointia ja pastörointia. Molemmat ovat yleisiä käytäntöjä Suomessa. Ne kuitenkin joidenkin  mielipiteiden mukaan tekevät maidosta vaikeammin sulavaa laktoosi-...6.11.2017 13:54Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto
