peer agreement (net): +2burr Explanation: Most certainly the German word is not the best of choices (the author probably being a little elder, as the term seems a bit antiquated). The German should be "Grat", thus the English translation should be "burr" which corresponds to the context as everything needs to be absolutely smooth in a clockwork, all burrs removed. |
