Notes to answerer
Asker: Merci, cela me semble tr�s correct pour la deuxi�me phrase. Mais qu'en est-il pour la premi�re phrase ?

Asker: Legal documents are full of such little words which are hardly used by anyone nowdays, aside the legal/patent people ;-) In the first sentance, I am not sure where to put the Y en the French sentence. An idea anyone ?


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Anna Quail: Just a fancy way of saying "to it" . Seems to be that sort of text... thereto, thereof, said hinge block. You'll have to try and keep the translation rather lofty too. Bon courage :-)
