German term or phrase: Watt'sche Gestänge
Some sort of linkage to do with motor vehicles.

Gattungsemäße Lageranordnungen kommen beispielweise als Zentralgelenke bei Watt'schen Gestängen zum Einsatz. Watt'sche Gestänge werden insbesondere bei Hinterachsen hochwertiger Kraftfahrzeuge werwendet. Dabei verbindet das Watt'sche Gestänge die Radaufhängungen der beiden Hinterräder dergestalt miteinander sowie mit dem Chassis bzw. mit dem Farzeugbau, dass eine Einfederung eines bzw. beider Hinterräder ohne Behinderung möglich ist, während jedoch seitliche Bewegungen der Hinterachse bzw. der Hinterräder gegenüber dem Chassis, bei anderen Bauweisen des Watt'schen Gestänges auch Wankbewegungen der Karosserie, unterbunden bzw. reduziert werden.
