empreinte


Explanation:
Marque laissée sur les dents de la couronne avec du bleu de mécanicien, de la peinture ou autre sur les dents du pignon d'attaque

Vidéo YouTube pour expliquer la manoeuvre:

L'empreinte est la surface sur laquelle les dents sont en contact pour la transmission de mouvement (diapo 31):

c'est pourquoi on utilise aussi parfois "portée", voir "portée sur la pointe de la dent," probable signification de "high" ici (le texte utilise aussi empreinte et divers autres termes, la cohérence n'est pas son fort)
