Grading comment

Dekuji vsem za pomoc. Po diskuzi se zakaznikem je nejpresnejsi preklad "labyrith seals/gland". Jde o specialni bezdotykove tesneni umisteno na hrideli rotoru, kvuli zabraneni unikani pary. Nakruzky a vykruzky labyrintu jsou umisteny proti britum na povrchu prislusne casti rotoru, cimz se vytvari labyrint.
