Engineering (general) | | Dutch term or phrase: bokstandaards | I am currently translating a short text for a firm specialising in interchangeable frame systems.
As the text is so short, there is very little context unfortunately:
Wisselraamsysteem: een met klemveren scharnierend posterwissellijstsysteem;
verstekgezaagd of met ronde hoeken. Met de verbindingsstaanders en scharen kan snel een “straatbord” worden gemaakt. Als kompleet product uit voorraad leverbaar.
Standaard afmetingen: A4, A3, A2, A1, A0, 1000 x 700 mm en bokstandaards.
All suggestions welcome - KudoZ points will be awarded within 72 hours.
Many thanks,
Pikey |
