| clockface ... dans n'importe quelle orientation. Explanation: Imagine for a moment that the 'thread' is the pivot of a 'wheel of fortune'. When the arrow stops turning, it will point to any number at random. So, in your harvester, when the 'thread' stops turning, the grease point could be in clear view - or it could be hidden from view, and in the latter case there is apparently an accident waiting to happen. The nature of the thread meant they could end anywhere on the "clockface"". --> Le vis était tel qu'une fois qu'il a fini de tourner il pourrait se trouver dans n'importe quelle orientation. |
