Social Sciences - Manufacturing / Glühlampenfabriken
English term or phrase: mould boy
Kontext: Beschreibung der ersten Glühlampenfabriken (ab 1880), in der Glasbläser und **mould-boys** arbeiten.

Auf dem Web hab ich folgende Definition gefunden (alte Berufs- bzw. Tätigkeitsbezeichnung):
Mould Boy = someone who opens and shuts a hinged mould for the glass to be blown into shape.

Hat jemand eine Ahnung, wie die deutsche Entsprechung lautet? Ich bin trotz intensiver Recherchen nirgends fündig geworden :-(.
