Explanation:
if what you're dealing with is a rocker for a chemical lab

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 2002-03-18 22:49:44 (GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

in that context, a rocker is a stand-alone device used to \"agitate\" a mixture or whatever other substances

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 2002-03-18 22:52:21 (GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

and the Spanish for \"rocker\", at least in biochemical labs, is \"sacudidor\" - as subtly opposed to an \"agitador\" (\"agitador\" is the Spanish for \"shaker\"; and \"mezclador\", the Spanish for \"mixer\")
