Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation | | French term or phrase: longrines | I'm having a hard time deconstructing this sentence:
"Les transformateurs seront mis en place sur des rails au niveau des **longrines** des massifs des transformateurs."
There are two places that I'm stuck on - I'll post the other in a separate question. Here I'm wondering what definition they are using for "longrines" |
