Clarification request(s) and response
Graham macLachlan (asker): 8:21pm Jul 2, 2004: Good guess Fox76, but the text has in the same sentence 'rondelle plate et rondelle type CS'. In this light 'carbon steel' is less (though not entirely un-)convincing. Any washer experts out there?

Beware: It has nothing to do with a conical spring as your glossary entry \"conical-spring washer\" suggests. The semantic units are \"conical\" and \"spring washer\", so no hyphen.
