the hollow end of the tube Explanation: In French "lumière" is the standard term to denote the hollow of a tube, duct, etc.. and is commonly used in mechanics, biology, etc. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-09-18 02:28:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- sorry: "in engineering, biology, etc." (have had a long day!) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-09-18 02:29:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- in this particular context, it may simply be "the opening". |

at the end of the slots Explanation: You did ask for educated guesses! As I see it, the "lumières" are elongated holes or slots. It would appear that if the bearings are at the ends of these slots, the chain is too long and a link must be taken out. Presumably the bearings should sit in the centre of the slots for adjustment purposes. |

to close to the outlet ports Explanation: Don't we all love to be asked for educated guesses? Here goes mine: I believe Figure 6.26 in my link describes the layout of the sludge collector. My guess is that the chain bearings ('les paliers') on the top row near the outlet ports (to the left in Figure 6.26) can move somewhat in order to tension the chain. As the later wears, they may move too close to the outlet ports ('les lumières'). When that happens, the chain has to be shortened (by removing one link on each strand between two boards).
