Explanation:
With respect to the first answerer, but this has nothing to do with annealing (heat treatment that changes material properties). Nachglüh is afterglow and Nachglühleistung is afterglow capability - a property that allows less smoke and quieter run.

Thanks for the help! I almost had this one, but just wasn't 100% sure. By the way, Marcus, I think I worked with you when I was a PM at ForeignExchange. I'm a freelance translator now. I hope you're well!
