see below Explanation: Schlauchtrockenturm makes me think of the fire department. However, the only references I could find were Trockenturm = absorption tower (chem.) - Ernst 1. drying tower - Chemie & chem. Technik 2. drying jar (lab) [gas] - also Chemie & chem. Technik Nothing on Eckturm, except for Ecktürmchen [Bau] - corner turret - Ernst Hope this helps a bit... |

tubular drying tower / drying turret Explanation: Something of a riddle. The first is obviously a drying device used in chemistry for drying purposes. The tubular = Slauch aspect is very likely intended to gain surface area. Now for the corner tower, which I found on-line and also know from architecture, no mystery about the usual translation. HOWEVER, in this context it probably refers to some modification of a drying tower, and not the turrets as on the Chateau Laurier in downtown Ottawa. In your context, Eckturm is probably a thin drying tower, or drying turret. |

Nothing really new Explanation: The answers given above regard Schlauchtrockenturm (tubular drying tower) appear to be accurate. With regard to Eckturm, I came across this once while on internship with a coaling mine company. Eckturm was a simple "corner tower", which essentially was part of a coal handling system. Question is: does this fit into your translation project. Looking at your other questions, I am not really certain. |
