hand specimen / operational specimen Explanation: That is the translation that Ernst, "Wörterbuch der industriellen Technik", offers. However, this term is used almost exclusively for geology related research, which is why I like "operating specimen" or "operational specimen" better. There are more context-oriented sites to be found for this phrase on Google. The difference between a "functional specimen" and this term are, that the first illustrates the functions, and the second actually works, similarly to the final product.

working model Explanation: Working model (assembly and finish) Next, working models are assembled. Those working models should preferrably comprise all the device's functions and essentially conform to the final product in both its part construction and outward appearance. |
