burr Explanation: I haven't found 'scannocchiamenti' anywhere, but judging from the context, I think it means 'burr'- little shavings of metal which are produced when the diameter is increased, presumably with a machine tool. There are several other words for these shavings, it all depends in what context they are produced. I don't think you can go wrong with 'burr'. Buon lavoro! |

skewed windings Explanation: Hi I am guessing as usual. Perhaps the intention is to ensure "even" winding of your coil or reel. "Scannocchiamenti" sounds as though it might be a distant cousin of "cannocchiale" (telescope), which features a series of perfectly nested concentric tubes when closed. Applying this concept to a winding process, and adding the negative "s", puts me in mind of a winding defect which perhaps could be caused or at least compounded by excess web tension. Maybe an Italian colleague could refute or confirm this possible interpretation of an apparently newly coined word. Guidance Derek |

Inconocchiare: avvolgere il pennecchio, (o quantità di materia da filare) sulla rocca. sconocchiamento sta quindi forse per svolgimento |
