Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / armoured vehicles | | Spanish term or phrase: altas | In a description of the complex process of turning a Mark 1 tank in the First World War:
"Para un giro rápido se desbloqueaba el diferencial engranando las marchas altas en una cadena y las cortas en la otra: se frenaba sumultáneamente la cadena de alta y así giraba hacia el lado de las altas."
My query relates to the use of "de alta/de las altas". Is it referring to the track which has been put into the higher gear? |
