gables Explanation: I have no idea if this is going to make sense or not, it'll depend on what your station is like, but another translation for piñón is gable (Multilingual dictionary of architecture and building terms, also in the Eurodicautom) a gable, or gable end is the triangular part of the end wall of a building with a pitched roof between the barge boards or rafters. A gable may be of any material - masonry, cladding, such as weatherboards, hung tiling, etc. HTH -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-23 15:58:47 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- sorry, forgot to add that the explanation for gables comes from the dictionary of building by Scott and Maclean -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-23 19:08:04 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If it\'s the underground, then I\'m stumped. All I can (vaguely) think of is that it\'s some kind of wheel outlet, i.e. it could be a (rack and) pinion system used in the ventilation system. I have seen this in connection with ventilation in Greenhouses, but can\'t find anything convincing. Or, it could be a mistake....???? |
