Walter Lockhart Ries (asker): 11:21am Feb 21, 2004: I had already checked Eurodicautom - As to angle of dip and angle of tilt, I suspect that glass-making is very different from lens grinding (generating). Can anyone provide examples in an optics context of angle of dip or angle of tilt? Walter Lockhart Ries (asker): 11:21am Feb 21, 2004: Oops! - I meant of inclination angle, not angle of dip or angle of tilt. Sorry. :-(
Explanation: Aren't we talking about the "angle of inclination" of the grindstone, as it is applied to the lens to be ground? I can't think of a better way of putting it - although of course the suggestions already posted could be equally valid depending on the textual context. But to a simple engineer, this what I would use...
