peer agreement (net): +1| Handle-o-meter Handle-o-meter Explanation: It's a proper name, and the only instances I've found of it on FR sites have kept the original name, as you might expect. I have been unable to find any more generic name for this kind of apparatus in either language. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 35 mins (2007-03-04 22:25:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It was invented by Johnson & Johnson, so it might well be the first and perhaps only machine of its kind. |

Gardez le. Explanation: Même si les tests ont généralement une dénommination (mesure de frottement/pelage, mesure de fléxibilité), l'intrument se contente de "appareil de..." ou "instrument de..." Il y a bien des noms mais définis pour un seul test : usomètre, flexomètre (même si probablement la machine en fait plusieurs) Le plus proche serait "Manipulomètre". De plus comme Tony M le dit, c'est un nom propre. |

Anyway, The French TAF web site shows the "test de maniabilité" in their list of products available for sale. And in the PDF for the Handle-O-Meter, they show the name of the test again.
