the casing"s circumference Explanation: "Enveloppe" is often translated as a casing for all kinds of mechanics. It is difficult to know without a diagram if you are referring to the circumference of a round casing, or just the round casing itself. There are lots of references if you check the link to the GDT below. Look up "enveloppe" and then "génie mécanique". I hope this helps. Reference: http://www.granddictionnaire.com |
