pentstock Explanation: I found this translation in an old construction dictionary and I believe it is a type of enclosed tube, although I must admit I have never heard of it before and could not honestly say if it would fit the bill in this case. On the same page of the aforesaid dictionary it gives "diagonal strut" for Druckstrebe. |
