feather yoke / spring yoke Explanation: The first translation is give by the ref. As I have no idea what that is supposed to be, I am inclined to believe that here a spring yoke (or spring frame) makes more sense than a feather yoke. Reference: http://www.berufsschulen.de/bau/engl/en-dt_f.htm |

spring yoke Explanation: I think this is component on piledrivers, mechanical hammers etc. to absorb the shocks; I'm not totally sure, but I'll see if I can find any confirmation. I should in any event steer well clear of "feather yoke" - it looks like some smart student has got hold of a dictionary and used that, rather than having any (good) idea what he was talking about. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 41 mins (2008-03-08 11:11:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And here are two sites which I'd say confirm it: http://www.tkgftbautechnik.de/english/produkte/ziehtechnik/v... http://www.tkgftbautechnik.de/deutsch/produkte/ziehtechnik/v... |
