flange


Explanation:
Hi Anne
I am guessing of course, but I remember discovering many years ago that cartella can translate as flange. Although this refers specifically to vehicle wheels, there is a possibility that the same lexical association could apply to your application.
Cheers

neutral  Derek Smith: Greetings: I hear what you're saying here Sandy, but I *think* this is the total internal space subjected to vacuum and is perhaps "involucro" in Italian. Resp. Derek
