overslagactiviteiten Explanation: van graan natuurlijk. en dat je daar een elevator of andere ingewikkelde apparatuur voor gebruikt is voor deze context niet wezenlijk. En voor insiders is het impliciet. |

peer agreement (net): +1grain elevator Explanation: I believe, with the reference to grain, this must refer to a grain elevator: a warehouse or series of storage tanks for the storage, lifting and distribution of grain, according to Webster's Dictionary. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-10-01 21:20:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry; I have no idea what the Dutch word or term would be. In almost every town in the Midwest of the US, there used to be a grain elevator. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_elevator shows photos. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-10-01 21:38:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Country elevator" and "grain elevator" appear to be used interchangeably. "In its day, this country elevator represented the peak of efficiency in grain handling." http://www.virtualsk.com/current_issue/a_wheat_museum.html I know, I know--still doesn't give you a Dutch translation. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-10-01 21:39:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- How about "graansilogebouw"? |
