French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Ships, Sailing, Maritime / ship speeds
French term or phrase: vitesse LA
Term in context (this is on a ship): "une instrumentation dédiée sera installée afin de vérifier les grands paramètres (mesure de couple, mesure de vitesse LA et mesure de la consommation gasoil par des biberons)".

Needless to say, this is a hard one to Google - any ideas what the "LA" stands for here?

Thanks!

neutral  Tony M: Word order is wrong for EN — if you mean 'the speed as given by the log', then it would be 'log speed'; your 'speed log' would tend to mean 'historique de vitesse'.
