Gleitdrehstauchung

22:46 Jul 6, 2014
German to English translations [PRO]
Science - Physics / symmetry operations and crystallography
German term or phrase: Gleitdrehstauchung
With no expertise in the field, I think the translation should be "glide rotation contraction", but I can't find either this or the German term on the web.

I work in architecture - the author has extended the term to refer to architectural/design structures. I'm not a scientist.

Abschluß eines barocken Chorgestühls mit einer Schnecke, einer »Gleitdrehstauchung«.

Slipturn coupling.


Explanation:
A "Stauche" is also a "socket" or "coupling sleeve". It's a guess. Good luck.
