peer agreement (net): +1comment Explanation: Based on google hits for Lotloch (aside from your question), it is trade jargon and/or invented for the sake of your document. You could use 'plumb hole' if the term is effectively defined in your text (as appears to be the case from the provided context if it is quote from the document), although in general usage it means a hole drilled or bored perpendicular to a surface or aligned vertically. A small hole in a panel to allow something to pass is often called a 'keyhole' in English, sou you could also call it a 'plumb-bob keyhole'. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 mins (2008-06-06 10:41:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- That should read 'in this context it is trade jargon or...' Most hits for Lotloch refer to a feature of a printed circuit board (a hole that receives a component lead for soldering). |

lead hole / pilot hole Explanation: See: http://www.diracdelta.co.uk/science/source/p/i/pilot hole/so... Kuceras "sounding line" changed into "sounding hole" does not hit well; is is used for musical elements. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 Tage3 Stunden (2008-06-09 13:13:56 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- @Cox: die getroffene Auswahl ist wahrscheinlich besser; habe jedenfalls nichts passenderes gefunden. Danke nochmal für Ihren Hinweis und Grüße. |
