Tech/Engineering - Sonstige / other | | Französisch Begriff oder Satz: arrondi (here) | Hi everyone. another one that gives me headaches...:-) "arrondi" which seems to be a noun here (?). Can anyone give me a translation/explanation for the above word? thanks a lot
"Des aménagements de carrosserie permettront d’assurer une grande esthétique.
En particulier il faudra prévoir:
•Des arrondis ‘‘haut de caisse’’, au dessus du pavillon
•Un arrondi bas de caisse
•L’aménagement d’un arrondi avant dans le cercle de giration, intégrant les compresseurs de climatisation et une échelle encastrée d’accès pavillon."
thanks again.

| | See explanation below... [NFG] | Erklärung:
As Anna has so rightly said, this must be some kind of rounded edge to the bodywork --- at the top, along the bottom edges, and at the front (presumably this is some kind of semi-trailer?). This was very common at one time (cf. my own mobile, 1963), then went out of fashion, and now seems to be back in again!
I did think of 'rounded fairing', but strictly speaking, that's not QUITE the same thing. This rounded edge will probably have quite a large radius, it's almost certain to be more than just an 'edging strip' or 'bead'
I think it's one (rather optimistic) way to try and make a large, clumsy vehicle appear slightly less so.

Although the term is slightly skewed from your case, Vaughan\'s suggestion of \'streamlining\' [Oxford prefers without hyphen] might well be an elegant solution --- though you might need to add in the \'rounded\' or even \'radiussed\', just to be quite clear. |
