French term
aile (d'un pignon)
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Mechanics / Mech Engineering
pinions
The definition is "Nom donné aux dents d'un pignon".
GDT proposes "leaf" though this isn't part of the definition of "leaf" in the Merriam Websters.
A KudoZ search turns up lots of "ailes" but no leaves, only wings!
Perhaps someone can confirm/correct ?
Many thanks.
