French blueprint reading, need helpp

etire = stretch amiante = asbestos

need a little help here, trying to read the material list on a French dwg.



I got this so far



acier = steel



ac. doux = mild steel



ac. dur = hard steel (a retianing ring in this case)



don't know what:



ac. etire =??? has the lines over the e's (this is a pin with grooves for retaining rings)



amlante or amiante = ???



My copy of the print is a little fuzzy. Any help would be appreicated.



Thank You, Randy

it is babel fish, pretty nifty translator

is says amlante is asbestos or gold?

what the hell is stretch steel?

date on prints is 1965 if that gives a clue. pin is 10mm dia x 30mm lg. with two grooves for retaining rings these attach an air cylinder to a clevis.

clevis is listed as "ac.etire" also.

these would appear to be gaskets, so that works.

I only need to make the pins and levers.

Thank You, Randy

could it mean cold drawn or cold rolled?

No it's not, actually, étiré is cold drawn (drawn IS a bit like stretched you know...) or cold rolled.

Amiante is definitely asbestos.

However, "aimant" is a magnet...

Yeah. I slapped myself in the head right after sending but someone else had corrected my error.
