LEVER CONDITION IS RELATIVELY TIGHTENED 50%

Sorry I just made that all up I really don't know what it says.

I'll guess it means,..

Move the lever about 50% based on it's relative condition or position?

Searching the internet it looks like Fugtighed = Air Humidity I don't know the context of the drawing though.

Try this:

Good luck guessing which language the source is. I tried a few while wating for an assembly to load- some of the words have Danish matches. I wonder if it is Afrikaans?

I think Afrikaans has Dutch roots, not Danish.

Search google for "Leveres Konditioneret Til Relativ Fugtighed" All the result pages are .dk : Danemark. Now you know the language Just found this :

also indicates danish. provides a bad translation. My guess is : "Supplied conditionned at 50% relative moisture"

I am very sure it isn't Dutch! Btw. Afrikaans has indeed Dutch roots. The text string looks to me like it's just very bad english.

Thanks for all the great attempts!

I cross posted this in the Rhino NG as I know there are a lot of Rhino users in the Netherlands, and I got this response.

********** It's Danish.

"To be delivered, conditioned, to 50 % relative humidity"

********** So, Philippe was the closest, but many thanks to all!

Danish is one of the strangest-sounding languages that I've ever heard spoken. To my ear it doesn't sound Indo-European, or Germanic, or like a Romance language. I speak, read and write German, and of course Danish is a Germanic language, but it sure doesn't sound even the slightest bit like it -- contrastingly to Swedish, Norwegian, Dutch, and even English (another basically Germanic language).

Danish is not a language......it's a throat disease, once said by John Cleese. And I agree...even though it's a close neighbour I have big problems understanding them

Giggle giggle giggle . . . yeah, I to am much more comfortable with someting a bit more "homey" like rumanian for that really down home indo-euroepan feel. LOL

For anyone who is interested in the classification of IE / germanic languages and a little primer on historical/comparative linguisitics, there is a great book callled the _Loom Of Language_ by Lancelot Hogben. This is a really great little book for studying this subject form a beginners standpoint.

Danish and Norwegian are actually very closely related. Written Danish is almost identical to Norwegian, but the pronunciations are completely different. Maybe the Aquavit?
