Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Collaudo di componenti di un auto
English term or phrase: "CASING"
E' un testo storico che tratta del collaudo di una Bugatti Tipo 44 del 1929 fatto dal pilota-donna Elisabeth Junek in India per verificarne la risposta su terreni impervi del paese. La frase è la seguente:
"she noted a number of shortcomings, which included overheating of the engine, hard and noisy gear changes, the CRANKCASE EXHAUST and battery being in danger since the chassis was too low, and most importantly, ‘One has to ford many rivers, rarely finding a bridge, there being ferry barges, very dangerous for the CASING and exhaust pipe’."
Non riesco a capire di quale tipo di "causing" possa parlare in riveriferimento alle "chiatte di ferro" (ferry barges).

"casing"
telaio


Explanation:
"Casing" si può riferire a molte cose, a seconda dell'ambito di cui si tratta. Nel caso di automobili, è si la scatola motore, ma anche il telaio (vedi sia il dizionario Garzanti che Hoepli). Io opterei per telaio perchè se si fosse voluto riferire al motore, credo avrebbe specificato meglio, visto che il discorso è molto generico. Per me vuol dire che il telaio dell'auto può subire dei danni durante il trasporto sulle chiatte (ferry barges).
