German term
Pfeife
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Automotive / Cars & Trucks
This is to do with car upholstery. Piping would spring to mind, but the \\\'zusätzliche Schaumfüllung\\\' suggests otherwise. If some kind soul has a glossary from Untertürkheim or nearby, it might well help ;-)
"So gibt es nur Elegance und Avantgarde als Erweiterungslinien, wie sich zum Beispiel an den Sitzen gut ablesen lässt – und was uns zu den gefüllten **Pfeifen** bringt, deren Begriff eher aus dem Orgelbau denn aus dem Tabakwarenbereich entlehnt scheint: Es geht dabei um eine spezielle, handwerklich anspruchsvolle Art der Tapezierung, wobei es sich um eine **zusätzliche Schaumfüllung** unter dem Sitzbezug aus Stoff oder Leder handelt."

Thanks, but it's not googling nicely for me - it looks like it comes from musical instruments..
In Addis it is warm at daytime and cool at nighttime, as expected :-)

looks good :-)
My guess reminds me to an Ethiopian poster print I saw in Gondar:
Do it!
Right the
first time!

| Hey Harry! You might have something there, you cunning fox. :-) It's Googling nicely. I hope you are keeping nice and warm in Addis. :-) |

pipes
I think given they go on to talk about both tobacco and organ, that it has to be pipes in English too!

I think 'piping' would make the transition to tobacco and organ-making more difficult, although I know it's a more common term on seats. I don't suppose you have a picture?
Funny you should mention Rileys, we have one! ;-)

| Thanks Mary. I shall ruminate. Maybe this is indeed **pipes** rather than the **piping** on the edges of seats in cars like Rileys? ;-) I'm confused because it's under the car seat. 'Seat pipes 'on Google seems to refer to motorbike exhausts. |
| Yes, I noticed the Riley bit on your website! This is a magazine article, and it's the one PDF they have not sent me yet, bless them. |
