w/n

English translation: would not

English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Car parts manufucturing

English term or phrase: w/n

What does "w/n" stand for?
Does anybody know? Is it an abbreviation of "when"???

The sentence I found "w/n" in is:
"Dimensional masters w/n zero..." or
"Transfer robot between Lo and Hi temp chambers crashed, w/n reset..."

Thanks in advance.

Selected answer:would not

Explanation:
- Dimensional masters would not zero - something to do with dimensional accuracy

- Transfer robot.... crashed, would not reset

Not very common abbreviation, seems to be favoured by techies.

with no

Explanation:
w/o stands for without, and in the sentences you provide, "with no" seems to fit...I prefer to see the complete sentence, though. if the word after w/n is a noun, "with no" may fit, but if the word after w/n is a verb, it may not.

Asker: I thought it was a typo of "within", but this person uses "w/n" twice in separate sentences. Thanks anyway.
