Dutch term or phrase:laskar
Gasflessen waarvan de gezamenlijke waterinhoud meer bedraagt dan 125 liter, met uitzondering van werkvoorraden of op een laskar geplaatste gasflessen of gasflessen die zijn aangesloten aan een verzamelleiding, worden opgeslagen in een daarvoor bestemde opslagvoorziening.
What you say might be right ... most of the time, but not always. People definitely also use the term "portable welder" to refer to the whole thing.
Furthermore, following your own logic, if you call it a "welding cart/trolley", this might also refer to one without a welder. That is, just the cart/trolley part (aka "wheel kit").
However, having said that, I do think the safest translation of "laskar" in this context is indeed "welding cart/trolley". But as this is a potential glossary entry, I gave both.
Thank you for clarifying! Addendum: that refers to the portable welder issue, not the time stamps. I did assume you did not mean anything with it, but I wanted to clarify the timing issue for others.
I disagree. As I see it, it makes no sense to start a discussion with Brian in my own answer, for various reasons.
1. It would be unfair, because he would have no space to actually answer anything I said to him there 2. An answer is an answer and a discussion is a discussion.
My answer space is reserved for: my answer. If I want to discuss sth, I will do it here, where the other person, or people, can actually reply. Also, you say this every time, and then happily use the D-box yourself for discussing things. This discussion area is perfect for discussing things. Why not use it?
The welding cart or welding trolley carries the portable welder. Sometimes, when ordering a welding cart or welding trolley, it is necessary to stipulate what type of welder it is intended to carry. Some trolleys can carry more than one type of portable welder and they typically also carry other bits of equipment besides the welder(s) such as plasma cutters and spare gas. As for Lianne's comment to my agreement to her answer, I was not criticising Lianne for "snatching" anything from me. Only implying that of course I agreed with her answer since it coincided with my own contribution. She can have the points with my blessing.
All this stuff below could have been put in an added note to your answer.
Where Brian can see it even more easily than here.
Apart from the other unwelcome consequences , I think it's kind of weird to start a 'discussion' from here with someone who commented on your answer below.
Additionally, by your acting like this other participants will soon lose track of what is happening here
I think "portable welder" is used both to refer to a welding cart with a portable welder in/on it, and to the whole thing, but what do I know?
I sent an email to the GWIT support email address, and one to Graham's old address, but haven't heard back yet. I hope someone will continue the service. People can whine about it all they want but the GWIT has saved me a lot of work on many an occasion.
I am sorry to hear about Graham, and no wonder "he" did not reply recently when I had trouble reinstalling the offline GWIT after a computer crash. It seems that the welding cart could carry the portable welder.
I'm not manipulating anyone into anything. I'm just puzzled, that's all. As you can see, our answers crossed, and, we agreed with each other's answers. The early bird gets the worm, so Lianne will get the points, as she should.
There is only a tiny text field to address Brian over at my answer, which is why I did it here in the D-box, which is one of its uses.
I'm sure they're both fine. That's not what's puzzling me. I just don't get this constant criticism of the GWIT. I'd like to see any of us here produce a better technical dictionary of that size on our own. That, and the Onroerend Goed Lexicon, are both great resources for technical subjects, and can be very useful.
Incidentally, the author of the GWIT passed away very recently, which is also why it annoys me a little more than usual when I see people taking potshots at (part of) his life's work. In any case, I thought Graham did a great job and hope that someone will continue his work. He took the ancient Groot Polytechnisch Woordenboek (originally created by G. Schuurmans Stekhoven, if I remember correctly) and added a great number of terms to it. I wonder who will take over now...
Care to explain exactly what you disagree with in my answer? Do you disagree with either of my suggested translations (portable welder + welding trolley), or with the dictionary itself?
