chuck wagon
Explanation:
A chuck wagon is a simple portable kitchen on wheel first used in the West by cowboys. Since then, the term is generally used as a simple vehicle for snacks, etc. Sometimes I've heard the expression used for a moveable wagon that contains what the essentials in whatever the situation is.

chuckdocka


Explanation:
I en svarv spänns arbetsstycket upp mellan 'dockorna'. Jag har aldrig hört talas om en 'chuckvagn' i samband med någon tillverkningsmaskin men kan tänka mig termen 'chuckdocka' som passande här.
