French term

en dépression

French to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Hardened teeth for excava
Context:
Le conduit 52 présente une forme qui autorise la rotation de la clavette 7 autour d’un axe parallèle ou faiblement incliné par rapport à l’axe X33. On prévoit que, en section transversale par rapport à l’axe X33, le conduit 52 est de forme circulaire pour l’essentiel de sa circonférence. De préférence, comme montré sur la figure 8, une portion 57 de la circonférence de la section circulaire du conduit 52 est ovée, c’est à dire en dépression avec un rayon localement augmenté par rapport au rayon de la forme circulaire du reste de la circonférence. Grâce à cette disposition, le pivotement de la clavette 7 dans le conduit 52 est facilité, car la portion ovée 57 permet de réduire la friction, en étant radialement à distance de la clavette 7.

Translated as: i.e. depressed.
At present it is me that is becoming depressed with chunks of text missing, different ways of translating fourreau - sleeve, sheath and even thermowell, whatever that is.
Time for a break, any offers most welcome.
TIA Chris.

Other reference for "fourreau" … le crampon antidérapant (18) comprend en outre un fourreau (14) disposé autour du corps (11), le fourreau (14) étant du métal dur ou d’un matériau semblable à un métal dur, et lequel crampon antidérapant (18) est destiné à être installé dans la bande de roulement (17) d’un pneu de véhicule, …
:
The anti-skid stud further includes a sleeve fitted around the body, the sleeve being of a hard metal, or a material like a hard metal, and which anti-skid stud is intended to be installed into a tread of a vehicle tyre.

I prefer "sleeve"
sleeve and sheath mismatched Conformément à l'invention on prévoit d'entourer chacun des rouleaux d'un convoyeur par un fourreau de diamètre intérieur supérieur å celui extérieur dudit rouleau, de telle manière que si une charge qui se trouve supportée par plusieurs rouleaux voisins est arrêtez par une butée, les rouleaux continuent de tourner sans entrainer leurs fourreaux
:
On notera ce propos que plus les charges sont lourdes, plus la pression entre le fourreau et son rouleau est importante, de telle sorte qu'on obtient automatiquement un excellent entrainement des charges quels que soient leurs poids.

… the rollers 4 continue to rotate without driving their sleeves 7. The periphery of the sleeves is provided with annular rings 10 which increase the coefficient of friction between the sleeves and the loads.
:
It will be noted in this connection that the heavier the loads, the greater the pressure between the sheath and its roller, so that an excellent drive of the loads is automatically obtained whatever their weight.

All the drawings / textual descriptions you might need to make sense of this device can be found here:

BTW the first page of the PDF has a drawing with a legend in EN - and then the same drawing with a legend in FR. Might come in handy?

Didn't go throuh the whole text, but I can't see why any "thermowell" would be needed at all in this schmilblick.

depressed

More specifically, L. similis has previously been described as similar in appearance to L. triangulum; however, L. similis possesses a less depressed neural arch in the trunk region (more similar to that of L. calligaster) with an inverse U-shaped rather than depressed ovoid-shaped neural canal, a thinner hemal keel.

Tadpoles in stage 39 had a total length of 30.31 mm, a body length of 12.45 mm (corresponding to 41.07% of their total length), were ovoid shaped in dorsal view, slightly depressed in lateral view, and with a dental formula 2(2)/3(1)

Peer comment(s):

agree Daryo : nothing wrong with "depressed" // BTW the same term is used in geography for "depressions" that are lower than the surrounding terrain.

Referring to Figure 8 would provide valuable clarification.
Note from asker:
Thanks. Figure 8 would be useful, but there again so would Figures 1 - 10.

extending vertically downwards

It sounds to me as if this egg-shaped hole is like an inverted teardrop, or an egg balanced on its little end.

'Preferably, as shown in figure 8, one part 57 of the periphery (can a circumference be anything other than circular?) of the circular (but it's not, is it!) of conduit (something like 'opening'?) 52 is egg-shaped, i.e. extending vertically downwards with a radius at that point larger than the radius of the ciruclar shape of the rest of the periphery (circumference)'

OK, Mr Webster tells me a circumference is 'the line bounding a circle, a rounded surface, or an area suggesting a circle', but I'm not going back to correct my suggestion above.

Of course there is no guarantee that the drawings don't show the pointy end of the egg shape pointing in another direction ...

PS - 'Thermowell' takes me back to my nuclear days ... Another term for it in French is doigt de gant, which gives a better picture of what it is. Imagine a steel tube sealed at one end that is inserted and welded into a hole in the side of a pipe such that you could insert a thermometer (or your finger) into it. The thermometer reads the temperature of the air inside the thermowell, that air being the same temperature as the liquid in the pipe. And the thermometer remains clean, uncorroded, etc. The same principle is used in indirect immersion heaters, where the heating element sits inside a closed tube inside the pipe. The element thus will not be affected by limescale.
I very much doubt you have thermowells anywhere near your excavator bucket.
Note from asker:
Hi, thanks for the thermowell info. In fact I do have one on a shelf somewhere. It was in an old central heating boiler, solid brass with an oval window to see the glass thermometer inside.
