English term

dandies

English to French Tech/Engineering Mining & Minerals / Gems
Il s’agit d’un texte sur un site touristique : les restes d’une usine sidérurgique au Pays de Galles. On y raconte la fabrication du fer, la vie des mineurs, etc. pendant la Révolution industrielle.

Contexte : "Furnace Filler
I am a furnace filler. I fill the furnace with iron ore, coke and limestone. My sons, aged 9 and 7, help in pushing the barrows called ‘dandies’ back and forward to the top of the furnace."

Je n'ai pas trouvé le terme correspondant à "dandies" en français.

Merci !

Claire Chapman Sep 7, 2007:
I think that we have to take the speaker's word for the fact that the wheelbarrows that they used for the ore were called dandies. I found three dandy carts: a railway car for a horse, a horse hauled passenger carriage, and a spring cart used by milkmen.
