travelling crane
I cannot discover what this is in english: This is the sentence- - it concerns the action on a travelling crane:
Les actions horizontales sont considérées en freinage, c'est à dire agissant dans le même sens et en coincement, c'est à dire créant un couple dont la valeur est donnée par le produit de l'écartement entre galets ou axe des bougies extrêmes et les actions horizontales agissant en sens inverse.

And before some bright spark points it out, I know "bougies" are not necessarly candles in a technical context.... But it is hard to see, given that we are talking about the mechanical forces acting at a fairly large scale, that this can be anything other than a typo....

: Yes of course! The 'u' often creeps in there, presumably because people aren't quite sure exactly how it ought to be spelt in FR — boguie ?!

According to Larousse, it can also be spelt "boggie", and they borrowed it from English. But it sounds odd to me too....
