David Williams Germany ASKER My pleasure! 12:31 Jun 15, 2010  Pleased to help :-) casper (X) @ David Williams 12:03 Jun 15, 2010  Hmm...I see the advantages (of posting in the Discussion box) *now*. Thank you :-) David Williams Germany ASKER Because 11:58 Jun 15, 2010  i) the discussion allows other people to participate ii) it allows us to edit what we have written, if necessary for any reason iii) it is displayed in much easier to follow reverse chronological order than the notes and addenda below the answers. casper (X) @ David Williams 11:55 Jun 15, 2010  In fact, I'm puzzled as to why you didn't post your comment in the "Notes to answerer" box, as you did the first time. David Williams Germany ASKER Thanks, Jennifer 11:34 Jun 15, 2010  although I'm puzzled as to why you didn't respond to my reply to the discussion in the discussion box. David Williams Germany ASKER Thanks for the addendum, Jennifer 09:58 Jun 15, 2010  In that case, positioning pins/shaft would still seem to make sense to me. Michael Harris Germany Sounds 07:11 Jun 15, 2010  good David Williams Germany ASKER Absteckbolzen 06:30 Jun 15, 2010  appear to be 'positioning pins' or 'alignment pins', so could this be a 'positioning shaft'? David Williams Germany ASKER It is used for 15:12 Jun 14, 2010  filling the holes in the fuselage, through which passengers access the aircraft, while in flight. These holes are thus also referred to as doors and are used to provide access to the aircraft. Michael Harris Germany any idea 15:03 Jun 14, 2010  what it is used for (the aircraft door?) David Williams Germany ASKER In case it helps, this is followed by: 12:35 Jun 14, 2010  z.B. Anhebewellendummy (Rohr verwenden) Automatic update in 00:

Grading comment Thanks!
Notes to answerer Asker: I don't see how they arrive at the conclusion that 'locking bolt' "makes complete sense", given that 'abstecken' has nothing to do with locking (or even connecting)?
