Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering
Italian term or phrase: a filo
It's a document describing Hotel facilities.
" Gli impianti tecnologici a fluido ed a filo sono:"
It then goes on to list things like AC, watering systems, plumbing etc.
I was thinking of translating "a fluido" as hydraulic but can't find any definitions for "a filo".
Thanks....Nadia

Explanation:
Hi Nadia
Just an alternative idea... or even something like "electrical/data and technological systems". I wouldn't expect to see the word "hydraulic" in this context.
Cheers
