showing the vertical line


Explanation:
「垂直出し」とは下げ振り定規(plumb rule)やレーザ鉛直器(laser plummet instrument)などを使って水平面・地平面に対して直角の方向を示すことです。
従って、「垂直出しの最大揚程は1mです。」の英訳は次の通りでよいと思います。
The maximum pumping height for showing the vertical line is one meter.


Example sentence(s):
  • Beeton's Dictionary of Industries and Commerce - Google ブック検索結果Samuel Orchart Beeton著 p261
  • A weight of lead attached to a string, used by builders and other artificers for the purpose of showing the vertical line.
