Definition from
Malmö Flash Mob / Facebook:
En flash mob är när en grupp människor plötsligt samlas på en offentlig plats, och där gör någonting oväntat för att sedan snabbt försvinna från platsen.<br /><br />Tanken är att det ska se ut som en spontan aktion för att få omvärlden att reagera. Vårt mål är att göra detta som en kul grej för att röra runt i vår vardag.
Example sentences:
Flash mob lurade Festival-tv Kl 18.35 ägde en flash mob rum på Gustav Adolfs torg, mitt i festivalvimlet. Festival-tv blev blåsta på konfekten. Rätt åt oss! (Sydsvenskan )
Onsdagen den 3 december anordnar Morgonpasset sin alldeles egna flash mob på centralstationer runtom i landet. Exakt klockan 8.10 börjar vi klappa eller stampa takten mitt i morgonrusningen. (Sveriges Radio P3)
Den första aktionen genomförd av en flash mob i Sverige bestod av en grupp på ett tjugotal personer som köade framför en och samma bankomat i Stockholm. Detta trots att det fanns ytterligare två bankomater bredvid. På ett givet klockslag tog samtliga köande upp en mobiltelefon och började prata. (MILOO Nöjesguide)
Note from asker:
| I believe "virage" may refer to an auxiliary drive, possibly going off at an angle. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBemBuOrWlY. Your GV is the "groupe virage" and the "réducteur" is the gearbox. |
| For further clues and clarification, "CMD offre des groupes de commandes mécaniques de transmissions de puissance pour ces fours: avec un entraînement traditionnel comprenant la couronne dentée FerryNod®, le pignon et ses paliers, le réducteur principal et ses accouplements ainsi que le groupe de virage." in http://www.cmdgears.com/industries/environnement/ and "Hilfsantriebe Auxiliary Drives Groupes de virage " in http://pdf.directindustry.fr/pdf/flender-gmbh-siemens-company/flender-elevateurs-godets/7015-132664.html |
| Here, 'virage' = 'barring' — turning soemthing a lot slower than its normal operating speed for checking, etc. So it would clearly need an extra reduction gear(box) to achieve this much slower speed. |
| Absolutely. Here is a good illustration of the very grinding process in question: https://www.motioncontroltips.com/what-is-an-inching-drive/. Like the author, I like the idea of a "Sunday drive"! Ha ha. |
