Acronyms

#1

Beitrag: # 19242Beitrag PaulHeller »

As a new person (pease be nice), and a native English speaker who is trying to learn the technical German words, terms and abbreviations, what do FS, LS, and FSG stand for? I will guess that FS means fernschreiber.

This forum is full of abbreviations. It took a while for me to reverse engineer WR and ZV but I eventually got it.

It is funny to see some of the German words translated into strange English words. My favorite for the moment is “Walzendosen” which translates to roller boxes! :llach: I think it is called a jack in America, although the 1/4 inch jack used in the United States is much less sophisticated.

Is there a wiki or a post somewhere that defines all the acronyms and translates them to English? If not, I might start one!

Hello guys

I added those to the Wiki's abbreviations page. It's German, but it might at least give you something to feed to the search engine of your choice.

Fun fact: As a native German speaker new to the field of telegraphy, it took me days to figure out "LT" (Lokaltaste or local button).

Best regards


Björn

Well, just noticed: tape punch would be "Streifenlocher" -- Lochstreifen means "punched tape".

Which one is meant by LS, maybe "Lochstanzer"? (literally hole puncher)

Ah, then perhaps Lochstreifen Sender makes more sense?
