@ Sheila I guess we'll have to wait for Gad , he's the one having the whole text ( lucky guy !!!)
Sheila Wilson May 22, 2011:
@silvester55 I understand the 'rim seal fire' of your anwser, but my problem lies with context: there's the lack of context here, but also the fact that this is one of a series of questions and all the others have referred to equipment. So, 'rim seal' yes, definitely. But 'fire'?
silvester55 May 22, 2011:
no typo it is feu de joint
Sheila Wilson May 21, 2011:
Typo suspected As it's about fires, I think the 'feu' slipped in. Try researching 'jeu de joint' - I think that's what you need here.
Gad Kohenov (asker) May 21, 2011:
feu de joint - typo
Gad Kohenov (asker) May 21, 2011:
it goes like this: bac avec toit flottant (feu de joie)
mchd May 21, 2011:
