Water of Allen-Bradley??? (eau = water as in D'Eau Claire being
'from clear
water').
Now, Odeur d'Allen-Bradley (odor of Allen Bradley) makes sense or
better
yet, "Odeur ou un Allen chaud" which my rusty French says is the
smell of a
hot Allen-Bradley <G>.
Ron AC7AC (from clear water)
Perhaps "odeur d'une resistance Allen-Bradley chaude".
C'est vrai, but "eau" is often used to describe fragrances, as well,
as in Eau de Cologne (i.e., water of Cologne or as those actually in
Cologne would say, Kölnwasser). Certainly it was "fractured French"
at best._______________________________________________
