Thanks James - I looked at the green SEG volume and Slingram gets one
paragraph on p259 while MaxMin gets a page and a half. Readers are
referred to Sveriges Geologiska for more info.
The single word for something complex problem came up for me once before
when I was interpreting some field notes written in French by an Arab
gravity crew in Tunisia. My French wasn't up to the job so I threw it to
Babel fish which at the time was better than Google translate and it
told me that they had been delayed in a paddock for herring barrel time
talking to a farmer. There was a typo in one of their words with one of
the hats missing off a letter but it started me down a path of asking
why would you have a word for herring barrel? Turns out they used to be
pretty important and a source of much international argument.
Cheers
Kim

In Swedish? Regardless, it’s very obscure to have a word for “Loop
frame”. I wonder what other contexts it’s used in?

Google Translate says it means loop frame.

Hi Kim –
I was told (or read somewhere) that it was from the Swedish and meant
something like “Loop-frame”. I don’t have my textbooks in my home
office, but I am pretty sure there is a bit of the history in the
article by Frischknecht et al on small-loop EM in the SEG EM methods
volumes edited by Nabighian (Vol 2 – Applications, Part A?)
Cheers,
James

I was looking for a diversion when writing a report today and started
wondering where the word Slingram comes from. I'd always assumed it
was Finnish or at least Scandinavian and made perfect sense if you
spoke the language but it might also be someone's name. At a stretch
it might be *S*eparated *l*oop *in*duction *g*round something
*m*achine? Sherrif says it's Swedish for Horizontal Loop method,
supporting my original thought although presumably that still involves
an acronym as I'd be surprised if any language had a single word
saying Horizontal Loop EM method - scary if they do! Anyone know?
Cheers
Kim
