And the other imponderable is: should Slingram be capitalized as I have always done? If it is just a Swedish translation of "loop frame", does it really need to be capitalized?
Obviiously we all have too much time on our hands during the COVID-19 shutdown.

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 Separated loop induction ground something machine? 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
