peer agreement (net): +4non-driven ('free') Explanation: In this case, 'idler' means the end of the shade roller (or the side of the shade) opposite the end that is driven by the motor (directly or indirectly). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 12 mins (2005-02-08 09:38:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Elena: an idler (as an object) is a pulley or some sort of rotating device that is not driven, and \'idler\' as an adjective refers to the object or some part of it -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 14 mins (2005-02-08 09:39:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A bit of clarification: \'that does not transmit power\' is better than \'that is not driven\'. |
