Proposed translations
quatre pièces latérales
There are possible variants for both 'piece' and 'side', depending on exact context, form, and function.
Discussion
No, I don't think it means what you suggest — that would imply 'four-sided pieces' (although in fact, we probably wouldn't sue' face' for side anyway in that case).
I supect this simply means they are side pieces, and there happen to be 4 of them
The text is a PDF written so small that I made a mistake.
Thank you!
How will you translate four side pieces (Pièces à quatre faces?)
Irène
I'd say it has to be an error for 'four side pieces'
