@ Tony • Bring forward with the centre, using knob M1 until the radius of the optical fibre is positioned exactly between the cage and the outer ring of the bearing or on the sticker ( “blind” bearings ).
Tony M Feb 14, 2020:
@ Asker: Context? OK, then — so what does it go on to say about it under the header? We don't need other occurrences of the same term, but simply what is said about it where it does occur.
Mary Carroll Richer LaFlèche (asker) Feb 14, 2020:
Context This is an instruction booklet for a demagnetiser, it only comes up once so unfortunately not much to say.."C" SHAPED OPTICAL FIBRE AJUSTMENT is a header
Tony M Feb 13, 2020:
@ Asker: Context? I think we won't be able to help unless we know more about where / how / what this items is used for.
It seems to me unlikely to be a C-shaped cross section — by their natural fibres tend to be round, unless of course this is a 'cable' made up of several fibres arranged in a C-shape...
But my gut feeling is that it will probably be a short length of fibre, bent round into a C-shape — remember, with optical finres, minimum bend radius and flexing strain are key issues; so this may be in come way explaining how these problems are addressed using some sort of loop of fibre...

L'ajustement ici doit faire référence à la recherche du rayon de courbure minimal qui permet une transmission sans perte dans le "coude orthogonal" (pour citer la première référence http://web.cortial.net/bibliohtml/fbopcd.html, site de Yves Cortial, professeur de physique au lycée Clémenceau de Nantes)
Peer comment(s):
neutral Tony M : The idea of a deliberately manufactured shaped F/O cable is an interesting one; but I can't help thinking 'coudé' would describe e.g. an L-shaped one; but the idea of a specially-made C-shape seems more plausible to me

I just translated literally, not sure about this one, no hits indeed...

Is this current? There are no hits on Google
