Chinese (traditional) ..... 油槽或儲油槽刻劃有標記,藉著燃油量下降的幅度指示時間,通常是帶有玻璃儲油槽的白鑞卡爾登燈,或是小型的玻璃煤油燈,有刻著小時單位的圓筒狀油槽。 |
Dutch ..... Lampen met houders of reservoirs met merktekens erop om het verloop van tijd weer te geven naar aanleiding van het dalen van het brandstofniveau. Het zijn meestal tinnen Cardanlampen met een glazen reservoir of kleine, glazen petroleumlampen met cilindervormige houders waarop de uren staan aangegeven. |
German ..... Lampe, deren Brennstoffbehälter mit einer Skala markiert ist, die durch den fallenden Ölpegel den Zeitablauf anzeigt; in der Regel entweder eine verzinnte Kardanlampe mit einem Glastank oder eine kleine Petroleumlampe aus Glas mit zylindrischem Tank, auf dem die Stunden markiert sind. |
