translation for Schubwelle

[preS]

I need some translation help.

If a car came w/ a Schubwelle what could that have been? Is it possibly an emergency rope?

Regards

no, it´s a rotational wave... whatever that might be...

You must do better than this.

The Schubwelle was a factory option on a true rally car (1967).

all I can say that it has to be a part inside the engine.

I don't think this one of those words with a literal translation.

Ze German is correct in the literal meaning of the words.

"Schub" also is part of the word for drawer ( like in to hold something).

"Welle" literally means waves but also means corrugated or billowed like a soft pocket.

I believe this means a folding storage compartment of some sort, I suspect a door map pocket or storage bin behind the front seats.

Maybe someone else can chime in who is more familiar with automotive terms in German.

They had an option for a rallye storage bin which went across the rear seat panel. It was divided into 3 sections and hung upright in the rear.

I have also seen a photo posted that showed a map pocket for the navigator
located on the right door panel.

I recall it having a latchable cover like a Pendaflex folder, perhaps that is what it refers too?

I think both Turboman and Johns4949 are looking in the right direction.

I would translate welle as cable, since a tachowelle is a speedo cable. Combine this with Schub being drawer and you have indeed a storage device.

Does any one know the VIN of the green 911 at Bruce Canepa that has such a storage device?

Is this not a serated type lock washer? It's been thirty plus years since the German class. I will ask the instructor at dinner this evening.

Another literal translation for the word could be: pushrod

Among the various meanings of the word SCHUB: push, if used as a verb
WELLE is used to describe a rotating shaft, as in kurbelwelle (crankshaft) or nockenwelle (camshaft).

I don't believe the term could be logically stretched to refer to the rally storage bin mentioned above (see photo below of the device in question, from the silver /green car at Canepa Design)
