Confirmation The client has sent me a photo showing the pendant - it is indeed as John states, and therefore "pendant" in English too.
claude-andrew (asker) Nov 6, 2018:
@Phil Done so - no joy
philgoddard Nov 6, 2018:
It still might be an idea to Google the reference number.
claude-andrew (asker) Nov 6, 2018:
x yyy zzz is simply the reference number for the pendant in question - I made it anonymous for confidentiality reasons.
chris collister Nov 6, 2018:
Sounds as if it could be a pendant (ie hanging) drill/grinder/riveter/what-have-you... Context lacking somewhat....

What is x yyy zzz?

pendant

It's the same word in English and French. There are many references online, the following are just a few examples. A CNC machine has a console, and the pendant is used by the operator to make fine adjustments, since he can examine the workpiece closely while holding the pendant, which is on a long cable or connected wirelessly.

Search the following pages for the word "pendant" as it is buried in the text.

remote hand held controller

Not certain about watchmaking, but in general these large machines have a remote control, plugged into main box that is used to set the "grinding/drilling" axes.
