Well, the little we have to go on makes me think of a toggle crusher, a piece of static plant for crushing rock.
Jean Lachaud Mar 17, 2011:
Do you mean "mâchoire" as in some sort of earth-moving piece of machinery?? Or what?
Bourth (X) Mar 16, 2011:
Jaw crusher, maybe? For quarrying, demolition, etc.
