Bourth (X) Aug 13, 2010:
Is this being said of a machine or of a part being made with a machine? IOW, is the descente that of the machine or the name of a part (e.g. descente des eaux pluviales)?

vertical travel / displacement

Unless the 'descente' is some actual physical component of this machine (and what machine is it BTW?), then I think they are simply talking about the direction it moves in.

Thanks, Kevin! I visualize it as being like some kind of a vertical press, with a welded seam that runs round the item being 'pressed'; but of course, we need more context...
