Lamellenkamm

German: Lamellenkamm

Today I have learned a new thing: that you can straighten the fins on a condenser unit, using a condenser fin comb, or "Lamellenkamm". And it's nice to find a mysterious-looking fanlike thing in a product list in Germany, then find a reassuringly English-speaking guy showing me how to use one.

The word Lamellen is actually one of those that's tricky to translate, as "lamellae" is always waiting there to clobber any more sensible alternative that might occur to you.

Now pardon me while I go buy a condenser fin comb, because I have some condenser fins that could use one, actually.
