A few years ago, I stumbled across a technical term in old patent filings that I'm pretty sure has been replaced by now: https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/62/28/01/cdb0d1c...


The mechanism in a steam-driven sawmill that holds the log in place and is adjusted when the angle or thickness of the cut needs to be changed.

Im not sure that one is unrelated to the offensive term.
