French term

tambour de queue

French to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
Under a contract for the supply of 'convoyeurs à bande' for a new line of the Paris underground, the supplier is to provide various spare parts for the conveyors. I'm afraid that I have no context for this term, as it is simply included in a list of spare parts. I will be posting several other terms in relation to the other spare parts needed if you're at all able to help with those too. Thanks very much in advance!

The pulleys can be classified into two types: driving pulleys and return pulleys. The belt is driven by friction which is produced by pulley’s surface and belt’s surface because of the function of driving pulley, and the movement direction of the belt is changed at the same time.

5.2 Return Pulley
A return pulley has three categories: 1800. The return pulley’s diameter is related to driving pulley’s diameter and the wrap angle that the belt has on the return pulley.

Thanks Kim. Though a drum pulley is a particular sort of pulley, I don't think we need belt and braces here, as it's clear from the context that the drum is a pulley.
