Danish term or phrase: satinermaskiner
A word that is perplexing. The text is talking about a photographing studio from 1916. It is talking about a work shop, with ventilators, presses and sinks. What on earth is a satinermaskin?
I know what it does though, to an extent. According to Gyldendals Røde Fremmed Ordbog, "Sati'nere, give en glat, blank overflade, glitte." What is the english word for a machine that would have been used around 1916 to give a picture a glossy finish?
