The \"technisch\" is implicit in \"plant and equipment\".

Explanation:
Uncle Ernst says a "Hüttenwerk" is a steelworks, and who am I to argue? Why don't you like equipment, then? It's perfectly valid... There are 875 sites google would be pleased to offer you for "rolling mill equipment".

BTW, where did the \"slag cement\" come from? That is \"Hüttenzement\"
