Thank you for all the suggestions. The client did revert and confirms that it is indeed a bushing.

Is this something to do with the "scissor lift" that allows the vehicle to load the catering equipment into the plane?

I understood pantograph to be the system that powers electric trains/trolleybuses, but that doesn't make sense for the context.

Whereas a scissor-lift would make perfect sense (and is shaped like the other sort of pantograph that I know of!).

And the technical info in the link mentions a "boisseau" as a type of valve used in the hydraulic system of a similar lifting device

(Once again, a colleague helped me out with this so I can't take credit if it is right!)

Buisson?

Pritha Bhatnagar (asker) Dec 14, 2020:

@Suzie, hoping the client can shed some light on the matter.
@Rachel, thanks for pointing that out.

Subject needs changing to spare parts rather than organisation names.

A bit of a shot in the dark, but could it be a (bad) typo for "boisseau", which I think could translate as "bush" or "coupling"?

This page mentions "boisseaux à ressorts" on a diagram of a pantograph
