Snubber

I flew an Apache helicopter through France to their helicopter school, in Dax.
The biggest lesson I had to learn was that the French are never wrong, possibly mistaken, but never wrong. Once I learned that we got along great.

Please keep in mind that I am a French Canadian not a Citizen of France.
We french Canadians are very different from english Canadians and also very different from France Citizens. We basically are a melting pot of French english Italian latin culture.
Just come visit Montreal you'll understand. Don't bother with Toronto...zzzzz

And yes some French are very hard headed.

And I just can't not do the joke, but was Trump Schooled in France?? Cause He seams to think he is always right.

A mechanical engineer would probably insist that an anchor snubber has a ONE function: to smooth out the harmful spikes in tension. Everything else is a side benefit, which we sailors also appreciate!
On the many ships I sailed on we used a needle valve on the high pressure gauges to dampen the pulsations. They were called snubbers.

Exactly. Dampers. Snubbers are all over your boat. Every inverter (DC to AC power) has snubbers to limit the voltage spikes. There are rubber snubbers on my autopilot linear actuator to limit the shock if if crashes into the end-stop.
