Has anybody idea of mechanics? I must translate into Spanish the word "jack" in this definition: ->any of various usually mechanical devices: as... a) a device for turning a spit b) a usually portable mechanism or device for exerting pressure or lifting a heavy body a short distance I know that B is translated as "gato" in Spanish, but I have no idea about A. I think it's a technical name. I added a picture in order you to make an idea, but I'm not sure if it's exactly that. I've been looking in every dictionary and webs and I found nothing at all. Please help me, thanks.
