Hmmm, I was joking.

Somtimes I use google translator, and if the answer was valet, or valet tray. I don't know what it means.
For valet it says "ayuda de cámara" ayuda = help, de = of, cámara = camera/chamber... so it's a "camera's help" or "chamber's help"?
Or for valet tray... "valet bandeja" and bandeja means tray/plate.
There are words that I don't understand and the translator does not translate well.

Alright...well I feel like a jerk. Sorry - I know you're in Argentina, but your posts are written well enough it seems like you're quite fluent in English. I stand corrected. Now that's two notches I'm going to have to take out of my belt.

JacksonStone, that's ok. No need to apologize.
You didn't know that my enligsh sucks :lol: and I use google translator.
But I learned a lot in this forum, and I don't use it that much than when I began posting here.

OK, if that's a valet tray (and a very nice one at that), what are the buttons for? Just wondering... :huh

And, if I may, 46crew, do turn your wings pin the other way round, it will perfectly match the wings of your CA. Just a thought. :wink:

As someone mentioned earlier, I guess the snaps are there so when you un-snap them, the valet lays flat for easy storage when travelling. :)

I never said it was not nice, to the contrary. I just wondered what those buttons were for.

If it is supposed to be a tray, it doesn't look foldable.

I think the speculation is that the sides can unsnap lay flat for easier travel, not so much that it was foldable. However, I still maintain the design is primarily aesthetic.

As for the fraughtness, I was just busting a guy's chops for busting another guy's chops in a different thread. However, a portion of my busting was based on a misundertanding. I think we've buried the hatchet on that one.

I don't know the translation, but a valet tray just a stylish sort of "box" or tray with raised sides for holding the things a gentleman typically keeps on him when he goes out, such as coins, a wallet, a watch, jewelry, etc. It's a fairly useful idea, but a number of household items can provide an adequate substitute. A valet is for someone who wants that function performed with style.

Traduction is translation in French.
