<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 2400206, member: 29751&quot;]Yes, ESSAI can and does correspond to multiple definitions of what people call things in the USA parlance.&nbsp; The TPGs tend to grade modern essais with either &quot;proof&quot; or &quot;specimen&quot; grade designations, but many of the old French essais (viz. Mazard) would more fit the definition of patterns by US terms.&nbsp; Thus my comment that the reply of physicsfan was making too many generalizations -- and the USA equivalent of the use of the term essai depends on the country, year, and other things. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
