I have a Dresser Rand thesaurus. Over 100 pages.

Dresser got so carried away with TLA's (three letter acronyms) they needed to print and distribute a book to their employees and customers just so they could decipher the gibberish.
And it's not just acronyms, they created their own vocabulary.

Everyone else calls it a rod journal, DR calls it a crank pin.
A con rod bearing?
Crank pin box bearing.

How companies like that can get so big is beyond me.
