What do you call this part?

[moribundman]

See the front panel on the cart? Is there a proper name for this part?

 

[Gary Allan]

I don't know if it's proper or not ..but I'd call it a cowl for lack of a better term.

 

[Shannow]

valence ?

 

[moribundman]

Good suggestions, I think. Thanks!

May we inquire what your need is for this qualification in nomenclature? Curious minds want to know

I'm simply trying to expand my vocabulary.

If you were to say "front panel", I can't imagine anyone challenging you.

 

[moribundman]

You are looking at this from the wrong end. Knowing what I know now, I can tell the loser who calls the part "front panel" what it's really called!

However, using the proper term is not equal to being pretentious. When precision meets accuracy it's a thing of beauty.

It's always been the "foot rest" anytime I've been rollin' in a taylor-dunn. you'd see two perfectly polished USAF boots sticking up.

I was actually tempted to call it an instrument carrier. Of course, these vehicles don't come equipped with that many instruments...
