OBS

Le «Dictionnaire anglais-français de la prévention des incendies» (PRINC 1982 page 15) donne l'orthographe «Babcook» (qui nous semble fautif) et précise qu'il s'agit d'une marque de commerce; PRINC fait un renvoi à «glass bottle extinguisher / grenade extinctrice» qui n'est pas un synonyme (voir cette fiche).

OBS

Voir la fiche «extincteur type bicarbonate-acide».
