without having read the whole thread about this topic,
I will try to give a translation (or at least a guess
for an explanation) of the term "Treibteller".
I think, it might be a plate made of sheet metal.
The final shape of the material is formed by hammering
the metal which stretches out a bit and finally forms
a hollow shape. The process of hammering is called
'treiben' in German. So the awful habit of Germans
to form ultra-long words by concatenation yields the
term in question 'Treib-Teller'.
My dictionary suggest 'to hollow' as a translation of
'treiben', which makes sense, but I am not sure, if
this term is correct. So something like
'hollowed plate' might be the translation.
Greetings
Harald
