Can anyone give me the reason a 'frog' is called a frog?
Thanks in advance,
TWS
I always thought it was just because of the general wedge-like shape
and it's resemblance to a frog sitting. In fact the term "frog" is not
too uncommon to describe similarly shaped parts in various tools and
machinery besides planes.
I must say, though, that when I read the subject line of your post,
the first thing I thought was that this was an OT post with a joke
about a frog on an airplane.
