not for points - an attempted explanation
The problem is that "Backen" can mean a lot of things!
a) Backen can be the plural of Backe, i.e. wedge grip, wege, jaw, die, bit, check, flange, joint, endpiece, according to my technical dictionary
b) In the same technical dictionary, "backen" as a verb is translated as to bake, to cake, to bind, to cement, to roast, to burn (coke)
Therefore any attempt at a translation given our current knowledge can't be anything but guesswork.

Sorry, this is a scanned file and I am a slow type. Moreover, I am a little concerned with client's confidentiality. Thanks Brigitte!
