Pöördlaud

Pöördlaud is an Estonian term that translates to "turntable" or "rotating platform." It commonly refers to a device used to rotate an object or a person. In a domestic setting, pöördlaud can describe a lazy Susan, a rotating tray used for serving food or organizing items on a table. These are often found in kitchens or dining areas and facilitate easy access to condiments, spices, or dishes.

Beyond household use, pöördlaud has applications in various industries. In manufacturing, it can be a component of assembly lines, allowing workers to rotate parts for easier manipulation during production. In the entertainment industry, it might refer to a rotating stage used in theaters or concerts to change scenery or present performers. Additionally, the term can be used in automotive contexts, such as a turntable for vehicle maintenance or repair, enabling mechanics to position a car at different angles. The fundamental principle of a pöördlaud remains consistent: to provide controlled rotation for practical purposes.
