I've seen both spellings recommended in print, but winding wire onto a mandrill will be far more entertaining. Ah, when popularity displaces correctness! But, I can see the confusion when you place a mandrel into a drill to wind the coil. Or should it be a persondrel? Is PC still in vogue? Owen PS: my (rather old) Concise Oxford Dictionary thinks a mandrill is a "Large fierce West African baboon", fierce I guess when bound with wire. It hasn't caught up with the alternative use for mandrel, well not by 1979. |
