About Revolving Especie Seza misy tehezana

Especie dia seza misy tehezana mihodina, natao ho an'ny fampiasana anaty trano sy ivelan-trano. Ny seza dia vita amin'ny hazo matanjaka nalaina avy amin'ny trano noravana, izay voahosotra fasika sy varnisy. Ny fototra mihodina dia vita amin'ny vy. Ny toerana ipetrahana dia vita amin'ny polyurethane manana hakitroky antonony ary rakofana lamba an-dranomasina. Ny fototra dia miorina tsy mihetsika kanefa ny toerana ipetrahana kosa dia mihodina. Ny tehezana dia natao miondrika kely mba hanomezana fahatokisana sy fanohanana ho an'ilay olona mipetraka. Azo omena koa fitehirizan-tongotra vita amin'ny lamba misy fenony. Ny endriny dia manaraka ny volumin'ny hazo matanjaka sy ny tsipika miavaka an'ny fanaka Brazilianina tamin'ny taona 1970.
