I also found this in the description of a web site (haven't had time to check the lengthy document to see how it's actually used):

Most shipyards and ship repair facilities already have the vast majority of the ... Freshwater and Saltwater Wash-down of Ship • Graving Dock, On-Block Area, Building Ways ...

I don't normally nish cap departments or working titles, but this is one of "those" depos that I'm forced to nish cap this stuff, so I'm thinking On-Block Area.  I hate it when transcripts get this nitpicky.

Thanks for your help, LeAnne.  Much appreciated.

I think it's on block.  I found this online:  "Block assembly in shipbuilding is mainly concerned with cutting and welding operations to construct a block. A block is composed of several steel plates and sections with various sizes and shapes."

on block?  en bloc?  something else?

Witness works as a shipbuilder.  There's an area of the ship called "on block."  He spelled it o-n b-l-o-c-k, but he also spelled Pena P-n-a and simvastatin s-i-m-i-b-a-t-i-n, so I'm not going to rely on his spelling capabilities.

Has anyone heard this term before and know what the correct spelling is?

I think it's emulsionizing wax.

I usually find most things from Google.  Sometimes, you have to try 2 or 3 different spellings.

I found it by going to google and putting in your phonetic spelling, then it came up with about four or five words asking if that's what I was lookiing for.

With Search Master it took less than a minute to find it.  With * as a wild card, all I had to do was type in d*z*l*n into the medical drugs category.  Adozelesin was at the top of the list.  BTW, it's not capitalized.  From there do a Google search to find out  information about the drug. 

Comment by LeAnne Law on March 26, 2012 at 9:48

I searched through SearchMaster and found adozelesin.  Have not clue what it is, but it fits the phonetics. 

Comment by Rosalie DeLeonardis on March 26, 2012 at 9:46

Christina, I found Adozelesin, which is an anti-tumor drug, also used for other things too, and also Adapalene, which is used for Acne or keratosis pilaris, which is lesions on the skin. 

Comment by Keith Rowan II on March 24, 2012 at 9:03

That's how I'd spell it, Janiece.  Tell youse and yuns guys to speak right next time.
