不知道你说的是不是这个词:
conformator 头轮廓测量器
或者是个法语词汇:
conformateur 形状规
不过从下文中,应该可以猜测,它是用来测量形状(比如:人头部形状等)的设备
The couple had been interested in the art of hatmaking for some time, and latched onto a turn-of-the-century hatmaking tool that measures a person’s head for a perfect fit.
"We got a book on hatmaking and got started," said Slaven, as she brought over the device, called a "conformater" from its resting place in their Colorado Mountain Hat Company display window in Fairplay.
