I wonder if someone at Google, overcome by the current wave of “let’s not upset anyone at all”, has edited the translation.
Here is a more reliable source.
Mist | translate German to English - Cambridge Dictionary
The Rolls Royce Silver Sh-it does have a certain ring to it though.

I think I can see the problem we have here.
As the RR Silver Mist was an English name, I tranlsated the English word mist into German. The result was nabel.
However there is also a German word mist, which translates, as you say, into variations of muck.
Confusing. Either way we can see why RR decided on a change.

France, WW1 at a guess?
Apart from being a haulage firm, Ziegler constructs their own trailers as well, this is their latest addition to their fleet, a spine trailer, especially designed to carry agricultural machinery, and has an empty weight shy of 16t… I understand the need to have an empty weight as low as possible, but I do wonder how much “strength” there is left after a couple of years of heavy usage with such ultralight trailers.
What is behind the semi-trailer?
Is that last axle part of it? Or is that a dolly of some sort? Or?
Thought the same-looks like a dolly to make the semi a drawbar-Carryfast will know!
Note the loading skids hanging underneath on chains, Buzzer
nice trailer Patrick

At first I thought it was one of those things the Yanks have to spread the weight, forgotten the name of it at the moment, but then on looking closer I think it is a 5th wheel dolly to pull a 2nd trailer.
I’d say it’s something like a small cannon. Nice picture!
Isn’t it called a booster?
Looks like it’s brand new and ready to take a load, as that looks like the Scheuerle premises.
