        Subject: 'embrayeur'

I'm having trouble finding a good match for 'embrayeur' in English. The
usual translation is 'clutch' but also 'deictic', 'shifter', 'trigger'.
My context is anthropological, applied to a work of art that is to be 
seen with, not looked at. I'd prefer straightforward English--what 
Ian Hacking called his 'five-cent words'.

Many thanks for any suggestions.

Yours,
WM
