[DML] Otterstat

[Samuel <samuel_yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I want to know, why is the fan temperature switch always refered to as 
an otterstat? In the manuals, it is called a thermostat switch (section 
1-3-1 of the parts manual). A search of google for otterstat -dmcnews 
-delorean -dmcforum results in a handful of listings and it is all used 
as people's last name in german text. Otterstat in german has no meaning 
according to http://diction.travlang.com/GermanEnglish. Can anyone tell 
me where otterstat started and why everyone keeps using it although it 
very much appears to be the improper name?
