Clarification about used abbreviations

A

ALPI

Guest
My native language is not English and I sometimes have some problems to
understand answers when using abbreviations.

Let take an example :
"It had an o/c centre led."

What does "o/c" mean ? Out of control ?

Is there anywhere a site with the explaination of such a abbreviation ?
Thanks for your help

Nope. Google can be quite effective tho with the most unusual ones.
