Listen to this:

http://media.scottnet.net/sounds/handeln.wav

This will give you "der Bach", "handeln".
remove "der", replace B by F, and remove the n at the end, and you will get the idea.
Doesn't sound off-color at all. Honi soit qui mal y pense.

OK, I'm not sure if anyone's still interested in the original question, but I had a look at my notes. Pickshaus' book is about 110 pages long and covers a lot on lever locks and quite a bit on pin tumbler and other types of locks. It also covers mechanics and lock functions and a bit on master keyed systems. All up, a a decent book - but you have to know German
