Answer
Hi Jeff,

I seen your question pending in the AllExperts' "Question Pool" and was tempted to take it.

I could not find any meaning for the word "laup." I have never heard, nor read the word in my mechanical studies.

I suspect the word is a typo that went un-noticed by the publisher's proof-readers. I believe the correction is "up."

Respectfully,
