noun
various appliances; various instruments
A somewhat formal or technical term referring to a collection of different mechanical or electrical devices. Not an everyday word; more likely in written descriptions or inventories.
工場には諸器械が整然と並べられていた。
Various machines were neatly arranged in the factory.
More common word for 'machine'; 器械 often implies a smaller, more precise instrument, and 諸器械 inherits that nuance.
Compound of 諸 (sho, 'various') + 器械 (kikai, 'instrument, appliance'). The reading しょきかい follows standard on'yomi.
