interlock有各方协作的意思

看到一封信写:

This is a feed-back from our previous interlock with COMPANY A, pls help schedule a meeting after spring festival.

这linterlock什么意思根据上下文能猜出来。但从没见过这个用法。于是查了一下。

当名词

Noun

  • S: (n) interlock, ignition interlock (a device that prevents an automotive engine from starting) "car theives know how to bypass the ignition interlock"
  • S: (n) mesh, meshing, interlock, interlocking (the act of interlocking or meshing) "an interlocking of arms by the police held the crowd in check"

那肯定取名词第2个解释啦。那怎么翻译好呢?感觉怎么都不合适啊?用这个词就不合适。
