elevation mechanism

There were changes in the recuperator, cradle and elevation mechanism.

An essential capability for any elevation mechanism is to prevent the weight of the barrel forcing its heavier end downward.

However, some degreasing equipment has a circulation and filtering system or some sort of elevation mechanism.

In late production pieces minor changes in breechblock, cradle and elevation mechanism were introduced.

The differences between the M2, M122 are found in the types of mounting pintles and traverse & elevation mechanisms.

The elevation mechanism is manually operated.

Russian-manufactured pieces differed from the German-manufactured ones in breech type and construction elevation mechanism.

The turret rotation and autocannon elevation mechanisms provide very good speed and guidance accuracy.

The elevation mechanism was slow and unreliable; solid-tired wheels hindered mobility to some extent; there were technological problems in carriage production.

The elevation mechanism was combined with equilibrator in a single device - a construction which resulted in slow elevation.

The carriage consists of recoil and counterrecoil mechanism, elevation mechanism and traversing mechanism.

A final wartime change to the elevation mechanism resulted in the 'QF 40 mm Mark XII'.

The ammunition bearer carries additional ammunition and the tripod with associated traversing and elevation mechanism, if issued, and fetches more ammunition as needed during firing.

A gun from the Egyptian ship "El Amir Faruk", sunk in 1948, missing the elevation mechanism, is displayed at the Clandestine Immigration and Naval Museum, Haifa, Israel.

Alternatively, a thermite grenade discharged inside the barrel of the gun will foul the barrel, making the weapon very dangerous to fire; thermite can also be used to weld the traversing and elevation mechanism of the weapon, making it impossible to aim properly.
