Report on Flexible Rollers and Flexible Roller Path for Main Battery Turrets

Abstract

Calculations have been made for the design of a gun turret weighing 1,500 tons. Recoil forces were assumed to be equal to 5,000 tens. The training gear was assumed to be capable of absorbing a turret whip shock of 500 tons and of delivering a driving force of 50 tons. As a part of the design it was considered essential that the bearing should be protected from oscillating forces or any sliding motion of the turret when the turret was not in use.
