The oscillating turret is a two-piece turret where the bottom half allows a 6400 mils(360 degrees) rotation on a conventional turret ring, but the upper half is mounted on trunnions at either side. The gun is fixed in the upper part of the turret and gun elevation and depression is obtained by tilting the whole of the upper part of the turret. 2, record 1, English, - oscillating%20turret

A round turn and two half hitches is used on many occasions when a line with some load on it is to be secured to a spar of some sort or an eye. Once the full round turn has been taken, the load can be held while the two half hitches are put on for security. It can also be cast off while under tension. Perhaps the most common uses are in securing a dinghy to a mooring ring, or tying fenders to cabintop grabrails. 1, record 2, English, - round%20turn%20and%20two%20half%20hitches
