In an anchorage where there is little or no current or tidal stream, and in reasonably calm weather, a ship may be pointed to lie at an angle with the line of her cable by putting a spring on her cable. First heave in a shackle or so of cable. Now lead a hawser [...] out through the aftermost quarter fairlead, then for’ard and outboard of all, and shackle it with a joggle shackle to the cable outboard of the hawsepipe, thereby forming a spring. Then belay the hawser and veer the cable, and the ship's head should pay off away from the side on which the spring is rove until pointing in the required direction. Alternatively the hawser may be brought to an after capstan and hove in as the cable is veered. 2, record 1, English, - after%20capstan

Positioned on the deck, the mooring capstan typically features a vertically mounted drum or winch-like mechanism. Its primary function is to provide mechanical power for the winding and unwinding of mooring lines, aiding in the secure anchoring of the vessel to docks, piers, or other structures. The controlled rotation of the capstan drum allows for precise adjustments to the tension of mooring lines, contributing to the proper alignment and positioning of the ship during berthing. 1, record 3, English, - mooring%20capstan

The model represents the steel-plate type wagon turntable, 15ft.(4, 6m.) diameter. These were found in goods yards and industrial sites where space restrictions were such that conventional pointwork could not be accommodated. Their lightweight construction meant that locomotives were prohibited from traversing them. Consequently, they were often used in locations where shunting was performed by tractors, horses or where capstan haulage of wagons was employed. The table was turned by one of two methods : a bar inserted into a socket provided a means whereby the turntable could be rotated manually, or a powered capstan was employed to turn the wagon by means of a rope attached to one of a series of bollards around the rim of the turntable plate. 2, record 16, English, - wagon%20turntable

While the term "flutter" is normally limited to designating higher rates of speed variation, it is often generalized to include both wow and (high speed) flutter, as in TRAUD, 1969, p. 656. In addition, "speed variations" or "flutter" (in the generalized sense) could be used to refer to "drift", which is "a random rate close to zero hertz" (cf. GRAEL, 1977, p. 284). 5, record 20, English, - speed%20variations
