A test support including an undercarriage and an opening formed therein which is dimensioned for a turret or the like comprises a combat space container interchangeably accommodated in said opening. The combat space container comprises a cage which is detachably joined to said undercarriage, and a roof which is detachably joined to the cage. The cage carries largely invariant components and/or equipment, while the roof carries components and/or equipment which is to be varied more frequently.

Test support

An arrangement for measuring the distance between the axles or wheels of a vehicle. A roadway with at least one sensing sill. A sensing section along the roadway with one end a maximum length from the sill corresponding to the smallest spacing between axles to be measured and another end a minimum length from the sill corresponding to the largest spacing between axles to be measured. A first wheel on a first axle of the vehicle being located at the sensing sill and a second wheel on a second axle on the vehicle being located on the sensing section when measuring the distance between the two axles by using the distance measured between the second wheel and the sensing sill.

Method of measuring the distance between the axles or wheels of a

A device for positioning and position stabilizing an inert mass supported for sluing on a base, comprising two driven portions (11,15) adapted to be driven by a motor (1) by way of controllable friction clutches (9,13) is furnished with a single rotor (5) driven by the motor (1) and cooperating with the two friction clutches to transmit a coupling torque in the same sense of rotation. Each driven portion (11,15) acts through separate power transmissions each (16-18,20-23) on the mass, one of the power transmissions effecting a reversal of the direction of rotation.

Device for positioning and position stabilizing

System for positioning and maintaining position stabilization of a mass such as a barrelled gun supported on a base such as a tracked vehicle. The system employs oppositely rotating disks with fluid actuated clutches for moving the gun barrel mass in a single degree of freedom as determined by a deviation from a predetermined setting.

Device for the positioning and position stabilization of an inert mass,

A running pad for an endless track is disclosed, including resilient retaining projections which extend away from opposite sides of the running pad and are adapted to enter into locking engagement, at their free ends, in recesses formed in the respective chain links. The retaining projections are formed by the ends of a unitary resilient plate that extends through said running pad and is designed to yield elastically in a direction toward and away from the recesses of the chain link in order to allow simple and quick assembly of the running pad at the chain link in a direction vertical to the tread surface without the need of disassembly of the chain link.

Running pad for an endless track

This invention relates to an endless track having chain links which are connected by connectors as well as rod members extending through the connectors. A connection between the connectors and rods is provided by clamping contact surfaces on the rods and connectors in abutment with other, at least one of said contact surfaces comprising at least one depression arranged around the circumferential area of the bolt or connector contact surface, whereby a friction lock preventing the bolts from moving axially and/or rotating with respect to the connectors is achieved.

Rod connector for an endless track

The invention relates to an apparatus and method for optical tracking and aiming from a movable system, such as a vehicle. The apparatus may comprise a viewing device having a sighting mark moveable responsive to the position of an aiming mechanism control. The sighting mark may be superimposed on a field of vision observable in the viewing device, by stroboscopic illumination.
