Oscillating Turrets - How They Work - Tank Historia
An oscillating turret is a turret that uses two separate parts to achieve rotation and elevation. Conventional turrets are a single rotating unit that contains the main gun and crew. In this arrangement, the gun is moved left and right by rotating the entire turret and moving up and down by pivoting the gun up or down inside the turret. Oscillating turrets separate the turret into two – with one piece controlling elevation and the other controlling rotation.
