More context would help Explanation: 1) to traverse a gun = pointer une pièce (en azimut) 2) Traversing gun = pièce qui bat un certain secteur (délimité par l'angle de pointage extrême gauche-droite) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 47 mins (2006-11-27 19:24:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- C'est manifestement la deuxième solution! "La tour vit sa hauteur diminuée lorsqu'une pièce battant le secteur de (droite à gauche) fut installée" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-11-27 20:30:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ou: "Une pièce avec un champ de tir transversal fut mise en batterie" |
