Mountings

As well as providing propulsion, outboards provide steering control, as they are designed to pivot over their mountings and thus control the direction of thrust.

Both Oswald Boelcke and Max Immelmann survived failures which resulted in propellers being shot off and even engines pulled out of their mountings due to the engine becoming unbalanced by the loss of the propeller.

High magnitudes of shocks may tear the crystals off their mountings (especially in the case of large low-frequency crystals suspended on thin wires), or cause cracking of the crystal.

Iron ladders were crumpled up into rings, guns were literally hurled from their mountings.

Mechanical vibration isolation mountings can be used for high-stability crystals.

Steatite mountings are used.

The version worn by the Prussian Gardes du Corps was of tombac (copper and zinc alloy) with silver mountings.

Three of the Gatlings with swivel mountings were used with great success against the Spanish defenders.

To correct for this, the engine mountings were cut back by 185 mm to move the engine toward the cockpit.

Underneath the bodywork, a touring car is often more closely related to its road-going origins, using many original components and mountings, while some top-flight GT cars are purpose-built tube-frame racing chassis underneath a cosmetic body shell.
