Tamiya Mk.5 Chieftain

I'm wondering if the trunnion is mounted to the turret sides using steel dowels that terminate shy of flush with the outside and are then welded outside and in .
It would be much stronger in transferring forces to the turret .

Or , yeah , beer . ;)
 
That's the boyo. I it was the original filling point for Tennant Long Life Lager in bulk. It's use was discontinued as the 'Bag Charge' containers offered much more effectiveness for storing it in individual tinnies, with the bonus of keeping them cooler as the insulation was great.

In short , It's the axle that the gun pivots on for elevation adjustment .
It can describe both the axle and the socket with the bearing assemblies that accept the axle ends .
