A turntable that is rotated to move a feed and/or front end receiver package to the focus of an antenna, or to move a (usually tertiary) mirror into the optical path of an antenna
There is always a controversy about whether a particular rotating gun emplacement should be called a "Turret" or a "Mount " In the USN, the difference between a turret and a mount is that a "Turret" is built into the ship, has a stalk that extends well below the weather deck and includes a barbette while a "Mount" is not part of the ship's structure and does not include a barbette As a general rule, 5 inch (12 7 cm) and smaller guns are in "Mounts" while 6 inch (15 2 cm) and larger guns are in "Turrets " Other navies had similar distinctions
{i} small tower often on a larger structure (castle, building, etc.); rotating mount of a gun or cannon (on tanks, warships, etc.); pivoted mechanism for holding and using different lathe tools; tower used in breaching or scaling a wall
