David you are right that it is the turret support. Now that it is almost finished It is very strong and rigid. I have cleaned and ground both parts and fitted the ball bearings and put the top on. It turns just so so easy. That means that I got it aligned properly. I guess the hold down brackets form the sideway forces plus the turret basket with ammo and two men on it would all add to the support. As far as the next models that had a bigger gun they must have done something to allow for recoil. The bearing support I made was a critical part as it would never have cut without it. All in all I am really happy how it has turned out.
Bob, my wife qualified a long time ago as a workshop assistant or was that me to her

Hi Tim, me too
 I have now completed the second ball race and it certainly never took as long as the first. That's another job out of the way that was a concern.

Now I know it looks like the first one but I can assure you it's a different one. While I was at it last week I splurged out and got myself a new lathe with a digital readout
and a taper attachment which will be really handy for doing tapered barrels like the 37mm and it has a big swing as well. That part will be handy when I do the Capola on the Vickers.

Gap
Looks like you can remove a piece of the bed in order to increase the swing ?

fascinating
Been following with great interest and amazed at the work you have done and can do.
I guess the turret fabrication will be a walk in the park after all that work so far. LOL George.
