Hi,
Have always been interested in catapults on carriers, but have never been able to find any good drawings or diagrams showing how the hold-back mechanisms work. I remember in the "old days" that they used breakable/frangible bars, but I doubt that these are used anymore. Are they ? Anyone know of any links or pix/diagrams showing details of how they are constructed, and used, these days ? Looked pretty exhaustively, but cannot come with any. Am a retired mechanical engr., and have always been interested in this component. Thanks, Bob |
