"Every once in a while, the interrupter gear will get a little bit out of alignment."

Early experiments with Interrupter gear machine guns were carried out before the war in several countries.

Doesn't need interrupter gear slowing it up, so you can really blast away.

That could be as important as perfecting the interrupter gear.

"Good to know somebody finally figured out how to build a decent interrupter gear.

He wished Dudley had never told him what happened when an interrupter gear got out of adjustment.

This initiated a concentrated phase of consideration of the interrupter gear concept.

An interrupter gear is a device used on military aircraft and warships in order to allow them to target opponents without damaging themselves.

The other, true interrupter gear stops the firing of the machine gun when some part of the aircraft is in the way.

Pilot manned two 7.7 mm Vickers machine guns fixed in a fuselage, with an interrupter gear.

Armament was a single Vickers machine gun with deflecting plates on the propellers instead of interrupter gear.

Scarff was also involved in the development of the Scarff-Dibovsky interrupter gear.

"The interrupter gear still isn't working right," he said as the crew from the crash truck swarmed over the Hawk, tire extinguishers at the ready.

Anton Fokker invents the interrupter gear.

Legend has it that after examining the plane, German aircraft engineers, led by Fokker, designed the improved interrupter gear system.

Armament: two fixed 7.7 mm Vickers machineguns with interrupter gear, in hull sides.

Its twin machine guns were mounted in the upper fuselage between pilot and engine, firing through the propeller using the standard interrupter gear.

Through it,Jonathan Moss called, "You mean somebody has finally made aworking interrupter gear, sir?"

Neither the Canadians nor the British yet had a working interrupter gear, and nobody in the USA wanted to hand them one on a platter.

Challenger was the involved in numerous patents, including those for a ring mounting and the Vickers-Challenger interrupter gear, both for machine-guns.

Here he developed the Sopwith-Kauper interrupter gear which allowed the firing of a machine-gun through a rotating aircraft propeller.

The concept of interrupter gear in combat aircraft was realised later in World War I by Germany after Anthony Fokker developed the idea.

The observer had a 7.7 mm Vickers K machine gun, the pilot had a fixed 7.92 mm wz.33 machine gun with interrupter gear.

A machine gun fitted with interrupter gear had the trigger normally enabled and the interrupter mechanism would disable the trigger when a propeller blade was in the way.

The final solution was the interrupter gear, more properly known as a gun synchronizer, developed by Fokker and fitted to the Fokker E.I monoplane in 1915.
