Sabot (firearms)
A sabot (, ) is a supportive device used in firearm/artillery ammunitions to fit/patch around a projectile, such as a bullet/shotgun slug, slug or a flechette-like projectile (such as a kinetic energy penetrator), and keep it aligned in the center of the barrel (firearms), barrel when fired. It allows a narrower projectile with high sectional density to be fired through a gun barrel, barrel of much larger caliber, bore diameter with maximal acceleration, accelerative transfer of kinetic energy. After leaving the muzzle (firearms), muzzle, the sabot typically separates from the projectile in flight, diverting only a very small portion of the overall kinetic energy. The sabot component in projectile design is the relatively thin, tough and deformable seal known as a driving band or obturation ring needed to trap propellant gases behind a projectile, and also keep the projectile centered in the barrel, when the outer shell of the projectile is only slightly smaller in diameter than t ...

Sabot (shoe)
A sabot (pronounced sa-BO) is a Clog (shoe), clog from France or surrounding countries such as The Netherlands, Belgium or Italy. Sabots are either whole-foot clogs or a heavy leather shoe with a wooden sole. Sabots were considered a work shoe associated with the lower classes in the 16th to 19th centuries. During this period, the years of the Industrial Revolution, the word ''sabotage#ety, sabotage'' gained currency. An alleged etymology describes the actions of disgruntled workers who willfully damaged workplace machinery by throwing their sabots into the works (see: Luddite). In truth, ''sabotage'' is derived from the noise and clumsiness associated with the wooden ''sabot'' shoe. During World War II, 45,000 pairs of sabot were made in Jersey during the occupation of the island from 1940–45.

Naples Sabot
The Naples Sabot is an sailing dinghy. The Naples Sabot was designed by Roy McCullough and R.A. Violette and the first two were built in Violette's garage during WW II, although official designs were not made available until 1946. The Naples Sabot is based on the Balboa Dinghy and on Charles MacGregor's Sabot as published in Rudder magazine, April 1939. It takes its name from Naples in Long Beach, California, where it was developed. Design The Naples Sabot differs from the MacGregor in its use of a leeboard instead of a daggerboard or centerboard. The leeboard gives the boat additional versatility, making it easy to use as a rowboat and thus permitting it to be used as a tender or for fishing. Along with the leeboard the boat gained a small fixed keel, which assists when rowing or towing the dinghy. Traditionally the hull of the Naples Sabot was built from plywood Plywood is a material manufactured from thin layers or "plies" of wood veneer that are glued together wit ...

The basic Sabot design has been widely adapted and other derivations include the leeboard-equipped Naples Sabot, as well as the daggerboard-equipped El Toro, Wind'ard Sabot and the Australian Holdfast Trainer. Production The boat was originally intended for home construction from wood, by amateur builders. The design was later mass-produced by W. D. Schock Corp and Catalina Yachts in the United States, but it is now out of production. Design The US Sabot is a recreational sailing dinghy. The early versions were built from plywood, while later production boats were made with hand-laid fiberglass hulls over cores, providing positive flotation. The boat has a cat rig, a squared pram stem, a nearly-plumb transom, a transom-hung ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sabot (newspaper)
''Sabot'' was a brief-lived underground newspaper published in Seattle, Washington by the Seattle Liberation Front from September 11, 1970 to January 13, 1971. Sixteen weekly issues were published in all. The paper was started as a replacement for the Seattle ''Helix'' which had published its last issue in June 1970. As with its predecessor, ''Sabot'' was from the beginning torn by political dissension within the radical political collective, centering on an internal struggle with feminists over issues of male chauvinism and editorial control and direction. After a few months the divided staff was no longer able to get an issue out and the newspaper quit publishing. Contributors during its brief run included local underground cartoonist Shary Flenniken''Comix: the Underground Revolution'' by Dez Skinn (Thunders Mouth Press, 2004), p. 160. and radical feminist Susan Stern, who later published a candid and revealing memoir of her experiences, ''With the Weathermen'', prior to her de ...
