#CMT# #/CMT# The system consists of shoes (110) positioned round the outside of the missile (10), each fitted with an integral locking bar (120), and anti-movement locking pin (170) fixed to the silo (20) and applying a pressure selectively against the upper end of the locking bar. The lower surface of the shoe has a spring-loaded position adjusting rod (140) that fits into a cavity (10a) in the missile's outer surface. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Supporting a missile inside a launch silo. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The system takes up clearances between the missile and silo wall, preventing contact during maintenance, transport and operation. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a cross-section of part of the missile, silo and lateral support. 10 : Missile 10a : Missile wall cavity 20 : Silo 110 : Shoe 120 : Locking bar 140 : Position adjusting rod 160 : Spring 170 : Locking pin.
