Glossary entry

Russian term or phrase:

Russian term

подкрылок корпуса

Russian to English Tech/Engineering Military / Defense T-34 tank
Multitran glosses this as "pannier" for a tank. A "pannier" is some kind of container attached to a vehicle or part of a skirt looped up around the hips (historical meaning). But that doesn't apply in this case. Here's some context:

Борты корпуса (рис. 19) состоят из нижних вертикальных листов 24 и верхних наклонных листов 22, называемых подкрылками. Верхние и нижние бортовые листы соединены между собой горизонтальным листом 23, называемым днищем подкрылка.

Fig. 19 is here: http://pro-tank.ru/images/stories/tank-t-34-85/tank-t-34-85_...

"Hull skirt" doesn't work, because that's additional protection added to a tank. This is an integral part of the hull.

I'd be grateful for any advice.

Hull overhang Thanks, Karl, for posting a discussion on this question. It reminded me that I needed to provide an update. The term kept coming up, both in this book and in a later one, prompting me to get creative and do more research. I finally happened on the term "hull overhang." I now believe that is the proper translation for "подкрылок корпуса." In many tanks, the hull actually extends over the track in a boxlike structure that can be used for storage. In the King Tiger, for example they actually stored ammunition in it.

Suggestion maybe they just mean "side armor"
James McVay (asker) Jul 3, 2015:
A closer look at the figure I just took a closer look at fig. 19 (I found that I still have the enlarged image open in a different browser). Here's what call-out 22 says: "22 - верхний наклонный бортовой лист (подкрылок)." And the arrow from the 22 in the image points just to the upper plate. So it's just the sloped upper side plate that's called the "подкрылок" -- not both the upper and lower side plates.
Rachel Douglas Jul 3, 2015:
Hull Yes, thank you. Unfortunately, if you search for images of "side plates of the hull," it's all ships.
James McVay (asker) Jul 3, 2015:
Maybe... "Side plates" is a possibility. I'll have to use it if nothing more specific is offfered.

By the way, a tank's "корпус" is a "hull," not a "housing."
Rachel Douglas Jul 3, 2015:
side plates? How about "side plates of the housing"?

Here are a bunch of images for ["side plates" tank]. Though if I could see your diagram, I'd have a better idea of they are relevant.

Photo Yes, I did have trouble opening the photo. I just thought that the photo of a U.S. tank, in my second link, might indicate that "fender" with regard to tanks does mean something more than what we imagine a car fender to be, because they talk about guns being installed on the "fender", and then you can see those guns stuck onto that entire horizontal side plate along the side. But, I'm definitely in the realm of wild guessing here.
James McVay (asker) Jul 3, 2015:
Rachel, No, I don't think "fender" will work either. If the image opens for you, you will see that "подкрылок" refers to the upper and lower plates on the side of the tank joined together by a horizontal plate.

Funny, the figure opened larger for me when I posted the two links. Now, all I get is a very small logo for Pro-Tank.ru.

liner of the body

It looks to me this might be just a liner - same term is used for automobiles
Example sentence:

...a laterally -curved metallic sheet or liner substantially continuous with and supporting said car-body...

Note from asker:
I don't think so. A "liner" is something used to "line" or back something. A "hull liner" would be applied to the hull, probably on the inside. This term refers to armor plates that are part of the hull itself.
