An angle bracket or angle brace or angle cleat is an L-shaped fastener used to join two parts generally at a 90-degree angle. It is typically made of metal but it can also be made of wood or plastic. Angle brackets feature holes in them for screws. A typical example use of is a shelf bracket for mounting a shelf on a wall.
In the German equatorial mount, [4] (sometimes called a "GEM" for short) the primary structure is a T-shape, where the lower bar is the right ascension axis (lower diagonal axis in image), and the upper bar is the declination axis (upper diagonal axis in image). The mount was developed by Joseph von Fraunhofer for the Great Dorpat Refractor [5 ...
A polar mount is a movable mount for satellite dishes that allows the dish to be pointed at many geostationary satellites by slewing around one axis. [1] It works by having its slewing axis parallel, or almost parallel, to the Earth's polar axis so that the attached dish can follow, approximately, the geostationary orbit, which lies in the plane of the Earth's equator.
The functions of this design are to change the axis of rotation by 90 degrees (from the propshaft to the half-shafts) and provide a reduction in the gear ratio. The components of the ring-and-pinion differential shown in the schematic diagram on the right are: 1. Output shafts 2. Drive gear 3. Output gears 4. Planetary gears 5. Carrier 6.
Corner bridle joint T-bridle joint. A bridle joint is a woodworking joint, similar to a mortise and tenon, in that a tenon is cut on the end of one member and a mortise is cut into the other to accept it. [1] The distinguishing feature is that the tenon and the mortise are cut to the full width of the tenon member.

Alt-alt mounts, or altitude-altitude mounts, are designs similar to horizontal equatorial yoke mounts or Cardan suspension gimbals. This mount is an alternative to the altazimuth mount that has the advantage of not having a blind spot near the zenith, and for objects near the celestial equator the field rotation is minimized.

Another way isometric projection can be visualized is by considering a view within a cubical room starting in an upper corner and looking towards the opposite, lower corner. The x-axis extends diagonally down and right, the y-axis extends diagonally down and left, and the z-axis is straight up. Depth is also shown by height on the image.
