Aufbau des Panzerturmes:
Der fernbediente Turm besteht zunächst aus einem Grundgehäuse aus Panzeraluminium mit Aufnahmen für Panzerstahlanteile sowie für die Verstauung von Baugruppen im Turm wie, z.B. der Waffenanlage mit Zuführung und Magazin, dem Höhenrichtantrieb, dem Periskop, der Waffenoptik und dem Schleifringübertrager. Das Periskop ist im Drehpunkt des Turmes angeordnet und ist wannenfest montiert. Darüber hinaus ist das Grundgehäuse mit folgenden Wartungs- und Bedienöffnungen versehen:
- Klappe, Magazin, für das Aufmunitionieren des Hauptwaffenmagazins,
- Klappe, Waffe, für den Zugang zur höhenrichtbaren Masse (HRM) und
- Klappe, Munitionsführung, für den Zugang zu den Munitionszuführkanälen.
Does anyone know what this is called in BEng.?
Any help especially in the next hour would be appreciated.
Many tanks!

Having discovered the term via the above documents, googling "elevating mass" turn up plenty of official-looking hits for howitzers, field guns, tanks, and other armaments.
e.g.
"Gun Barrel Models for Use in Weapon Control System Investigations (Order a copy of this article)
Purdy, D.J.
Journal of Battlefield Technology (ISSN: 14405113), Volume 9 Number 1 Mar 2006, pp1-8
Paper which puts forward two low order models of the gun barrel / elevating mass of weapon control systems of main battle tanks."

Also, a promising link to "Janes" which I alas failed to open...

Ha! Got the "Janes" link working:
http://www.janes.com/articles/Janes-Armour-and-Artillery/Oto...
"The hull of the M109 has been modified so that it is the equivalent of the BAE Systems, US Combat Systems M109A3 which is compatible with the new elevating mass and the aiming system of the M109G used by the German Army."
"The existing breech and breech ring of the original M109 have been retained.The elevating mass, as modified, is interchangeable with the one on the basic M109; furthermore, the mechanical interface between the elevating mass and saddle, as well as the mountings of the optical device, do not require any modification."
