Definition
- 1Máquina compuesta de varias piezas de madera formando un conjunto aplanado, que se coloca verticalmente en el codaste de las embarcaciones, asegurándola por medio de machos de bronce o hierro que encajan en otras tantas hembras que hay en él. Sirve el timón manejado, por la caña que se hace firme a su extremo superior o cabeza, para dar a la nave siempre que camina o está aproada a una corriente, todos los movimientos giratorios que son necesarios. En los buques de hierro se compone el timón de planchas del mismo material; y en las embarcaciones menores se reduce a una tabla; en muchas de estas suelen estar los machos clavados en el codaste.
- 2El giro o la acción misma de esta máquina, la situación de su plano con respecto al longitudinal de la quilla, o la parte de superficie de este mismo plano considerada en proyección sobre el imaginario perpendicular a la quilla, en cualquier ángulo que forme con esta.
- 3Pieza del arado que une las partes funcionales del apero con el tiro y permite que sea arrastrado.
- 4Volante del automóvil.
