"The Military Channel's Tank Rebuild tonight had the Isle of Wight Military Museum crew rebuilding a Comet tank. The crew had problems removing the mantlet, and the crew leader mentioned it was "absolute stupidity" or "absolute idiocy" to put turret balls beneath the mantle. What is a turret ball?"
I saw this episode but missed that aspect, other than the problems with mantlet removal. What sayeth the forum about "turret balls"?

A bit of an accent wouldn't you say? I've seen that episode a million times.
