SonnyJ Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 As everyone knows many parts on the C-130 get a nickname. We have come across one we aren\'t sure what exactly they are referring to in the discrepancies. We are trying to figure out what a \"Bread Pan\" is. My initial guess is the heatshield behind the engines but when I saw writeups like \"(/) RT WING OWS137 LEADING EDGE OF BREAD PAN U BRACE CRACKED\", \"(/) RIGHT WING, CRACK IN BREAD PAN U-CHANNEL WS 214.\", or \"PATCH IS BAD ON BREAD BASKET AROUND MIDDLE JACKSCREW OF THE INBD FLAP\". Then there is Disc: \"ACFT REQ NEW BREAD BANS\", Corr Action: \"NO LONGER REQUIRED DUE TO INSTALL OF TUBS AND TRACKS\". So now I am not sure what a \"bread pan\", \"bread basket\", or \"breadbox\" is on the C-130. Any inputs? While we are on the subject how about everyone post the nicknames for parts they use or have used? It ought to be interesting to see what comes out. Thanks, Sonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalbasher Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 is it the life raft tub? Thought about the old radio compartment panel area but most of those have been riveted down by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donwon Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 The only thing that comes to mind for me is the \"Hog Trouf\" and \"Pogo Stick\". Well it,s been over 40 years. Almost forgot the \"Beaver Tail\". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Sonny, I haven\'t heard of the bread pans / bread box either. Almost sounds like something to do with the life raft tubs...... Other nicknames (?) for parts: pork chop fittings snow plow dogbone (ramp ADS support arm?) wishbone (prop handling tool?) strongback (Fulton Skyanchor structure) teacup (Fulton Skyanchor spindle) John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjvr99 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Pork chops are \'haram\' - known as lamb chops in the sandbox Lighthouse - area between #2 and #3 bearing in the engine Snake pit - airconditioning bay in the B727, back of the fwd cargo bay Hog trough = horse trough Beaver tail = platypus tail Dogbones are condition lever transfer arms on the engine control gimbal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1300 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I still use many of the terms we had for years: Grasshoppers - ads support arms on the ramp Dog Bones - gimble links Hog Trough - overhead center equipment rack down the middle of the cargo comparment Elephant ears - raised skin of the ramp that covers the actuator attachement Dog Legs - aft nose gear door swing arms Chicken Legs - connector rod between flap jackscrew and flap Pork Chops - ends of the structure that connects one wheel well to the other across the fuselage belly Butterfly fittings - the lower part of the vertical support rods aft of the ramp hings that attach to the sloping longerons Bath Tubs - the sloping longeron end attach fittings at F.S. 737 Spiders - on the old C-130s before the \"new\" AC packs - the ejectors below the heat axchangers Bread pans, bread backets, etc... are all new to me.

Gmon Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Don\'t forget everything on the engine is a donkey dick, from the antler drains, to the prop nut removal sleeve. Sorry, I do not know what the bread box is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyclark Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 We called the SST181 Beacon antenna a donkey dick, same as on the F4 and A7. Bread box is the box aft of the nav table where we put the APN59 scope.

bbuech Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I was taught that the bread pan is the panel behind the engine exhaust. Its called the aft nacelle fairing in TO 1C-130H-4-54-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Elephant Ears = Ramp actuator cylinder connection OR NLG tow bar break-away connection Snatch Blocks = MLG aux jackpads Grenade = Ratchet adapter for prop hub-nut installation Dog Leg = Upper corners of the paratroop doors (pinned) Article 15 switch = Ignition kills switch in junction box Donkey Dick = (there are so many...) UARRSI tester (male end) Gills = Outflow valve outlet Hot Screw = Splice panel corners (roughly) Lollipops = Paratroop door locks Pucks = 5th/10th bleed valves Snakepit = Utility hydraulic sevice center As for the breadbox, I have heard the radar scope stowage compartment refered to as the breadbox.

Wombat Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 How about: Armpit = wing root Tuning fork = Aft cago door actuator lower link and for a foreign flavor from Down Under: Duck\'s arse = old A, B and E beaver tail Piss-o-phone = urinal Large brown smell = unemptied crapper (after several days) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INS/Dopplertroop Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 The Avionics Bay under the Flight Deck was always the "Hell Hole". Spend an hour or more, or run in and out of it a half dozen times and you'll understand. Knee, head, and back killer. Uniform and skin ripper (corners and safety wire pigtails). Oh yeah Pigtails - the quarter to half inch, 6 to 8 twists, safety wire end securing LRUs in their racks. Jesus Clips - the little C-clips that would snap onto the end of various shafts. They got the term (Jesus) because that was the clean word uttered everytime they went flying off somewhere. TTU-205 pitot tube hose adapters have been called donkey dicks pretty much everywhere as well. I saw the the Arkansas panel mentioned. The C-5 has a panel named for a State also. The Texas panel.

yawdamper Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Agreed, the bread pan is the heat shield just aft of the engine exhaust and mounted to the underside of the wing. It has a corrugated like design that looks like you could cook multiple loaves of bread in. Hog Trough: Cargo Compt Overhead Rack Pork Cop Fitting: Attaches Floor to sidewall panels Rainbow Fitting: Center wing to Outer Wing attach Honey Bucket: Fixed urinal Horse Collar: Hinged Panel just aft of engine on top of wing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
