	Embrasure -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The purpose of embrasures is to allow weapons to be fired out from the fortification while the firer remains under cover.
		By the nineteenth century, a distinction was made between embrasures being used for (A large artillery gun that is usually on wheels) cannon, and loopholes being used for (A muzzle-loading shoulder gun with a long barrel; formerly used by infantrymen) musketry.
		A distinction was made between vertical and horizontal embrasures or loopholes, depending on the orientation of the slit formed in the outside wall.

	CWFF Website: Dictionary of Fortification: Embrasure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Embrasures were generally employed when it was necessary to cover artillerists serving a piece from enemy musket or artillery fire and when a piece did not require a wide wide field of fire.
		Embrasures in field fortifications were usually given a trapezoidal shape with a narrow neck through the interior slope of a parapet that gradually widened until it reached the crest of the exterior slope.
		Cut surfaces on either side of an embrasure were referred to as cheeks and were usually revetted with gabions or fascines to stand at a slope of one unit of base to three units of altitude above the lower flat surface of the embrasure, called the sole.

		The term embrasure, in architecture, refers to the opening in a crenellation or battlement between the two raised solid portions or merlons, sometimes called a crenelle; also to the splay of a window.
		A loophole, arrow loop or arrow slit is a similar concept, but passes through a solid wall and was originally for use by archers.
		By the nineteenth century, a distinction was made between embrasures being used for cannon, and loopholes being used for musketry.

		Since the width of this embrasure is wider than a single gabion it may be presumed that the embrasure pre-dated the revetment and that the gabion revetment was constructed around the mouth of the embrasure rather than the embrasure cut through the parapet after the revetment had been established.
		Since this gun is in a re-entrant angle it may be assumed that it was primarily intended for flank defense of the collateral salient (visible in the background) and was widened so that it could strike targets at a greater than normal distance in front of the re-entrant and collateral salient angles.
		The upper ends have been attached to the ends of the crowning timbers, which were cut through to open the embrasure along the interior crest of the parapet.

	Removable attachment for partial denture - Patent 4406622
		The minimal contacted portion of pontic with the surface of the gingiva causes an embrasure to be greatly created between the pontic and the gingiva as well as the abutment natural teeth.
		But in light of oral physiology, the great embrasure does not have bad effects on oral health because there is provided a massage effect of gingiva by passing a piece of the foods through the embrasure.
		Also, in light of the mechanism of the fixed bridge, as the pontic connected between the abutment teeth is maintained in the lifting position from the gingiva, when masticating the foods, the masticating force is applied to the occlusal surface of the pontic like to the occlusal surface of the natural tooth.

		When necessary, these openings are covered outside by a heavy metal shield, which can be moved either to the right or left of the embrasure by means of a lever inside the pillbox.
		The pillbox can best be detected by the outline of its embrasure, its periscopes, and its flue pipe, and by flash and powder smoke when the machine gun is fired.
		Riflemen or mortar squads should demolish the periscopes, thus leaving the crew without means of observation, apart from the embrasure peephole.

		Three of the embrasure check-irons that I had placed in the second tier loopholes were knocked out of place; several of the stones that had been placed in the first tier loop-holes were struck, but, owing to the lead run in around them to hold them in place, none were broken.
