  Sabot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A sabot refers to a device named for a shoe used in a firearm or cannon to fire a projectile or bullet that is smaller than the bore diameter.
Sabots are used to fire the flechettes that form anti-armour kinetic energy penetrators.
Shotgun sabots in general extend the full length of the projectile and are designed to be used in rifled barrels.

 Sabot v. Fargo Women's Health Organization, 500 N.W.2d 889 (N.D. 1993)
Sabot is bound by the portions of the transcript she has provided this Court on appeal, and it is with those pieces of evidence that we must evaluate the challenged jury instructions for error.
Sabot's next contention on appeal is that the trial court erred in not allowing her to introduce a medical treatise and an insert from a lidocaine package on rebuttal.
The fourth issue Sabot raises on appeal is that the judge's conduct during the trial illustrated his bias against her, and due to the judge's misconduct, she should be granted a new trial with a new judge.

 Impact Cratering Experiments - Sabot Description   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
This is an example of a projectile and sabot assembly - in this case, a 12.7-mm stainless steel ball in a sabot for the 20-mm gun.
Four pieces of the sabot stock are put together and inserted into the lathe, after which Bill or Gerry turns them down to the correct diameter for the gun into which it'll be loaded.
The projectile passes through a hole in a solid piece of steel, while the four pieces of sabot, thrown away from the flight path of the projectile, hit the steel and are taken out of the picture in a burst of glory.

 Dick Sabot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 Howstuffworks "How M1 Tanks Work"
The heart of the sabot round is the penetrator -- a narrow metal rod (typically depleted uranium) with a pointed nose on one end and stabilizing fins on the other.
On firing, the propellant casing remains in the chamber, and the expanding gas pushes the sabot and attached penetrator down the barrel.
The sabot is attached to the penetrator with relatively flimsy plastic, so it falls away as soon as the round leaves the cannon.

 Sabot v. Rykowsky, 363 N.W.2d 550 (N.D. 1985)
The trial court found that prior to October 24, 1979, Sabot had deeded fifteen acres to the Rykowskys, five acres from the contract for deed property and ten acres from the option contract property, and that as of October 24, 1979, the Rykowskys owed $5,500 on the purchase price of the fifteen acres.
Sabot contends that enforcement of the parties' oral agreement to terminate the contract for deed is precluded by the statute of frauds.
Although Sabot has raised two additional issues in his brief on appeal, our disposition of the statute of frauds issue is determinative of the outcome of the appeal.

 History of the Sabot
In 1947 the Sabot was adopted by the Black Rock Yacht Club as a junior training class and since then the class has become so popular that practically all the Victorian Clubs have adopted them.
The Sabot is 8' in length, 4' in beam and is cat rigged with 36 sq ft of sail.
Not to be outdone a summary of the introduction and control of the Sabot Class in North Queensland has been unearthed, unfortunately unsigned and undated, however, from reading the full document it would appear to be written in 1964.

 Guy de Maupassant : Theodule Sabot's Confession
Sabot was municipal councillor, and they thought he would become mayor, which would inevitably mean the final overthrow of the church.
Two attendants on the altar of the Virgin, two soar old maids, were decorating the altar for the month of Mary, under the direction of the priest, who stood in the middle of the chancel with his portly paunch, directing the two women who, mounted on chairs, were placing flowers around the tabernacle.
Sabot felt ill at ease in there, as though he were in the house of his greatest enemy, but the greed of gain was gnawing at his heart.

 Tripod remembers Dick Sabot
Dick Sabot (February 16, 1944 - July 10, 2005) was an economist, scholar, farmer, and Internet pioneer who was co-founder of Tripod.com, one of the first and most successful dot-coms, in 1992.
What I remember best about Dick Sabot (other than his kind nature, booming voice and speech peppered with phrases like 'very entrepreneurial' and 'Yankee frugality') was the day he welcomed me into his office when I was a lowly junior designer and he was a founder of Tripod.
He had mentioned in the weekly staff meeting that Tripod was trying to do a 'very entrepreneurial' deal with a foreign government that isn't known for being terribly open to either free speech, human rights or the cause of democracy.

This is dependent upon two factors; the density of the sabot base and the powder charge.
A proper load that creates enough pressure to ensure engagement of the sabot in the rifling and to seal off the grooves during the entire jouney down the barrel and out the muzzle is the key to great accuracy.
Therefore it is imperative that your sabot base be able to expand for the full range of muzzleloader barrels and muzzles.

The Naples Sabot is one of the largest and most popular one-design classes of sailing craft in existence today.
This popularity is due to two features: the leeboard (sideboard), which allows more versatility than a daggerboard; and the fixed keel, which allows the craft to be rowed or towed without a fish-tail effect, and also prevents taking in water through the daggerboard trunk.
The Naples Sabot should not be confused with the National Sabot, more commonly sailed in Australia.
