Dużo tych tradytorów w guglu, nawet ze zdjęciami, ale nijak nie mogę znaleźć po angielsku.
Tradytor - element fortyfikacji przeznaczony do prowadzenia ognia bocznego. Występuje w postaci skazamatowanych baterii artyleryjskich lub stanowisk karabinów maszynowych. Tradytor jest tak umiejscowiony aby był całkowicie niewidoczny od strony atakującego (od przedpola). Równia ogniowa jest tak poprowadzona aby kryć ogniem przedpole sąsiedniego obiektu/obiektów oraz międzypole, a tym samym zabezpieczać wzajemnie sąsiednie obiekty grupy. Tradytory sąsiadujące ze sobą tworzą system ognia krzyżowego na międzypolu. Były one również zwane milczącymi bateriami gdyż ze względu na bardzo ograniczony kąt ostrzału otwierały ogień dopiero w momencie gdy nieprzyjaciel znalazł się bezpośrednio przy osłanianych obiektach.
W 20-leciu międzywojennym tradytory były powszechnie stosownym elementem fortyfikacji w Polsce. Spotyka się wiele rejonów umocnionych składających się głównie z obiektów tradytorowych np. pozycja w rejonie Mławy czy Pszczyny.

flanking battery placement
1. From the Sally Port the Eighteen Gun Battery extends northwards to the Round Tower with a return section at right angles known as the Flanking Battery
2. Battery placement should be out of the transiting route of own attack forces.

bastion
The high walls of the medieval fortress were good for repelling attack from beneath, but were vulnerable to heavy guns: they presented large targets without providing suitable platforms for defensive fire. Yet if walls were to be low and stout, so as to withstand artillery bombardment, how were they to be defended against direct infantry assault? The new style of fortification emerged as a response to this problem. The solution was to create squat, thick walls that were defended by sidelong or flanking fire aimed from projecting gun emplacements or bastions. These bastions had to offer protection to the adjoining walls on either side and the whole fort had to be enclosed, resulting in polygonal outline plans. The angled shape of the bastions was progressively refined so that each bastion offered covering fire to its neighbours and no 'dead space' remained hidden from defensive fire...

There were six basic types of bastions: demi-bastions, empty bastions, full bastions, flat bastions, detached bastions, and tower bastions. A Demi-Bastion, also called a half-bastion, was a salient element of a fortification that included the typical bastion trace of face and flank on one side of the capital of the salient angle and a straight line of rampart or parapet that was directed toward the rear on the opposite side of the capital
