Airplane Structure
"Classiquement, la liaison du moteur à l'aéronef est effectuée au moyen d'une structure de support comprenant deux poutres longitudinales supérieures, souvent appelées poutres 12 heures en raison de leur position au sommet de la nacelle, deux poutres longitudinales inférieures, classiquement appelées poutres 6 heures en raison de leur position dans la partie inférieure de la nacelle, et un ensemble présentant une forme sensiblement annulaire appelé cadre avant, formé en réalité de deux demi-cadres s'étendant chacun entre lesdites poutres longitudinales supérieures et inférieures, et destiné à être fixé à la périphérie du bord aval du carter de la soufflante du moteur"

12 o'c beam
We do use the same sort of clock-face descriptions in EN — not sure, though if this is applicable in the specific context here.
Note, too, that 'beam' might not be correct — but again, that's a question of specialist terminology; though 'beam' is indeed used in a context of airframes...

I think the use of 'clock-face positions' is a bit dubious in a patent anyway, but I don't think using the abbreviation o'c really makes it any worse; however, you should wait for advice from patent experts, which I am not.

Excellent!There you go then! And it seems that previous writer preferred the version of o'clock in full.

Note from asker:
| Thanks Tony M. A side note; I think that beam can be used in this context. http://www.dassault-aviation.com/fr/services/lexique-bilingue/?sw=poutre&lang=french |
| Can it be written that way in patents? Or should it be written "12 o'clock"? |
| Thanks again Tony M. |
| Another note: I searched the web using your suggestion: here's what I found; http://pages.citebite.com/a4o0a1n3j0oqq |
