Russian to English
Tech/Engineering
Military / Defense
Armored vehicle -- tank
This is from a book on a World War II Czech-manufactured German tank , the Panzer 38(t). It's found in a part of the book describing differences among the various versions of the tank. Here's the context:
Согласно исследованиям Т. Йенца и Х. Дойла, располагающих фотографией танка с серийным номером 377, на этой модификации было изменено расстояние между болтами на верхней кромке верхнего лобового листа, притом что сам лист остался без изменений: толщина 25 мм, отступ стороны механика-водителя назад на 118 мм.
And my draft translation:
According to research by T. Jentz and H. Doyle, who have photographs of the tank bearing serial number 377, the spacing between the bolts on the upper edge of the top glacis plate was altered, but the plate itself remained unchanged, with a thickness of 25 mm and a 118-mm offset [indentation?] to the rear for the driver-mechanic.

: This or (almost) as the asker himself has put it: offset to the rear on the driver-mechanic side.

Curiously, this offset plate does not seem to appear in any real-life photos.
