You have to take the gist of it to get the idea.

See second description.

Machines often borrow words from the gun. Not surprizingly, as weapons production always have been strongly connected with the machine industry.

Carousel - something that turns around its own axis.
Turret - a vertical projecting part.
Magazine - a container.
There don't seem to be any hard fixed rules in machinery, and I suspect the terms may be applied somewhat haphazardly or even interchangeably.

robotic regards,

Tom
