rotatably mounted

(You cannot be more specific than this and still be correct.) The author is not stating by what means the cylinder is rotatably mounted. The implication is a frictionless type of bearing, but it could be a simple oil bearing, an air bearing, etc. The bearing could be on the cylinder or on the surrounding structure.

"rotatably mounted", nothing more. You cannot be more specific than this and still be correct.)
Note from asker:
Is it enough on its own, or would it be better to say "rotatably mounted in a bearing"?
Peer comment(s):

agree Peter Warwick : I would say this is correct. Here is a reference: http://www.linguee.de/deutsch-englisch/search?sourceoverride...
