  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Subordinary  \Sub*or"di*na*ry\,  n.  (Her.) 
  One  of  several  heraldic  bearings  somewhat  less  common  than  an 
  ordinary.  See  {Ordinary}. 
 
  Note:  Different  writers  name  different  bearings  as 
  subordinaries  but  the  bar,  bend,  sinister,  pile, 
  inescutcheon  bordure,  gyron,  and  quarter,  are  always 
  considered  subordinaries  by  those  who  do  not  class  them 
  as  ordinaries.
