must be careful to see that the wheels of the carriage are in the same
horizontal plane; if the ground is uneven it must be levelled with an
entrenching tool, which should always be carried with the gun.”

Page 44, after “Reform Detachment—as before detailed,” insert

“Before moving the gun from one position to another, the officer or
non-commissioned officer in charge, must satisfy himself that the
instructions under the head of ‘Cease Fire’ have been properly carried

General Description of the Guns.

Where paragraphs do not apply generally, the particular Guns to which

they refer are marginally noted.

In guns of more than one barrel, the axes of the barrels lie in a
horizontal plane, and are parallel to each other.
1 & 2.Barrel. The barrels are fixed in a rectangular gull-metal casing, closed in
at the top by a cover, which is pivoted to the fore-end and locked
down by means of a cascable screw.
5’Barrel. The barrels are supported by the centre cross piece and fore end
of a gun-metal frame, and secured by screws and bushes.
In the breech easing are the locks which carry the mechanism for
igniting the cartridges and extracting the cartridge cases. The locks
are driven backward and forward by means of a disc crank, worked
by the handle. At the forward motion the cartridges are pushed into
the barrel chambers, and there held during the time of discharge,
whilst during the backward motion the cases are withdrawn.
The gun is fed from a vertical cartridge feeder, which is attached
to the cover behind an opening or openings through which the
cartridges fall from the feeder to the cartridge carrier.
1 & 2.flarrel. The cartridge carrier, which is to the rear of the breech-ends of
the barrels, has a transverse motion for the purpose of bringing the
cartridges from the opening in the cover to a position opposite the
barrel chambers (in the 2-barrel right and left alternately) when it is
in line with the lock plunger.
The cartridge feeders hold in—

the 2-barrel .. , . . . . . 24 ,,

the i-barrel .. .. .. . . 30
These feeders are kept supplied during firing from cartridge holders,
The cartridge holders are wooden blocks with holes sunk to
contain, in—
the 5-barrel .. .. .. . . 50 cartridges.

When filled, the slide is put on.

~-i3arrel. Between the hopper and. the cartridge carrier is the feed valve,
in which arc openings corresponding with openings in the hopper. It
has a transverse motion, for the purpose of bringing tile cartridges
from the opernngs in the hopper to a position opposite the barrels and
in line with the lock plungers.
C.hbRrrel. The extractor is pivoted to the lock plunger, during the forward
motion of which it is free to rise over the cartridge head; whilst
during extraction it is hold firmly down to the plunger by the feed
valve, which receives a slight motion from the cam on the disc crank
for this purpose.
Sighting—The guns are sighted up to 2,000 yards.
1-Thtrrel. Time tangent sight is clamped in any desired position by a cam.
 13
The slide is marked on its right edge from 0 to 1,300 yards mmcl 5.Barrcl.
on its left edge from 1,400 to 2,000 yards. Time right Imaiid marking
is for use when the head of the stem is resting upon time top of-the
slide; the left hand marking when the stem is fully withdrawn; the
spring, which simaps into a recess in the slide, acts as a stop. Time
sights are interchangeable, and may be used either as right or loft
hand.
Safety Bar.—This bar passes through the casing in front of the
hammers; when it is down (or in safe position) they cannot com-
plete their forward movement; the springs are consequently kept
compressed, arid cartridges may be worked through ihe gun unfired.
Stop-off Block.—Tiie object of this block is to enable a 2-barrel 2-Barrel.
gun to be used as a 1-barrel gun in the event of one of the barrels
becoming unserviceable, without waste of ammunition.
To use it. Remove the lock from tile barrel from which it is
intended to discontinue the fire.
Drop the block on to the cartridge carrier, with the bevelled edgo
towards the centre of the gun.
Feed and fire as usual.
The same block answers for either right or left, by simply turning
it end for end.
The Shield consists of a steel plate, which is held in holders 5-Barrel.
swinging on the sides of the frame; and when not in use may be
turned down over the barrels, in whieh position it serves to secure the
cartridge feeder. -

Action of Mechanism.
Supposing the 1-barrel gun, or the left-hand barrel of the 2-barrel 1 & 2-Ihirrol.
gun, to have just been fired, as the crank handle revolves the cam on
the crank disc causes the cartridge carrier to move to the right, and
the ejector which has passed under the plunger rises to the right of it,
forming a trough under the opening in the cover, and into this trough
the cartridge falls ready for conveyance to the barrel chamber. The
disc then causes the hammer to be turned on its axis, drawing back
the firing pin, and compressing the lock spring. Time crank pin then
takes against the rear end of the butt of the lock and forces it back-
ward, extracting the cartridge ease.
The lock being fully back, the cartridge carrier moves to the
left, bringing the cartridge from under the opening in the cover to a
position in line with the barrel chamber, and wit-h its rim or head
between the face of the plunger and the hook of time extractor; at the
same time the case is being thrown out at an opening in the side of
the casing.
The lock now moves forward, pushing the cartridge into the
chamber, and forcing down the ejector that it may pass under the
lock; the hammer rises as it arrives at the opening in the crank disc,
the spring is released, the firing pin fiie~forward and ignites the
cartridge.
In tho 2-barrel gun the right and ieft hand barrels are fired
alterriacely; the right hock advancing as the left is being withdrawn,
and vice versa.
The cartridge carrier is actuated by a cam upon the disc crank.
The springs having been first released by firing— 5.DaIrel
As the crank handle revolves, the ci’ank disc causes the hammers
 14

to be turned upon their axes, drawing back time firing pins, and
compressing the lock springs.
Tue crank timen takes against the rear end of the butts of the
locks, and the locks move to time rear, extracting the cartridge cases.
When the locks are as far back as possible, the loft cam takes
against the left cam lever and moves the feed valve from left to
right, forcing down a cartridge on the top of the case, which falls to
the ground.
When the crank handle passes the highest part of its revolution,
time crank takes against the front parts of the butts of the locks, and
they commence to move forward, driving time cartridges in front of
them; at the same instant tile right cern takes against the right cam
lever, and moves the feed valve from right to left.
As the handle continues to revolve, time locks move forward till the
breech ends of the barrels are closed by time plungers, when they stop.
There is now a slight further action of the right cam lever, which
moves the feed valve more to the left, and causes it to bear on tile
extractors, which are thus forced down over the cartridge rim ready
for extracting.
The handle then continuing the revolution, each spring is released
in succession as the hammers arrive at the break in the crank disc,
which allows them to rise.

Instructions for Armourers in Stripping and Assembling

the Guns.
To remove a Locle.—Seo that the safety bar is in the firing position
open time cover and turn time crank handle until the crank pin is
uppermost; when in this position the fore end of the plunger will be
about two indies from the breech end of the barrel; take hold of the
plunger and raise it, at the same time moving tile crank handle
slightly; the lock will now come away. -
1 & 2-Barrel. To remove the Cartri(lge Carrier—In the 1-barrel lift up the
fixing plate (in tho 2-barrel the right-hand hood) and push out the
guide pins; turn the crank handle until the cartridge carrier is to the
left, then with the fingers inserted through the discharge ports lift
out tim carrier. It will be found easier to remove tile cartridge
carrier if both hoods are first taken from the casing, but with a little
practice it may be removed without.
To remove the Safety Bar.—Lift up the right hand hood (in
tile 1-barrel the fixing plate), and draw out time safety bar.
To remove the Crank.—Piace the fiat part of the spanner in the
slot in the left axis p111, letting time cross_piece or screwdriver end
rest upon tile frame at the rear; take hold of the crank handle and
give a smart backward turn. This will loosen the left axis pin. Do
not take it quite out until the right axis pin is loosened, which is
accomplished by placing a piece of hard wood betweea the crank and
rear cud of time breech casing and turning tile crank handle backwards.
Both axis pins being removed, the crank may be lifted out.
1 & ~.Bmrrel. To l?evmove a Barrel—Remove the hoods (in the 1-barrel the hood
and fixing plate), and drive the barrel fixing pin out of time casing;
drive the barrel forward with a piece of hard wood and hammer.
Metal drifts must not be used for this purpose,
6.Bmrr~i. To reniouc liarrelg.—Tako out the fixing screws from the muzzle
and brcerhi; push Lime barrel and bush forward until thu breech cmiii
 15

is clear of the centre crosspiece; take the bush from time muzzle and
draw the barrel to the rear, clear of time gun. -

To strip a Loch—Compress time spring by means of time hammer;

place time jaws of the spanner over time spring as low as possible; this
will keep the spring compressed; when the hammer is released, the
spring may be taken from thme lock; take out time hammer, drive out
the fixing pin from the plunger and draw off the butt; take out time
firing pin, drive out the fixing pin and remove the extractor. If it is
necessary to remove tile spring from the spanner, compress the spring
in a vice, or between time casing and the cover of the gun, when it will
be left free of time spanner. Care must be taken to hold the open end
of the spring in time vice and not time turned end.
To remove Feed Valve.—Take out the pivot screws from the feed 5-Barrel.
valve lever; the feed valve will now slide out.
To strip time Tangent Siglml.—Drive out time taper pin, and take off 5-Barrel.
the milled head, take out the Oxing screws and remove the bracket,
take out the pinion, then remove the sight and spring; when it is
necessary to take out the stem, the stem spring must be forced back
by pressing a piece of wire through the hole in the slide; the stem
may then be withdrawn.
To strip the Traversing Gear in cone mo-unting.—--Drivo out the taper 5-Barrel.
pin and take off the hand-wheel, take off the adjusting-nuts and
collar, then take out the bearing-nuts with the gib-key supplied for
that purpose.
To strip the Elevating Gear.—Take out the joint pin, draw back the
pivot screws; take out time Uxing screw and remove strap and shoe,
the screws may then be taken from tile gunmetal nut. In reassem-
bling see that tue arrows marked on the threads coincide.
N.B.—Ahl pins without heads are to be driven out FROM TIlE LEFT.
To assemble Gun.—Reverse the foregoing operations, taking care
in replacing locks to have the crank pins in the same position as
directed for stripping, and that the end of the hammer is under the
crank and not in the opening of time disc. See that the locks of time
2-barrel gun are placed right and left as marked.
The barrels of the 2-barrel, and the locks and barrels of the
5-barrel guns are interchangeable. Should the fixing screw of time
5-barrel or fixing pin of the 2 and 1-barrel gun be found difficult to
enter, the groove in the barrel may ho eased away with a round file
until the screw goes home. Copy the chamfer en the breech end of
the barrel from the old one in the 2-barrel gun.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CARE AND PRESERVATiON OF RIFLE

CALIBRE MACnINE GUNS.

The mechanism, barrels, chambers and every part of the gun should
be kept free from rust and lightly oiled,
The mechanism simould if possible be cleaned and oiled every morn-
immg. To perform this in an efficient manner proceed as follows
Dismount the mechanism, clean off all clogged oil. Clean and very
lightly oil all movable parts and the surfaces on which they move;
see that the hammers and firing pins move freely in their respective
 16

channels, arid that the lock springs, extractors, &e., are in perfect
~mder. -

Mount the mechanism, work the mechanism by means of the hand

lover or crank handle, and ascertain that all parts work perfectly
smoothly, if not, sonic of the surfaces are not sufficiently eican, and
these should be attended to.
The axletrees and chambers of the wheels should be frequently
cleared from clotted grease, and all dirt removed before lubricating,
and then supplied with fresh grease.
Before travelling, all fastenings should be examined to see that
they are properly secured, and the elevating and traversing screws
clamped to prevent them moving.
When cleaning time gun, turpentine or oil is to be used; on no
account may emery cloth or any cutting substance be allowed. In
oiling before assembling, use rangoon oil sparingly, oil the parts all
over, but do not put enough to allow it to run into drops, or it will
clog. It is very important that the barrel chambers should be kept
clean; they should be oiled immediately after the firing ceases.
When time gun is not loaded, the crank handle or hand lever must
not be worked until the safety bar or drill stop is placed at “safe”
position; neglect of this will cause serious damage to the chambers.

parts are made of gun-metal. They consist externally of two parts,
which are packed separately—viz., the fuze proper, and the thimble
by whicim it is ignited.
Time fuze is fitted and screwed to suit time general service fuze hole.
It is screwed into time fuze hole of the, -I~ell~sbt~.

The exterior circunifcrcncc of the bod~ef’thm~ fnze’~ ~iduaiccl in

inches and tenths of an inch, and a small hiolei~-1~ur~[ iii it for the
reception of a projectiimg pin on the faze key. The metal collar is
marked with an arrow, which, wimen time fuze is being sot, 1111-1st ho
made to correspond with the desired mu-irk on time graduated scuilo;
and it is furnished on the top with two recesses infu which time key
fits for turning it. Time clamping miut is cut with six fuecs, to suit t-ho
hexagonal hole in the centre of the key.
The fuze is graduated to 5 imiclmos, and when set to that length it
burns (at rest) about 111 seconds, or about 0222 second per unit
of one-tenth.
Ignition of the fuze composition is effected by means of a
“thimble,” whiehm consists of a percussion pellet, suspended in a metal
screw plug, over a needlo point in time centre of the fuze.
This timimble is carried separately from time fuze, and must not in,
screwed therein until after time faze has been inserted into tho shell
and adjusted, and at time moment of loading.
Gm-eat care should ho taken after the thimble is inserted that the
shell is not droppcd, particularly on its base.

Time “ewmcussion” arrauugememit is contained in the lower part of
time fuse. It consists of a wimite metal pellet, or hammer, containing
time detonating composition, and a pellet of pressed powder, asmd a
metal guard. The guard is suspended by means of a brass rimig,
wimicim passes round the pellet, resting cmi a band slightly enlarged in
diameter, at time bottom of time pellet. Time ring is divided sons to be
free to expand. On the shock of discharge, time weight of time guard
sets down time ring over time band on the pellet, and time guard is
locked by time upper part o-f time pellet being expanded into an internal
groove at- time top of the guard.
If it be desired that the percussion arrangememmt alone simould act,
time am-row en time collar must be set midway between time zero point of
time graduation and time extremne length of fuzo composition. Great
care nmnst be taken that it is imot set too near the zero, in order to
iivoid ‘‘ prcniatures.’’
Time uumetimod of fixing the fuse is as follows
(a) The fuse, without the thimble, is tightly screwed into the
fuse hole by means of the “ Key, fuse, universal,” before
i-lie shell is bs-ouglmt to the gun.
(b) Time metal nut is unscrewed a little by hand or key, to
loosen ti-me metal collar, which is turned until the arrow head
on it is opposite time desired mark on time scale.
(c) The nut is now tightened to keep the collar in this position.
(ci) The thmimuble mmmst -not be screwed into the top of time fuzo
until the moment of loading.
Weight of fuzo, 13 ozs. 1 dram.
Eacim fuse, without its thimble, is wrapped in paper, and packed
in a tin box em’ cylinder, hermetically closed by a tin band.
The thimbles are also packed in tin cylinders, containing 20 each.

FILLING CARTRIDGES.
Care will ho taken to see that time empty cartridges am-c properly
siry before being filled, and time pi-oper charge will lie carefully
weighed out, and inserted by means of time “Funnel, copper,
cartridge.” - -

Cartridges will ho choked bydrawing togctimcr time month of time cam-i-

ridge into several plaits with a nickel-silver needle, timseadud with two
strands of silk twist; after thawing togetimer the moutim of time eartm-idge,
three tunis will be t-akcmi round time plaits, and time choke tlmus formed
will be further secured by passing time needle three times tlmroughm it
alternately above mmd below time tm-na, thereby stitching down time
turns round the choke at two points equi-distant fm-cm each other.
TI-me cartridges will ho made up to timeim- proper lemmgt-hms timid
diameters by means of f-lie hoops, which should be ~lrawmm tight so as
to make a fm-rn cartridge.
Hooping.—Draw the braid through the silk cloth until lime knot
of the loop comes imome to time cartm-idge, time single end being already
passed through thmo ioop from undei-neatlm; pass it to one side of timid
nnd under the loop, then draw the imoop tight and keep it so by placimig
the forefinger of the left hand firmly on the loop; bi-imig time rmirnming
end between itself and time loop, amid draw tight time single bend thins
formed, taking care timat the bend bites on tire loop and not ems the single
end-, otherwise the kimot will slip. Time maintenance of the proper forum
of time cartridgo depends on the hooping being thus secured.

- Marking Filled Cartridges.

Cartridges will be marked with tlme natum-e of powder they con-
-thin, A record of powder used in all cartridges, with maker’s name,
lot, and date of filling, will be marked on time package, ammd will bo kept

This consists of a body, anvil, striker, washier, percussiosm cap,
copper disc, two paper discs, amid a cork plug. Time body is made of
brass, solid drawn ; a hole is drilled through the hicmtd to receive the
striker, which is secured in position by being countersurmk into time
washer as shown in the Plato. The upper part of thu chamnbei- is
screwed and fitted w-ithm an anvil, on which is 1u-mced time pci-emission
Cap, time upper simm-face of wimich is in contact1 with f-ho atm-ike-n ; a
small fire-Imohe is drilled through the axis of the anvil. The remainder
of the space in the tube is filled with loose pistol powder, amid time
bottom is closed with a paper disc and cork plug, coated anti var-
nisimed.
Omi firing time gun the point of the strikem- of the percussion lock
drives time sti-iker of the tube, together with time percussion cap, 0mm to
the anvil, thins firing the tubo.
* Mark III. has its mouth closed by a brass ball secured by sulphur,
the ball clearing the vent of debris uv}men fired.

~~otes. -

Jim the event of a tube failing to ignite time carti-idge, care should
be taken in extracting i-ho fired tube mmot to stand directly in rear of
the gun, as the gas generated will cause the tube to fly out with some
violence when eased by time extractor.
Time vent somnetiames hecomos choked with residue from time car-
tridge. It should be cleared with a “rimer, vent, axial,” sufficiently
to allow of time insertion of a tube, which, whemi fired, will remove
time rest of the obstruction.
A tube is not to be inserted in time vemmt till time breech is properly’
closed.

EXTRACTORS.
Two Fom-mns of Extractor are supplied with timo 5-inch B.L. gun.
Time “Extractor, tube, ‘P ‘ (Mark I.),” and the “Extractor, tube,
P’ special (Mark I.),”
The “P “ Extractor is a short steel bar shaped like a letter S and
having claw-shaped jaws at both ends.
To exti-act a limbo; first raise time lock and insert time jaws of time
extractor under time head of the tube; then, using tho end of time
extractor remote fm-em the tube as a lever,, prise up the tube and
remove it. -

When mm tube is too tgiitiy jammned to be removed as directed

above, thmo “P special” must be mmscd.
This extractor consists of a steel sheath containing two jaws, con-
tm’ohlcd by a revolving cx-oss-hammdho which works in the top of the
simeathi. Thmo jaws, which arc simaped to fit time head of time tube, open
and protrude fm-oni, or close and recede into, thmc simeatim, according to
time direction in which time cross handle is turned.
To extract a tube; first remove the hock, then turning time cross-
handle until time jaws protrude, fit the jaws over the Imeimfi of time tube.
Reversing time motion of time cross-handle, time jaws close and nip
time 1111)0, and time Imandle being further turned f-he jaws recede,
fomcibly drawing the tube with them.

projectile, fiom, &c., sets his tangent scale to the required elevation
and deflection; wimesm time fuzes are used ho sets thorn at the proper
length by means of a key, which is provided by 5 (tIme mints having
been previously loosened at time sheli store) ; if time fazes with
dctrmchmed detonators am-c iii use, hoe screws one into tim nose of tlmo
fuze. When time loading is completed he presses down the catch on

1,mstrmmctiong for Carrying out the Opcm-atiomrs.~

4. In time case of guns of 64-pr. and larger calibres, two slaba

must be employed.
5. Insert a detonator into a dry primer.
6. 0mm ama account should a detonates’ be twisted oa- roughly forced into
a ps—inner.
7. Insert the- dry pi-imer fitted with detonator into time perfora~
tions iii omue of time slabs, pusimimog it gently in until the bole inn the slab
is quite liiled by it. -

8. Tie a piece of twine round time detonaton-, pass time ends m-ound
the slab, a-nd therm tie timeni together; time object beirmg to pa-event timo
primer- slipping out of the slab.
9. Placo the slabs longtlmways On the chase, time-jr long sides
tonchmirmg, about a -toot h-oui f-he muzzle. Tie them on tightly with
twine, to pm-eve-mit time-rem shippinmg frons wind or other distus-bing cause.
10. ‘I’ime exact position must depend on the form of the gun. The
great thiimg is to have as much of time surface of time cotton in actual
contact wit-lu timo gun as possible. Hence the slabs should not ride on
aim astm’agrul or moulding, but should always be piriced on a plain part
of time christ-.
11. Obses-vo time direction of the ~vinc1, and al-range the slab
contaimming time- detommatci- so that the tail of the safety fmmzo is away from
the slab amid to lee-win-il of it. Timis is to lessemm tIme chance of a spark
igmmitirmg time guneotton before the cletomaator is fired, its which case,
jim all probability, no effect whatever would be produced on time gun.
12, If projectile-s ixilomoging to time gun ni-c uvailable-, mmd time
allows, it is advisable to ram one up the bore; so that when time gun
is dented by time explosion it may be imprisoned there rind prevent the
gun from being used even to fire a bag of bullets.
13. Tern- em’ c-at time little calico cap off time end of time~safety fuzo
and. ignite- the funi by time vosuviamm matclmcs provided, 01’ other con-
venient means. An oi-dinaa-y flame does not readily ignite it. Time
faze ignites most easily mvheam cut oblicpiely with a shmai-p knife.
14. Retire under cover, and await time explosion. The length of
safety fmmzo will burn about 45 seconds.
15. Should circumstances permit, time effect of the detonation will
be irmcrcase-d by placing a filled sandbag or a sod of turf on the gun-
cotton, wise-n lashed in jmosition on time chase, Gre-at care should be
taken in tloi~operations not to strike or bend the detonator,
16. It is also advisable, after time explosion, to try if the gun is so
dented as to prevent loading. If the des-mt is not sulhicient, the opera-
tion simould ho repeated, putting the fresh slabs in the name place as
the fir-st.

Caution.

17. Never roughly bend or kink the safety fuze. If it has app~r~
cathy gene out without firing the detonator, allow at least half an

~ &. note at end.

hour to elapse before meddling with it, If time will admit, bat it not,
the greatest care must be taken in touching it, to avoid accident by a
“hang-fire.”
18. The above instructions apply equally to the hasty disable-
ment of field guns, but with thorn only one slab of guncotton need be
used.

NoTrn.—Pho above instructions have been prepared with special

reference to the disablemnoat or destructions of muzzle-loading guns.
Breech-loading guns can generally be temporarily disabled by the
removal or destruction of portions of the breech apparatus. In des-
troying such guns, or rendering thorn permanently disabled, Offi~er~
will, while being gelded generally by those instructions, use their
discretion as to the application of the el-merges in such positions ins
appear most suitable, according to the particular construction of the
gun to be operated upon.

INSTRUCTIONS Poll, USING WATKIN’~ CL1~OMETBE.

To read the angles marked oaths dntm-.—The brass drum is marked

in degrees, commencing at 00 on the top to 450 at the bottom. Each
degree is subdivided irmto twelve parts; each small division therofor~
represents angles of 5 minutes.
The scale is read from right to loft, thus

~1~’,_ ~ ~ I ~

the reading opposite the nrrow wumid indicato an nngle of ~ 25”.

To lay a gun or howitzer at any angle sep to 45°.—Unscrew the
drum until the 4
points to the elevation required, place the dine-
meter, thus—

on the piano surface cut on time -brooch, or against the muzzle, thus—

and elevate tIme picco until the bubble of the spirit.levei is in the
~cntro of time tube.
- For ~nglcs of deprcssion—Procced as above, but reverse the
direction of the instrument, placimmg it timus era the breech of the gun—

and thus on the muzzle—~

l’or angles of elevation greater than 45°.—Subtract time angle of

elevation required from p0°,unscrew time drum to this reading; .thns,
for 60°,unscrew the drum to 30°,mmd place the instrument om~sthe
breech of i-he gun, thus—
