Shelldrake
Author: Harold A. Skaarup
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1469750007
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
"Shelldrake is an informative and detailed synopsis of the carefully preserved and restored guns and artillery on display in Canada. The Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery is represented by a long and distinguished line of gunners with historical ties back to the days before Canada's Confederation. The honour of defending Canada while standing steady to support operations overseas in peace and war continues to this day. In doing so, it is necessary to remember that the weapons of war are an integral part of what keeps this nation safe, although the examples that have been used to make it so are few and far between. The descriptions of Canadian artillery and the places of honour where they can be viewed highlights the importance of the equipment that brought our nation forward at key turning points in history when our guns were in use as tools of war at home and overseas. This guide book will show the interested reader where to find examples of the historical guns preserved in Canada, and perhaps serve as a window on how Canada's military contribution to security in the world has evolved."--Page 4 of cover.

Book Description
Excerpt from Notes on Anti-Aircraft Guns: Compiled at the Army War College From the Latest Available Information; April, 1917 The Italians use the 75 mm. (3-inch) Deport gun for antiaircraft service. It has a maximum elevation of 85, and fires 21 shots a minute. Shrapnel is considered inefficient; the high explosive shells, which are much preferred, carry either a time or a detonating fuse. The incendiary shell, used with a time fuse, throws out, upon exploding, a number of small halls containing a very efficient burning liquid. Six-gun batteries have been substituted for the formerly adopted two-gun battery. The Italian Army in September, 1916, had 16 batteries (4 guns to a battery) of anti-aircraft guns mounted on automobiles. The gun, made by Ansaldo & Co., is of 102 mm. caliber. It is reported that the number of these guns has since been increased. Illustration No. 1 shows an Italian flat car armed with two anti-aircraft guns. The three heavy brackets (B) are used to brace the car against recoil when the guns are fired. Before firing they are swung out at right angles to the car on the side away from the gun direction and a heavy, threaded, steel rod is screwed down through the band (a) until its lower end presses firmly against a truncated pyramidal block (b), which is placed on the ground to receive it. To facilitate rapid adjustment a detachable wheel (c) is attached to the top of the screw rod. It is believed that these braces are used only in the case of firing the heavier (6-inch) guns. France. The main reliance of the French for defense against aircraft is their 75 mm. gun, model of 1897, which fires 25 shots a minute and has a recoil mechanism so perfect that it can be fired continuously without relaying. This gun is shown in illustrations 2, 3, 4, and 5, but the reports show that the mountings have been modified.
