Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1877 edition. Excerpt: ... one step to another when mounted on muzzle pivoting carriages (vide Treatise R.C.D., 1874, p. 119). 4 The first correction is thus made: --The captain of the turret observes how many degrees above or below zero are given by the hind turret sight when laying on the object; this number of degrees is added to or taken from the proper elevation given by the wood scale as follows: --The position of the clamp on the wood scale is not altered, but the pointer on the clamp is applied to the given number of degrees above or below zero on the heel scale marked on the cascable. The second correction is made by means of a simple arrangement in the wood scale, so that the latter can be shortened or lengthened to correspond to the height through which the gun is lowered or lifted when placed on the several steps. 2. Moncrieff Sights. In addition to the ordinary sights, two special sighting arrangements are employed with guns mounted upon Moncrieff carriages. (1.) That used with 7-inch guns mounted on Moncrieff carriages, Mark I., consists of a skeleton gun metal bracket secured by screws to the trunnion ring; the sight-notch is a small V-shaped pin of metal sliding up or down in the skeleton fore sight frame, and clamped by a thumbscrew, and the graduation is in yards. To elevate the gun the V must be, of course, lowered. The hind sight is a mirror in a gun metal bracket screwed to the top of the gun, near the breech end, as shown in Fig. below: 7-inch gun carriage, Mark I. Description of sight A gun metal tube with a button at the lower end slides in and out of a socket in the scale, the button resting on a small plate secured to the bottom plate of the carriage. The woodcut shows the service position of the sights when finally adjusted on this.
