GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.

Practicalinstructionin the equipmentshould be giventoeachrecruit before any attempt is madeto instruct him ingun drill.

In teachingthedutiesof eachmanat thegun,theinstructorshouldtry to do so by reasoningratherthanby alongexplana-tion in words. By meansof questionandanswerhe shouldtry to draw from the recruit thecorrectsolution as to hisduties,beingcarefulto leadthe man’smind into thedesiredchannelof thought. Shouldthis attemptfail, theinstructorshould give a demonstrationemphasizingthe points therecruit hasnot grasped. Such demonstrationsshould dealwith thework of each man in the detachment,and allmen under instruction should, in turn, carry out the workof eachparticularnumber.

Instructionin gundrill shouldbeginassoonasthemenareconversantwith all partsof the equipment,andcan handlein thebestand quickestmannereach of the working partsof the gun. Oncethe work of each numberhasbeentho-roughly mastered,it should not take long for a recruit tolearntheactualdrill.

It is most important that a markeddistinction shouldbedrawnbetweeninstructionanddrill.

During theformer thelanguageusedshould be as simpleas possible,andthe meaningof all technical terms whicharenecessarymustbe carefullyexplained. A conversationaltoneshouldbeadoptedandunderno circumstanceswhatevershould anything in thenature~9flong quotationfrom drill

Page 28: Gun Drill 6in BL Mark VII Gun

books be allowed. The men should be permittedto assumean easyattitude and their interest should not be allowed toflag. Theyshouldbeencouragedto askquestions.

At drill, on the contrary, rigid discipline must be main-tained,ordersroustbecleara-nddecisiveandthedetachmentsbo made to work steadily, smartly and rapidly. At thesametime thoutmostaccuracyis essentialandanydeviationsfrom themethodslaid downmustat oncebechecked.

It is advisabletimat a portion of thedi’ill shouldbesuchasto give instructionin firing at long ranges.

With certainguns the supply of ammunition is the mostdifficult andlaboriouspart of the serviceof theguns. Thiscan best be taught by meansof the “loading teachers”andthedummyammunitionsuppliedfor thepurpose.

1. On the orderfrom time 13.0. to “ Preparefor action,”the detachmentis movedinto the work, andhaltedin timeposition of “Detachment rear.” Rifles are placed in timearm racks,accoutrementsand jackets are removed,all gunfloor numbersremovetheir bootsand placethem undercoverandput on gun floor shinesandkneecaps. Tuedetachmentthenfalls in asbefore.

If more than onegun of a sectionis beingmanned, eachNo. 1 marcheshis detachmentto his gun as above, or tosuchotherconvenientposition under cover as time S.C. maydirect.

2. Time S.C. detailswhich detachmentwill be responsiblefor takingup SectionandBatterystores,andorders“ A SectionPrejmarefor Action,” the No. 1 marchesthedetachmenttothe storeand supervisestheissueof time storeslaid downforeachnumber.

17. DUTIES OF SECTION COMMANDER.

During the preparationof the guim for action, the S.C.personallyexaminesandgaugestheprotrusionof the strikersof all time locks (includingspare)in his section.- -

Noria—--’J’o gauge the profrusion of the striker. Disconnect the“ A “lead, remove time lockandappl?fthc ‘‘ gaugeprotrusionstriker.” Ascertain by inspection that the point of timestriker is central, and that there are no pieces of foreignmetal betweenthe point of the striker and the edge of thefiring hole.

With time lock still out but with time “ A “lead connectedto it, he teststime pistol grip and measuresthe voltageoftime circuit at the point of time striker with tho I.T.P.B. orvolt-ammotorwith thepistol grip in eachiof its threepositions,the No. I marking, in chalk time voltage obtained, on thoright sideof time gunwhenthe pistol grip is on theright side,on theleft side when the pistol grip is on theleft side,andonthe shieldwhenthepistol grip is in theCaseIII position.NOTE.—’--Shouldthe voltage be less than 1, the battery will be

testedcell by cell, and the-bad cell or cells made good, orremovedandreplacedbyfresh cells.

If eitherof the sights or the elevationindicator is reportedomit of adjustment, the S.C. supervisesits adjustmentanddatuming.

Gives orders to the ammunition numberswith regardto thearrangementanddisposalof cartridgesandprojectiles.

Supervisesthecheckingof rangeandtrainingdials.Time No. 1 sits his detachmentat easeandreportsto the

S.C. “A. 1. BoreClear—Readyto Load.”

18. INSPECTION BY SECTION COMMANDER.

The S.C. makessurethat the Recoil, Laying, Firing andAmmunitionarrang~mentsof thegunarecorrectby askingthenumbers,andby inspectionif necessary.

Ho thenorders2to closetime breechandopenit again. Tieexaminesthepadto seeif it fits correctly, whicim heascertainsby seeingif it is coveredall overwith tallow, andthenorders2to smearit with same.

He then orders 2 to insertan electrictube and close thebreech,andthe Layer to fire time tube by pullingtime trigger.The breechis then openedand the fired electric tubeextracted.

Ho then orders2 to presshome the extractor, cock thelock, start closing the breech,andwhen tim hook begins tomoveto insert a percussiontube, and therm finish closingthe breech. He next orders 3 to hook the lanyardandfirethe tube. After firing hedirects 3 to unhook and2 to drawbackthe L.B.M. just sufficiently to unmaskthe tube. Heexaminesthe tube,and if it hasnot beenstruck centrallyho adjuststhe lock by meansof time adjustablebmmslm of thecatchretainingL.BM. andordersanotherpercussiontube tobe fired.

The gun should be balanced asfor firing.

A layer will be stationedat thepistol grip to call “Fire,” or to ringabell (insertedin the circuit) at theword “On” from the layer undertest. The officer will order “Passranges.” After five or six rangeshave been called, the officer willorder“Gunfire—Fire.”

A numberstationedat time breechwill then give “Ready,” and thelayerundertestwill call “ On”whci~the gunis la-id.

“Ready” will subsequentlybecalled at intervals correspondingto time rate of fire of time gunused.

The above procedure will becarried out five times with ashortening range, and five timeswith a lengthening range. Withthe shorteningrange, the averageof the times from “ Ready“ to“On” must not exceed4 seconds,andwith thelengtheningrangemustnot exceed 6 seconds. The gunmust bedepressedeachtime throughat least 300 yards, and nmust beaccuratelylaid to within 10 yards,time layer allowing for the rate ofchangeof range.

iii. Checkingthe laying. The officer willnote if each lay be witimin 2~minutesfor line. A clinometcrwillbe kept on thegun, andtime Q.E.,after eacimlay, will becarefully readandnoted,but thegun layer shouldnotbetold theresultof anylayuntilho has finished. The sum oftheselays divided by the numberof them is theipeanlay. Thediffer-encebetweeneachlay andthemenuwill then be taken,andtime sum ofthesedifferences,irrespectiveof sign,divided by time numberof lays, isthe layer’s mean error along the gun.

With every auto-sighta “Tableof Angles“is issued,showingcorrcs•pondinganglesof Q.E. andof sigimt.Tf two anglesof Q.E. bechosen,oneon eachsideof time Q.Es.of time gunduring the test, andthe differencebetweenthem be taken and also

If the layer’s mean error bedivided by the figure expressingthisratio, the result will be the layer’s

macanerror along thesi~jht.Time difference in Q.E.betweenthe

layer’s meanlay andthe standardlay, divided by time ratio of move-ment, will give time layer’s differ.encefrom thestandardlayalongthesight. -

7. The bearing surfacesof sighting telescopesmust be verycarefully protected. Any burrs or dents on these surfacesthrowthe telescopeout of adjustment.

8. Telescopesmust not be takento pieces,nor the lensesremoved,nor adjustmentfor collimation attempted,exceptby a competentperson. Whennot in usethey should beclosedup, capsreplaced,andplaced in their cases. Theyshouldbekept in as dry a placeas possible.

3. Telescopesare issued, and should as a rule remaincorrectly-collimated. To test for collimation, the telescopeis placedin its holders,focussedandthen directedon a welldefinedobject not less than 400 yards distant. Wimen thetelescopeis turned round in its brackets, the tip of thepointershouldnot moveoff them point laid on. Careshouldbetakenthat, in carrying out this test,movementsof thegun arenotmistakenfor movementsof the pointer. Telescopesfoundincom-rect for collimation must be adjusted by a properlyqualified person. In some cases the brackets in whichtelescopesrest becomebent, and it may then be found thatthe telescopealters position whenits bracketsareclampedor unclamped. For procedurein time case of rocking barsightsqnd auto-sightsrespectively,seeSees.54 and 55.

Tho sight may be datummmcdat M.S.L. oil a datumpostby giving the i-equisitc Q.E. to the gun by clinomcter,andturning therangedrum of thesiglmt till thetelescopepointeris on thewater-line of tho datum. The rangedrum shouldthenroadthetruerangeto time datum. If it doesnot,adjustas in para. 1. This is themost satisfactoryadjustmentjimthe caseof bent telescopebrackets.

3, To testfor deflection, lay time gun on a distant mark,obtaining a line of sight through time axial vent (or firingholo busim) and theintersect-ionof two fine cordsstretchedon theaxis lines on the muzzle. The sight, with elevationanddeflection setat zero,should be on time samemark. Ifit is not, bringthesightonto time mark with the deflectiongearandadjustthereaderof thedeflectionscaleto zero.

55. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOfl TESTING ANDADJUSTING AUTO-SIGHTS.

1. Time auto-sightsof all guns will be testedannuallybyan inspectorof ordnancemacimineryor by an officer deputedspecially for that purposeby timo Superintendent,OrdnanceFactories. The tOsts will be sucim as areprescribedfor theoriginal setting up of tho siglmt, and,if necessary,the sightandcamwill bere-set. -

A testwill bemacicof all cams,whetherfor fuli or reducedcharges,or for aimning rifles.

2. Verticality of pivot andtrot-h of correctionalgearwillbe testedand, if necessary,adjusted,at time same time bytho sameofficer.

Page 90: Gun Drill 6in BL Mark VII Gun

A certificatefromthis officer thathehaspersonallysetupthe sight, and that it is in correct adjustment, will befurnishedto the garrison eommnander. An entry showingdate,andby whom tested,will be inadoon aform providedfor thepurpose.

Thesetestsshould be carriedout beforethe first seriesintheannualpracticeis fired fromthegun.

3. If the siglmts cannotbe set up true for all rangesupto theextremelimit of range,andthecamcannotconvenientlybereturnedto betruedat theArsenal, theI.O.M. will furnisha table showing time errors at each angle on time Woolwlchtable of angles. This table will be filed with time Woolwichtable of angles. In the caseof guns used solely for anti-torpedo-craftdefencethe limit of rangewill dependon theextent of theilluminatedarea.

4. Aftertesting,theeccentricsonthecarrierwill bepaintedover andwill on no accountbo tathperedwith, e~eeeptbyan I.O.M. or R.G.C.F.artificer.

With theabovetestsandadjustments,timo responsibilityof the LO.M. or time Royal Gun andCarriageFactory withregardto the sights ceases,exceptas regardssigimts whicimmay againrequireto besetup duringthe year.

5~Officers in chargeof guns areresponsiblefor thecareand preservation of thn sights,andfor suchtestsand adjust-mentsascan becarriedout without theassistanceof askilledartificer.

All officers should be able to carry out such tests,amid suclmadjustmentsasdonotrequirotbeassistanceof artilicers. Theeccentmiobush Q is the only eccentricwhich maybe mnovedwithout theassistanceof an artifleer.

6. Clinonmeters,lam-ge, simould be used for adjusting auto-sights. It is very important that theseshould bein perfectadjustmentand be provided with calibration sheets (see“CoastArtillery Training,Vol. I.,” Sec.116, 10. Whenplacingtime bar, testimmg sights, in the telescopebrackets,themarkson it and on the bracketsshould coincide, thus ensuringcorrectcrosslevel.

7. Time gunmust bebalancedas if loaded,andmustalwaysbe brought into position by a large sweepof depression(exceptin thecaseof thosegunswith whichthe lastmotionshould ho one of elevation); the latter rule mustalso beobservedwhenfiring.

In time caseof amountingwith sighting steps,it must be- balancedby keepingmen in thepositionsof the layersand

setterduring the test. -

8. When setting theerror-of-daydrum, both for testingandputting on corrections,thelast movement givenshouldbeoneof “add.”

When setting thetide-loverthe last movement should bein the direction of “fall.”

9. Cams will be changedas seldom as possible. Thisoperation may be performed under the supervisionoftimo S.C. Guns should, however,usuallybe fitted with thefull elmargocam, andin any casea full chargecam must befitted andtestedannually. -

Wheneverachangeis madefrom ono cam to another, andalways in preparingfor action, tho sights will be carefullytestedand adjustedby tho layersunderthesupervisionofthe S.C.

Unnecessaryadjustmentsof eccentricssimouid be carefullyavoided.

should return to the sameposition each time the gun isimalted. Time training of maximum tilt andtime amount thepivot is out of thevertical can be determined by this test.

2. Meansare providedwith certain guims for correctingthe sight independentlyof time rest of the mounting. - Withguns thus fitted, the bubbleof thespirit level on thecamshould conme to the samespot, no matter in what positionthe gun beimaltod.

An alternative test is to place a clinometer on a bar,testingsights,in time telescopebrackets andtraversethrough180°,haltingevery30°. Thegunshouldbebroughthorizontaleachtime, andtheangleof depressionof time sightsimouldthenalwaysbethesame. If rapidity benecessary,andtime pivotonly slightly out of trutim, tlmis testmaybemodified by givingthe gun extremeelevation; small movementsof thegun,dueto wantof level, wouldhavetimen an inappreciableeffecton time sigimt,andtimeelevationof time gunneednotbeattendedto (luringthetOst.

3. Adjustmentsfor verticality of pivot requiretime servicesof anartifleer.

57. MECHANICAL TEST WITH AUTO-SIGHTS.

1. If it be necessaryto miscauto-siglmtsbeforetime mountingcan berestoredto level, timis test simould becarried out in themiddle of time arc of fire. -

ii. Guns usedfor time defenceof narrow channels,theshapeof which makes big variations in rangeimpossible. -

iii. Gunsusedat night, when the rangeof the guns is- limited by thatof thelights. - -

iv. Anti-torpedo-craftguns. -

Whenthis methodis employed,therangeselectedfor thetestmustbeapproximatelytime sameas thetestrange.

It roust be clearly understoodthat thealterationof timeWooiwich table of angles makes the sight inaccurateatnil rangesother than timose near the test range,-and that;therefore,this methodmust bestrictly limited to gunswhichwill use the auto-sight under only the conditions givenabove. -

58. TEST OF ZERO OF DEFLECTION SCALE OF- AUTO-SIGHTS.

I. In time caseof guns fitted with rocking bar sights andauto-sights,theformeris testedfor lineasdescribedin Sec.48,andthe latter is then checkedagainstit by laying with theauto-sighton adistinctmarkon thewaler. If thedeflectionscalesof the two sigimts do not now readalike, that of timeammto.siglmtmust homadeto agreewith thatof time rockingbarsight.

2. Wimen guns havo auto-sightsonly, the sigimt must betestedwith them boreof thegun,but tho markmustbe nearenoughto allow both gun andsigimt to be laid on it for alineand to eliminate most of thedrift correctionwhich is auto-maticallyappliedonthesiglmt.

- 59. TO DATUM THE AUTO-SIGHT. -

1. It is desirableto haveafalsedatunmmarkto whichtheangleof depressionis thesamoas thatof the test rangeatmean sea level. -

A falsedatummarkis generallypreferableto a water-linedatumwhendatumingauto-sights,astheoperationcanthenbe carriedout for mean sealevel at all statesof tide; alsoinaccuraciesduoto wavesanneliminated.

Such amark should not be less than 400 yards from timegun,sincethetelescopewould timen beoutfor parallax.

Failing this, anaturalmarkshouldbeselectedat a rangeasnearthetest rangeaspossible. -

sincecalibration, cimargo temperature,and, if necessary,forriseor fallof tide,andfor raisingM.P.I. -

All breechfittings should be on, ~lie1]andcartridgein timebore, and, witim 6-inch guns, all layers and setterson thesightingsteps;thusbalancingthegunexactlyasfor firing.

Set thetide-lover, test time clinomneterfor index error, andthenlay thegunattherequiredQ.E.,takingcaretimat thelastmotionis oneof depression. - -

If the tip of thepointer is now foundto be verynearlyonthedatummark,it shouldbebrougimtexactlyon by meansofthe error-of-daydrum or clicking indicator, takingcarethattime lastmotion is oneof “add.” -

If it is not verynearlyon, slackoff the locking nut of theeccentricbush Q, raisethepointerwell abovethedatummarkby turning theeccentricbushQ, andthenbringit downnearlyas far as themark; tighteningup thelocking nut will givethepointerafurthermotionof depression,but only constantpracticewill train alayerto judgetime final amountof depres-sion obtainedby tighteningup time locking nut.

3. After adjustingthesight, thelayermust lay, the gunatleastthreetimesby theauto-sight. If thebubbleof theelino-meter,setto time requiredQ.E., comescentraleachtime, thesight is satisfactorilydatumed.

If thebubbledoesnotcomecentraleachtime,adjustontheerror-of-daydrum or clicking indicator,and againtry thethreelays. -

Not till threeconsecutivelays arocorrectcan thesight besaidto beproperlydatumed.

4. In datumning, errors of collimation are automaticallycorrected. Oncethesight hasbeendatunied,thetelescopemusten no accountbe simifted in time Y brackets; if it is

Page 97: Gun Drill 6in BL Mark VII Gun

77

movedat all, aconsiderableerrormaybe introduced, due toworn Y brackets,worntelescopebearings,or both.

5. To determinetime po8itionfor timefalse datummarA,.—Cal.culatethe depressionanglefor the test range(Gee Sec. 57),taking into considerationtheheight of the axis of time teles-copeabove thetrunnions, andthe necessarycorrectionforcurvatureandrefraction. Seethattime pivot of themountingis vertical,andthat thetelescopeis in correctadjustmentforcollimation andparallax. Setthesightto theabovedepres-sion angle, traverseon to some object, and paint a marktimercon in line with time pointer of timo telescope. If nonaturalobjectis availableapostshouldhoerected.

A convenient mark may be used, should one exist ap-proximately in line with thepointerof thetelescope,but inthis casethe range-correspondingto thedepressionangletotimis markmustbecalculated (see “Coast Artillery Training,Vol. I., 1921,” See.221).

In selectinga position for a falsedatum caresimould betakenthat thereis no ground,such as sand,&-c., betweenthe gun andthemark, which might causevariationsin re-fraction.

60. TEST FOR BACKLASH.

1. The sigimt should occasionallybe testedby bringing itto a certainangIe, first by a wide sweepof depression,andthen by awide sweepof elevation,andnoting the differencebetweentime readingsof theclinometeron thu gun on eachoccasion. This slmouid be done at anglescorrespondingtothreeor nmorewidely differentranges.

2. When a considerablediscrepancyis found betweenreadings,the sight requires ovcrimauling. Timis will most

Page 98: Gun Drill 6in BL Mark VII Gun

78

frequentlyoccurwith combinedsights. Thesesightsrequire

testing,both asauto-sightsandrockingbarsight-s.

61. TESTS, &c., FOR VERTICALITY OF PIVOTWITH ELEVATION INDICATOR.

1. Verticality of pivotshouldbetestedasin Sec.56, 1.2. Since them elevationindicator indicatesthe elevation

of thegun relatively to themounting,it follows that anyinclination of thelatter will causean equalangularerror inquadrantelevation. Time errorwill be— or + accordingasthetilt of theamountingis to time front orrear.

3. Thepropercorrectioncanbeappliedat anyonetrainingas follows :—Lay the gun by clinometerat the Q.E. for aselectedrange, andadjust the elevationindicator to readtheproperrange. This adjustmentshould be madeat thetraining wherethereis no tilt, or at what is consideredthemostimportant trainingin theareof fire as decidedlocaliy,and theelevationindicator should alwaysbe testedat thesametraining.

4. For further considerationof the effect of tilt andcor-rections required, see “ Coast Artillery Training, Vol. I.,1921,” Sec.207.

4. Whengunshaveto bekept loaded,boresare not to belubricatedor wipedout fromthemuzzleasaringof lubricantmaybeleft at theextremepoint reachedandthis maycatisea premature.

Gunsare to be unloadedonceamonth, so that boresmaybe cleaned and prevented from rusting..

5. Clinometerplanesmustnot becleanedwith anyabrasivematerial.

6. As a generalrule all B.L. and Q.F. guns under6 inchcalibre, when mountedin exposedpositionsandnot in fre-quentuse,will havemmli fittings removed.

Fittings will be kept in store, the steel portions beingcoveredwith mineral jelly.

Fittingsremainingwith thegunswill betreatedin asimilarmanner.

In the case-of guns usedfor drill and practiceall fittingsmust be kept free from dust andgrit and all working partssvell lubricated.

63. MOUNTINGS.

1. When mountingsare beingoverhauled, all parts of aportablenature which are not requiredfor time imnniediatecontinuation of time work should be’placedin flme artillerystore,or otimersuitableplace,for safecustody.

2. A timorougim cleaningandlubricatingof all working partsmust takeplaceat leastoncea. montim. All grease must beremoved,if necessaryby scraping,theparts being wiped cleanand then freshly greased.

it is not absolutelynecessaryto usea shell, hut, the effectof the explosion is therebyincreased, -

Other high explosivesmay be used instead of guncotton,but iii somecasesspecialprecautionshaveto be taken e.g.,dynamite is often frozen, andmust be carefully andslowlytimawed before being used. This should be done in “panwarmingdynamite”; if suchbe not availablethe dynamitesimould beplacedin a watertighttin andsurroundedby warmwateruntil thawed.
