GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

I’ractical instruction in the equipmentshould ho given toeachrecruit beforeany attempt is made to instruct him ingun drill. ‘l’his imistructionshould takethe forni of demon.

strations dealing with the work of each flUlflbei’ in thedetachment; and all menunder instruction should, in turn,carry out thework of eachparticularnumber.

Instruction in gun drill should begin as soon as they areconversantwith all parts of the equipntent,and can handlein the bestand quickestmannereachof theworkingpartsofthegun. Oncethework of eachnumber hasbeenthoroughlymastered,it should not take long for the recruit to learn theactual drill.

it is illOSt important that a markeddistinction should bedrawn betweeninstruction anddrill.

During the former the languageusedsilould be as sinipieas possible,-and the meaningof all technicaltermswhich arcnecessarymnust be carefully explained. A conversationaltoneshouldbe adoptedand underno circumstanceswhatevershould anythimig in the natureof long quotationsfrom drillbooks be allowed. The menshould be permittedto assumean easy attitude and their interest should not be allowedto flag. They should beencouragedto askquestions.

At drill, on the contrary, rigid discipline must be main-tRilled, ordersmaustbeclearanddecisiveandtho detachmentsmadeto work steadily, smartly and rapidly. At the sametime the utmnostaccuracyis essentialamidanydeviationsfromthe methodslaid down mustat once bechecked.

4. THE BREECH MECHANISM.

i. General precautions.The breechmechanismshould be dismantled periodically

im-m- orderthat it may be tlmorougimiy cleaned.The threadsof time breechscrewsim-otm-id be fm-ce from burrs.

Simould tim-c screw not work casiiy when the obturator imasbeem-m- detacimed,tim-u defect m-nay often be rem-mmediedby eax-efm-mlfiling by an artificer, but no portion~ofthe threadsimould becut away to removea crack.

The brcee-im- should be kept covered tm-p when possible toprevent dust and grit getting into time breech fittings. Acoveris providedfor this purpose.

The obturating pad should be examined to seethat thecanvascoveringis ium-tactand ium working order. If thecanvascoveris found to be looseor to overlapeitherof time protectingdiscs, the obturatorsim-om-mid becimanged.

The sparepad simould be kept under compressionin thebox obturator.

55

The protecting discs simould be carefm-mlly examined andshould bo replacedif tim-c steel rings are eroded, burred orcracked. -

\Vimen fitting time pad am-md discs emm the axial vent, caremustbe taken tim-at timey arc assembledin time correct em-der.The face of time pad marked “front” simould be towam-ds tim-c

—~ muzzle. One or more steel m-m-djtm-sting discs maybe required~ betweentheobturator andtime face of the breechscrewwimen~; tim-c pad is compressedby firing, but the obturator should

aiways turn freely.~ Tlmc obturating pad should be a close fit in time coned

seatingof thecimaunber when time breecim- is closed. To ascer-tam tim-is, lightly cover theseatingwith a mixture of oil and

~ tallow; closeandopenthebreech; theouterendof thepadshould becoveredwith greasefrom contactwitim- the greasedseatingof time chamm-mbcr. If it is foum-m-d tim-at thepad does not

fit the seatingclosely, adjustingdiscs sim-euldbe addeduntiltime breecim closes with sonic difficulty. ~uiiebreecimsim-ouldtim-en be openedand closeduntil it worlcs easily. B-fom--e tm-se,

tim-c pad and discaim-em-midbe well covem--ed with tallow.Every opportunity should be taken to keepthe obt’m-mrator

am-md axial vent cool. Tim-is can be done by pouring walerover it in position, or by sousim-m-g it thorougim-ly with a spom-m-gccloth duringor after firing.

The obturatorshould never bedismantledwlmen hot.When anew padis fitted, it mustbeexpandedwith a full

8. THE AIR PUMP.

A dust cover and two lifting bars are provided with thepump. The covermust be kept on whenthe punup is notin use.

Before charging the recuperator it is advisable to test the

If necessary,the valves should be lightly ground in andcoatedwitim- thin oil. --
