2. THE DIAL SIGHT AND CARRIER.

(1.) The No. 7 dial sight.

Thedial sight,when issued,is in correctadjustment,water-tight, and with all the cells and joints securedwith fixinigscrews.

It is very unlikely that the interior will require cleaning,and the dial sight must on no accountbe taken to pieces,exceptby aperson in possessionof an OrdnanceCollegecer-

- tificato statingthat ho is competentto do so.The body of the dial sight shouldbe cleanedwith a clean

soft cloth anda little oil, whichmust berubbedoff afterwards,care being taken that theglass is not touched. No grittysubstanceshould be used.

‘rho exterior of eye ic-mis and window should be cleaned~ with achamoisleatherspeciallykept for thepurpose. Gm-eat

3. THE BREECH MECHANISM.

(i) General precautions.

Time- breech mechanismsimommid be dismantledperiodicallyin orderthat it maybethoroughlycleaned.

The tlureadsof the breechscrewshould befree from burrs.Simomuld tinescrewnot work easilywhentheobturatorhasbeendetached,thedefectmay often be remediedby careful filingby an artilicer, but no portion of the thread should bo cutawayto m-enmove a crack.

Tine brecclm should be kept covered up when possible topreventdust and grit getting into the- breechfittings. Acoveris provided for this purpose.

Time obturating pad should be examined to se-c that thecanvascoveringis intactandin workingorder. If thecanvascoveris found to belooseor to overlapcitimerof tineprotectingdiscs, the obtumratorshould be- changed. -

Time sparepadshouldbe ide-lit undercompressionin theboxobtmurator.

The protecting discs should be care-frilly examined andsimould be re-placedif time steel rings are eroded, burred orcracked.

When fitting the pad and discs en time axial vent, caremust be taken that they are assembledin tine correct order.The face of time pad marked “ front” shouldbe towardstimemuzzle. One or more steeladjustingdiscs may be re-qumiredbetweentheobturator andtime face-of the breech screwwhen

The obturating pa(i should be a close- fit in time conedseating of the chamber wimen the breech is closed. Toascertainthis, lightly cover time- seatingwitim a mixture- ofoil and tallow; closeandopenthe breech; time outerend oftine padsimouidbe coveredwithm gm-easefromn contact with tinegreasedseatingof time chamber. If it is found that the pad(lees not fit time scatimmg closely, atijusting discs sinould bemudded until the bmcc-cim closes with sommne difficulty. Timebreech shommld then be opened and closed until it workseasily. -Bc-fore misc, tine- pad mmd disc sinouid be well coveredwith tallow,

Every oppom-timnity shmommlti be take-mi to keep the obturatormind axial vent cool. This can be done- i)y pouring waterover it in position, or by sousingit tinorougimlywith a spongeclotlm duringor after firing.rrlle obturatorsinoulti neverbethismantledwhenhot.

4. RECUPERATOR AND BUFFER.

General precautions.

(1.) Before tiring.Care should be taken to see tlnuit tIne recuperatom-amid

It is necessaryto strainthe oil beforechargingthe re-cu.peratoror buffer.

During severe- weather, re-cope-ratersand buffers shouldbeprotectedasnmucim aspossible-from time cold.

5. THE RECUPERATOR.(1.) Generalprecautions. -

Before removing the re-cuperator cotter the apparatussecuringthe re-cuperatorrain must befixed.

The gun must never be fired if the anmount of leakageindicatedby thetail rod exceeds8 pints, or if theair pressureis below350 lbs. a sq. in.

afteractionmamid closevalveA to preventdirt andgrit enteringtime cylinder wincmm standing. Open again wine-n punttingthepunmmp into action and set the sight feed lubricator to giveeig!mt drips per minute.

Before chargingtherecuperatorit is advisableto test thepump systenm as follows :—Close the air chmargimig valve ofthe re-cupe-rater. Work time- PUiiiP slowly until the gaugeregisters500 lbs. per sq.in. If tine systemis in good worlcingorderthe gaugehamid should remain stationary,or emily cmecpbacic very slowly. Should time inammd fall back quicicly thesystem shouldbe e-xauninedfor externalfaults. Faultsmaybe- located by smearing wimeel gm-easeover time joints ; airbubble-swill beobservedwheretimere is a leak. -

Greatcareshould be exercisedin usimig the gauge. Whentakimmg or releasingpressurethevalveshouldbeopenedgentlyin orderto preventdamageto the- gauge. -

If the pumponly give-s20 lbs. pressure,valvesB andC arefaulty. If the pump only gives 200 lbs. pressurevalve Dis faulty. If no air is delivered valve A is faulty. If the -

valve-sareprove-ti to be in order, look to thepackingrings of -

time piston. In thee-ventof valve P going out of order,andno spare-sbeinga~ailabbe,replaceit with valve B ; valve Cshouldnot be usedfor tlmis purpose. -

If neccssarythe- valves should be lightly ground in andcoatedwith thin oil.
