Abstract

559,371. Fortifications. EDWARDS, R. V. Aug. 6, 1942, No. 11021. [Class 20 (i)] A reinforced concrete pill-box comprises a circular wall 2 erected in situ on a concrete base 1 and a mushroom-shaped reinforced concrete hood 3 spaced from the upper edge of the wall and supported by a pillar or pillars 4 disposed within the confines of the wall so as to provide an uninterrupted circular field of fire 5. A single central pillar may be used or a number of pillars spaced around the centre, and in the case of a single pillar this may be provided with lateral wings to afford protection for the personnel against crossfire. The pillars may be of concrete or brick and the space between the wall and the hood may be closed by removable blocks 7 hinged to the upper edge of the wall. The entrance may be through an aperture in the wall or through a well 12 disposed in the centre of the hood. Machiolation 15 may be provided in the hood to allow a gun inside to be elevated for anti-aircraft operations. In a modification, Fig. 6, the inner edge of the wall is inclined and the machiolations 16 are provided in the upper edge of the wall.
