Abstract

590,271. Gun carriages. BURNEY, SIR C. D. Jan. 1, 1943, No. 11. [Class 92 (i)] A field carriage for a non-recoil gun, such as the gun described in Specification 586,749, has the gun barrel 1 trunnioned on a vertical pivot 5 in proximity to the wheels 7 for firing over a false trail 2, the centre of gravity of the barrel lying between the muzzle m and the vertical pivot 5. Further, the whole assembly, after strapping the barrel to the trail by a fastening 15, is adapted to be slung like a torpedo beneath an aircraft for dropping therefrom after releasing clamps arranged round the barrel. After dropping, a spade-like member 19 engages the ground and through linkage 20 operates the wheel brakes to stop the carriage. Landing shocks are taken by the suspension springs 8. To facilitate all-round training, a hinged flap 12 is provided on the shield 11. The wheels may be turned to provide shields for the gunner who operates the elevating gear 9 and the training gear 10.
