` CAR.
i To cl2 v'inkom it may concern:
' f Be itknown that I, AUGUSTUS SMITH, a
citizen ofthe United States of America, and
` residing `at Roselle, in thecounty of Union and State of` New Jersey, have inventeda' certain `new and useful` Improvement in Cars, ofwhich the following is a specication. e y l y My invention relates to cars and particularly` to an ordnance car, the special ob] ect of my invention beingto providea magazine p endofmy improved car utilized as a magacaradapted to serve a coast defense rifle of the type shown in my co-pendng application Serial No. 131,290, although it is to `be understood that the present car` has utilities` other than for the specic purpose mentioned andmy invention is not limited to the utilization of the car for ordnance purposes.;
In the accompanying more or less diagrammatic drawings, Y y
4Figure l is a sid elevation of the forward i zinecar and in position to serve a coast de- `fenseriie the breech end of which is shown a box freight car,
in this view;
`Figure 2 is a plan view of the same showi ing the car and riiie ona track the curve of which is to the left; Y
Fig. 3 `is a similarview showing the track 'curving to the right;
FigA isan end elevation of the car showing the platforms at the car `doors lowered intoposition for putting out ammunition; Fig. 5 is a plan of the forward end of the car showing the adjustability of themovable telpher rail to various track ourvatures; and
Fig. 6 is a similar view drawn to a larger scale.
"The car 10, here shown as a magazine car for :serving a coast defense rifle, resembles throughout and having doors 11 in the sides of the same as a standard box freight car, in
front of which platforms 12 and 13 (Fig.
42),. can fbe swung down `when desired to hold llammunition as itis put out fromthe car.
"Thegun `14 is mounted on a gun carriage 15 movingon the same track 16 as the car lOand thetrackmay be presumed to be ai' standard gage railway track. Immediately behind the breech of the gun, when the gun is in the horizontal or loading position,
`is atray 17 supported on a framework 18,
extending from the gun carriage, in which operates a rammer 19 for forcing the ammunition from, the tray into the combustion preferably built of steel Specication of Letters Patent. Patented May 28s 1918, i Application filed February 27, 1917. Serial No. 151,383.
chamber of the gun in order to load it. The
axis of the loading trayl is in the prolongation of the axis ofthe bore of the gun. Y f
Above the car 10 are carried telpher tracks 2O` and 21 supported by a suitable framework 22 attached to the roof of the car, onwhich ttracks a main trolley or telpher 23 operates to lift the ammunition from the loading platforms 12 and 13 at the doorof the car and thento' transport and lower the ammunition" onto the loading tray `17 at the` breech of the gun. The xed telpher tracks 2O and `21 supported from the roof of the carj are continued beyond the end of the car over the.
space between the ycar and the p gun, 1carriage bymeans ofthe extension track 2 4, which is supported on a vertical axis 25 sothat it lcan form a continuation of track 20, as shown in, Fig. 2, when the operating curve turnspto.-
suoli as a gasolcne engine diagrammatically indicated at 27 driving an electric motor 28 or air compressor 29, or both. The car may also have locomotive means 30 on one or more of its axles so that it can be driven by means of the above'mentioned power within itself or by some extraneous source of power.
The car may also be equipped at the ends with standard car couplersBl for convenient Y movement in trains with othercars behind a locomotive. To accomplish the handling of the car in trains with other cars it will be `understood that the framework 22 and` telpher track supported thereon will be bolted or pinned together at 32 so it can be readily taken down or be collapsible in some way so as to reduce the clearance required bythe car to the clearance available on ordinary railroads.`
The, feature that I desire especially to emphasize, however, is the combination of a car withthree pieces of telpher track supported over it in such a way thattwo pieces such as 20 and 21 are rigidly secured when in operation over opposite sides of the car and a third piece, such as 24:, is `mounted so thatit `can beconnected with either of therigid pieces 20 or 21 according as the curveon which the car operates turns to theright or to the ing a loading tray at the breech thereof, a In testimony whereof I have signed `my novel magazine ear having fixed lateral teiname `to this specification, in the presence 10 plertracksnc ai; adjustable eteniotn therlof two subscribing Witnesses.
