This allows thecomplete finishing i i .I''lng of the liner before insertion into the tube',-where`as,l in .ktheir'sgolder methods usingv f shrinkage, the liners v ufstf be I'illed'y *after it inplace inthe tubedue to the distortion a :injurious eectsofheat'ing.

Although the method of welding 'may 'also be vapplied where the shrinkage operation is usedL the additional advantages obtained through securing the liner without resorting to the injurious heating of the-"shrinkage operation will beiiapparent to one skilled in the-art. Inthe welding operation the heat is applied locally and -close-to lthe weld 1s entirely negligible.
-Theobject `Vand''advantages 'of this inveny tion are attained by-applying thei'nethod as shown i'n a preferred form in the accom` panying drawing in which:
Figure 13, lisa view of a 'cannon partially broken Vaway* 'showing `the breech and Amuzzleendsin section.

Fig. 3, is a fraginental section of the muzzle end. l
'In thedrawing 'l is "the jacket' vof a cannOn and is the tube. Liner 3 is preferably pressedfinto Vposition in tube l2,bu`t'shrinka"ge can be used.

While electric welding is the preferred f i means forsecuring the liner 1n place, 1t 1s to be understood` that any form of Welding 'or permanently securing tlieliner in place and against creeping may be resorted to withoutgdeparting from the scope of the invention. f
Having shown and described an embodiment of the preferred form of iny invention, I claim:
l. The method of securing semifinished liners 4iii-cannon by welding. 2. The method of securing nished an rifled liners in cannon by welding at 'the breech end.
3. The method of securing finished and riled liners Ain cannon by welding at the muzzle end. l
4. The method of securing finished and rifled liners Vin cannon by' welcling"at"the breech and muzzle ends. d
5. The method= of securing 'liners in cannon b a welding heat'locally applied.
6. 'yhe method' ofsecuring liners in cannon by electric welding.
7. The method'ofsecuring liners in'can-V non, which consists in first placing the liner, in an unheated condition, in thecannon, and thenapplying a welding heat to 'weld `the same to the cannon,
8. The 'method of securing "liners in cannon, which consists in first lpressing lthe liner into place inthe cannon tube, and" then applying a 'welding heat to weld the liner to the tube.
