Definitions

  • ordnance recoil' and run-out apparatus of the kind employin'g a p'n'eumatic reuperator the interier of which 'does not communicate with the' inte- 6 rior of the recoil cylinder so that *there is no transfer of liquid from; the re'coil 'cylinder to 'the recuperator cylinder during the recoil'of t he' un.
  • the air in the recuperator cylinder is compressed, during the 'reco'il of the gun, by the entry of a hollow ram into the firecuperator cylinder, this ram i preferabl having V a rod which passes through t e end of the said recuperator cylinder.
  • This cylinder is prefe'rably attached to the gunso as to recoiltherewith ;and the hollow ram is held stationary during' the recoil and run-out movements of the gun bythe rod which 'is' attached at ⁇ 'its front end to the front cap of the gun Cradle.
  • a non-return Valve 'controlled by a spring may beprovided at the front end of the hollow raniso that on recoil of the gun a portion of the air from the' recuperator cylinder hollow ram g where fit is temporarily im- 'prisoned underpressure; the said valve has 'one or more small hole's formed therein'so as to ermit the 'compressed air imprisoned in the hollow ram to escape at a predetermined slow rate into .the recuper'ator 'cylinder during 'the runont of the gun in order to control the speed of lthe i'un out movement.
