Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a piece of ordnance mounted upon a wheeled split trail carriage of known type in which the two I trails are pivoted to the headplate of the gun f carriage upon which the top carriage carrying-the gun is pivotally mounted, the said head plate being itself pivoted to the axle by 'a' pivot extending at right angles to the latter.
  • an elastic susmeans of a leaf spring pivotally mounted at itscenter, through its clip, about thepivot provided between the head plate and axle, the ends of the said spring being each pivoted about one end of the axis, tothe other arm of which lever is, pivotally connected the corresponding wheel.
  • a device permitting this suspension to be 'made inoperative during firing comprises a system of two locking bolts 'displaceable by means of a commontransmission and adapted, as desired, to be made to engage in latch recesses formed upon one of the arms of the rocking levers to which the ends of the leaf spring are pivotally connected.
