In bad weather it is kept hooked, bowsed taut, and the end +expended through the ring-bolt and round the arms of the rear axle.</p> + +<p>The manner of housing guns, mounted on truck-carriages, on other +decks, in bad weather, does not vary materially from that just +described, excepting that the upper half-ports and the port-bucklers +are put in and secured.</p> + +<p>When there are no housing-chocks the ordinary chocking-quoins may be +used as such. It will be an additional security to take off the rear +trucks, and to tighten the muzzle-lashing by raising the breech.</p> +<br /> +<br /> + +<h4>GENERAL REMARKS ON THE MANUAL EXERCISE.</h4> + +<p><a name="sect1_231" id="sect1_231"></a><span class="bb">231.</span> The exercise of the great guns has a double object: 1st, To teach +the crew all the details necessary to Load, Point, and Fire the gun; +2d, To develop their activity, intelligence, and muscular force.</p> + +<p>The principal object, the base of all this instruction, is loading and +pointing; too much care and attention cannot be devoted to obtain +exactitude in all the movements. There is a tendency to devote too +much time to such exercises as shifting carriages from side to side. +There is always sufficient time for these manœuvres. The most +important are the management of the rammer and sponge in loading and +the handspikes in pointing.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_232" id="sect1_232"></a><span class="bb">232.</span> At the time of reception on board, the crew may be considered as +made up of three classes: 1st, The Captains, Loaders, and Spongers of +guns, who may be considered as competently instructed in the manual; +2d, another part, who have had some instruction and are competent to +fill the secondary duties; 3d, The remainder, who are entirely +ignorant.</p> + +<p>The directions in the manual are more particularly devoted to the +instruction of a crew completely formed, omitting all the minor +details of position and exactness in the performance of the motions +under the different commands, which are to be supplied by the +Instructor. These details would break the connection of the several +commands, and increase the bulk of the work. The precepts of the +manual are not for self-instruction of the ignorant, but to produce a +uniform system of commands in the Instructors. The important point, is +to instruct the last two classes by gun's crews, and then by +divisions. This is accomplished by drilling the guns' crews +separately, until each man has acquired some facility in his +particular duties, and then selecting the most deficient for special +instruction, combining them as a gun's crew, in order not to uselessly +fatigue those who are already expert or readily acquire the drill. +Whenever a new order is to be executed, <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A_56" id="Page_A_56"></a>[56]</span>it should be first thoroughly +and minutely explained; and as soon as all have heard and appear to +understand, execute it. If not correctly performed, repeat the +explanation.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_233" id="sect1_233"></a><span class="bb">233.</span> When the individuals of each gun's crew have become well +acquainted with, and expert in the performance of their several +special duties, they are to be successively transferred, temporarily, +to the performance of the duties of some other station, until each man +shall have become acquainted with the special duties of every station +at the gun.</p> + +<p>In exercising each man of a gun's crew in the duties of all the other +men of that crew besides his own, it is to be done thus:</p> + +<p>The system supposes that, beginning with the 2d Captain to take the +place of the 1st Captain, the men are to be called to perform the +duties of the latter in a regular succession agreeably to the way they +are placed at the gun; i.e., after the 2d Captain, the 2d +Train-tackleman is to do the duties of Gun Captain; and so on all +round the gun. Each man is to fleet his position one remove or place, +in a direction "with the sun," so that instead of the interchange of +duties being confined to two individuals only, it is to extend to the +whole gun's crew. Thus, for instance, when the 2d Captain is called +upon to do the duties of 1st Captain, the latter, by moving one place +"with the sun," becomes the 1st Train-tackleman, the 1st +Train-tackleman the 1st Port-tackleman, and so on all around the gun +throughout the whole crew, the person at the muzzle of the gun on its +left side crossing over and taking the place of the one at the muzzle +on the right side. Next in order, the 2d Train-tackle. is required to +take the place of the 1st Captain, then the 2d Captain becomes 1st +Train-tackle., the 1st Captain the 1st Port-tackleman, the 2d +Port-tackleman the 2d Captain, and so on throughout.</p> + +<p>If it should be desired to take, at first, a man from the middle of +the crew of the gun, or even still further towards the muzzle, to do +the duties of 1st Captain, then it must be done under the supposition +that all the men preceding him in the order above mentioned have +already been exercised in those duties, and the men are then to take +their stands accordingly.</p> + +<p>After the guns' crews have been well trained by giving the words of +command, it will be expedient to exercise them without giving the +several detailed commands, by directing them to "load and fire!" At +this command the different individuals should, each in proper order of +time, silently perform his prescribed duties of sponging, loading, +running out, training, and pointing, the Captain of the gun regulating +the elevation and depression, by raising or lowering his hand, and by +holding it horizontally and steady when the gun is "well;" and in +pointing, by moving his hand to "right" or "left" as the gun requires +to be trained, and by bringing it down to his side when it is "well." +Before firing, he is to throw his hand well up as a signal for the men +to "drop tackles," and is to give the word "fire" when he pulls the +lock-string.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A_57" id="Page_A_57"></a>[57]</span>When casualties occur at the guns, the Captain of the gun will order +"close up," and then equalize the crew on each side. If the Powderman +is disabled the highest number takes his place.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_234" id="sect1_234"></a><span class="bb">234.</span> Whenever the crew of a gun becomes so greatly reduced in action +that men enough are not left to work the piece, it may be fired while +partially run in. In such case, however, the breeching should be +frapped forward of the carriage, the ends crossed under the muzzle or +otherwise arranged so as to keep the muzzle outside of the port; the +side-tackles left loose; the chocking-quoins placed square up against +the outer part of the front trucks; the train-tackle hauled taut, the +end of the fall passed through the train-bolt and well secured, and +wet swabs placed up against the forward part of the rear trucks and +sprinkled with sand or ashes. After three or four rounds the +train-tackle should be re-secured; the chocking-quoins will require +re-placing after each fire. The greatest possible care should be taken +to guard against accident from fire, and minimum charges of powder +used.</p> + +<p>Experiment proves that a gun may be fired in this manner without +injury to the ship's side or the breeching, and by three or four men.</p> + +<p>It must be apparent to every officer that both the rapidity and the +accuracy of fire to be obtained from guns in vessels at sea, must +depend, in a great degree, upon the care which may be taken to explain +to the men the best mode of performing their respective parts of the +exercise, and the particular object for which each part is intended, +and especially on such frequency of exercise and target-firing as will +make the men perfectly familiar with their prescribed duties. The +importance of this instruction, which may decide whether an action +shall result in victory or defeat, will, it is hoped, insure due +attention to it from all officers, and especially from the officers of +divisions at quarters.</p> +<br /> +<br /> + +<h4><span class="scfake">THE GUNS ON ONE SIDE BEING MANNED,</span><br /> +TO CHANGE SIDES,<br /> +<span class="scfake">OR BOTH SIDES BEING MANNED,</span><br /> +TO MAN ONE SIDE ONLY;<br /> +<span class="scfake">COMMAND.<br /> +"MAN THE STARBOARD (OR PORT) GUNS!"</span></h4> + +<p><a name="sect1_235" id="sect1_235"></a><span class="bb">235.</span> Whenever this or any other order is given which requires all the +men suddenly to leave the gun which they are working, they are not to +do so until it is properly loaded, and well secured by hauling taut +the side and train tackles, and hitching their falls around the straps +of the inner blocks; nor on lower decks of ships-of-the-line till the +ports are down and secured by their lanyards. A strict compliance with +this injunction is indispensable to guard against excessive or +imperfect loading and other accidents.</p> + +<p>When these precautions have been duly taken, the men will shift over +in obedience to the command.</p> +<br /> +<br /> + +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A_58" id="Page_A_58"></a>[58]</span> +<h4>EXERCISE OF BROADSIDE-GUNS,<br /> +ON BOTH SIDES AT ONCE, BY MANNING ALTERNATE GUNS WITH FULL CREWS.</h4> + +<p><a name="sect1_236" id="sect1_236"></a><span class="bb">236.</span> In the event of being required to fight both sides, it is +generally conceded that a more effective fire is maintained by +handling alternate guns with full crews.</p> + +<p>In this case the preparatory order will be given:</p> + +<p class="cen scfake">"SILENCE! MAN BOTH SIDES, EVERY OTHER GUN WITH FULL CREWS."</p> + +<p>Upon which the guns' crews of the guns of the starboard watch will man +the odd-numbered guns on the starboard side, and the guns' crews of +the port watch will man the even-numbered guns on the port side, and +the exercise will be the same as prescribed for "broadside guns on one +side only."</p> +<br /> +<br /> + + +<h4>MANNING ALL THE GUNS.</h4> + +<h5>GENERAL REMARKS.</h5> + +<p><a name="sect1_237" id="sect1_237"></a><span class="bb">237.</span> Arrangements have been made to enable each gun's crew to work +together and fire alternately a pair of guns on the same side of the +deck. Experience, however, shows that this can only be continued with +effect for three or four rounds, and is in general results inferior to +those obtained by manning alternate guns with full crews.</p> +<br /> +<br /> + +<h4>QUICK FIRING.</h4> + +<p><a name="sect1_238" id="sect1_238"></a><span class="bb">238.</span> The service of the guns consists, essentially, of two distinct +parts, pointing and loading. The first of these, pointing, cannot be +performed too carefully and methodically, and requires extreme +coolness and attention on the part of the Captain of the gun; loading, +on the contrary, cannot be executed with too much rapidity, provided +neither the safety of the gun nor of its crew be compromised.</p> + +<p>It is clear that if two hostile vessels meet equally matched in all +the ordinary points of equipment and preparation, and manned by crews +equally skilled in gunnery, the advantage will be in favor of the ship +that loads quickest; and should it happen that nicety of aim becomes a +matter of secondary importance, in consequence of the closeness of the +action, then, evidently, rapidity of fire will determine the affair.</p> + +<p>These considerations appear decisive, and every care should be taken +in the instruction of guns' crews, that pointing be executed with +deliberation, care, and method, and loading with all possible +dispatch. In order, therefore, to insure the great advantage of rapid +firing, officers are enjoined <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A_59" id="Page_A_59"></a>[59]</span>frequently to exercise the crews in +setting the cartridge, shot, and wad home together, in one motion, of +such guns as may be loaded in this manner, without inconvenience. This +is the case with all the guns, chambered as well as unchambered, +excepting the 8-inch shell-gun of 63 cwt. of patterns earlier than +1851; it is not recommended, however, to practise simultaneous loading +with guns of higher calibre, such as IX-inch and upwards, as nothing +will be gained by it in point of time.</p> + +<p>To prevent the shot from rolling on the tie of the cartridge and +jamming it, the end of the cartridge-bag, outside of the tie, should +be shortened as much as security will permit, unless it has been +specially prepared for this use, by stitching back the end in the form +of a cockade.</p> + +<p>With the view of affording the Loader a certain and independent means +of knowing when the whole load is really home, the handle of the +rammer should have a mark upon it, easily distinguishable either by +day or night, and this should be suited to the "ordinary firing" +charge of powder, due allowance being made for the others.</p> +<br /> +<br /> + +<p class="cen scfake">COMMAND.<br /> +"LOAD IN ONE MOTION!"</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_239" id="sect1_239"></a><span class="bb">239.</span> The Loader receives the cartridge and puts it in the gun, as +already described; he also receives the shell or shot and wad and +introduces them accordingly.</p> + +<p>As soon as the whole charge has been introduced, the Sponger and +Loader together thrust it down smartly with the rammer, as in ordinary +loading. When home, the men run the gun out as quickly as possible; +the Captain of the gun clears the vent, primes in running out, points +and fires in the usual manner, but as rapidly as is consistent with a +good aim, taking care that the muzzle is clear of the port-sill, and +on lower decks that the port is triced up clear of the explosion.</p> +<br /> +<br /> + +<h4>SHIFTING BREECHINGS IN ACTION.</h4> + +<h5>COMMAND.</h5> + +<p class="cen scfake">"SPONGE, LOAD, AND SHIFT BREECHING!"</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_240" id="sect1_240"></a><span class="bb">240.</span> Supposing the gun's crew to be reduced to six men and the +Powder-boy, that being the least number required to perform the +evolution, and the gun to be discharged and run in. The Captain hauls +taut the train-tackle and chokes the luff, and the Loader and Sponger +place the chocking-quoins forward of the front trucks, and proceed to +sponge and load the gun in the usual manner. The 2d Sponger and 2d +Loader haul taut side-tackles and choke luffs, or, if rolling deep, +hitch the falls round the straps of the blocks, and then unshackle the +old breeching and shackle the new, which is to be brought to the gun +by the 2d Captain.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A_60" id="Page_A_60"></a>[60]</span>The Captain removes the old breeching from, and places and secures the +bight of the new one in the jaws of the cascabel, after the gun is +sponged. The 2d Captain passes the old breeching amidships, and the +men resume their usual duties at the gun.</p> + +<p>When there are more than six men at the gun, the 2d Sponger and 2d +Loader, after securing the side-tackle falls, will assist to load the +gun, and the additional men will assist in unshackling the old and +shackling the new breeching, but one of these will do all the duties +just assigned to the 1st Captain, so as not to interfere with his +ordinary duties in loading.</p> +<br /> +<br /> + +<h4>SHIFTING TRUCKS.</h4> + +<p><a name="sect1_241" id="sect1_241"></a><span class="bb">241.</span> The operation of shifting a truck can only be required when the +gun is "run in" after firing.

The level mark on the +quoin is to correspond with the end of the bed.

This mode of firing is to be preferred when the +object fired at is so near that the chances of hitting it are very +great, and also when the intervening surface between the gun and +object is so rough or irregular that a projectile striking it would +have its velocity much diminished or destroyed, and its direction +injuriously affected.</p> + +<p><span class="sc">Direct Firing</span> requires a good knowledge of distance, and precision +both of elevation and lateral direction, in order to strike an object +which is comparatively a point.

When the guns have very +little or no elevation, and are near the water, as they are in a +ship's battery, the projectile strikes the water at a very small +angle; its flight is not greatly retarded by the graze, and it rises +but little above the surface in its course.

Even a slight ripple will make a perceptible difference not +only in direction, but in range and penetration, and the height to +which the projectile will rise in its bounds.</p> + +<p>Although these facts demand attention, yet when the estimated distance +does not require an elevation of more than three degrees, projectiles +from guns pointed rather too low for direct firing will probably +ricochet and strike the object with effect, even when the water is +considerably rough.

The advantage of the +Pivot-Boss will now appear, as it secures the coincidence of the hole +in Slide with that of the Socket, and permits the Bolt to be removed +out or in easily.

For in order to pivot with the greatest ease, the carriage had +been previously run back on the Slide to the rear Hurter, so as to +bring the weight of the gun as near as possible to the Rear pivot, the +very best position being with the Trunnions of the Gun just forward of +the Rear pivot. The shackling of the Breeching and the removal of the +Bolt are, therefore, deferred until the Gun has been run out in the +subsequent proceedings.</p> + +<p class="noin">The Breeching is always to be shackled to the Ship's side—not to the +Slide, which needlessly strains the pivoting, and also causes the +shackle with its appliances to interfere with the working parts at the +forward end of the Slide.</p></div> + +<div class="footnote"><p class="noin"><a name="Footnote_16_16" id="Footnote_16_16"></a> +<a href="#FNanchor_16_16"><span class="label">[16]</span></a> It is generally expected that the Compressors are to +supersede the necessity for a Breeching. But experience shows that in +firing it is better to rely habitually on the Breeching, and use the +Compressors to assist. Thus, in firing to windward at Sea, the +Compressors are always to be set, but only so hard as may be required +to ease the shock on the Breeching. In firing to leeward, the +Compressors are not wanted, except to secure the gun in its place when +in. When the Ship is not steady, but rolling, the discretion is to be +exercised.</p> + +<p class="noin">The Preventer, or Inner Breeching, will be found indispensable to +avoid accident when running out to leeward in a sea-way. For with a +trained crew, and all precaution in handling the levers and +In-Tackles, there is a liability to the gun getting away, in which +case it moves out with great violence, and may do serious damage. On +one such occasion an XI-in. gun cracked the stout iron straps of the +Compressors, and seemed but just prevented from freeing itself +entirely and going overboard over the Port-sill. Not being able to +replace the Straps, the Compressors were useless till late in the +cruise. Preventer Breechings were then fitted, and answered so well +that the practice was continued at sea as usual. They now form part of +the equipment of all XI-in. guns, and should be just taut when the gun +is out, and the Trucks of the Carriage reach but do not ascend the +curve of the forward Hurter.</p></div> + +<div class="footnote"><p class="noin"><a name="Footnote_17_17" id="Footnote_17_17"></a> +<a href="#FNanchor_17_17"><span class="label">[17]</span></a> This is to detach from the bottom of the Chamber the +fragments of burnt Flannel that are apt to adhere and solidify.</p></div> + +<div class="footnote"><p class="noin"><a name="Footnote_18_18" id="Footnote_18_18"></a><a href="#FNanchor_18_18"> +<span class="label">[18]</span></a> This practice encumbers the deck, and interferes +materially at times with the management of the gun.

The projectile for +the rifled gun is to be usually ten times the weight of this +charge.<a name="FNanchor_38_38" id="FNanchor_38_38"></a><a href="#Footnote_38_38" class="fnanchor">[38]</a></p> + +<p><a name="sect1_388" id="sect1_388"></a><span class="bb">388.</span> To obtain greater initial velocity, projectiles of less than the +full weight have been provided—solid shot of 70 pounds for the +100-pounder, with the front end "chilled." Such projectiles, though +not suited for long ranges, will be effective at 1,000 yards or less, +and are well calculated to act against oblique surfaces of iron.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_389" id="sect1_389"></a><span class="bb">389.</span> The powder for the 100-pounder and 60-pounder should be of Rifle +(or, as formerly called, No. 7):—for the smaller calibres, 30-pounder +and 20-pounder, of Navy cannon powder. The cartridge-bags are the same +as those prescribed for similar calibres of smooth-bore guns.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_390" id="sect1_390"></a><span class="bb">390.</span> The Parrott guns have been arranged for the use of a certain kind +of projectile, supplied by the inventor. These have reference not only +to the calibre and mode of rifling, but to the design of the gun +itself. For these reasons, the inventor objects to the use of any +other than his own form of projectile in the guns of his invention. +This request has been acceded to in the heavier calibres. The shells +of Schenkl and Hotchkiss have also been used, however, in the smaller +calibres.</p> + +<p>It is not considered expedient to describe these projectiles, and it +is therefore directed that the Commander, Executive Officer, and +Gunner shall make themselves thoroughly acquainted with their +construction, and the percussion and time fuzes issued with them, +before sailing. The Ordnance Officer will furnish them with any +information on these subjects in his possession.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_391" id="sect1_391"></a><span class="bb">391.</span> The projectiles consist of shells, shrapnel, and solid shot. All +rifled projectiles used in the Navy are of the expanding class; that +is, forced into the grooves by the action of the charge of powder, and +require no other precautions in loading than common spherical shells.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_392" id="sect1_392"></a><span class="bb">392.</span> It is, however, essential—</p> + +<p>1st. That the base of every rifle-projectile, especially the Parrott, +shall be thickly greased before entering it into the gun.<a name="FNanchor_39_39" id="FNanchor_39_39"></a> +<a href="#Footnote_39_39" class="fnanchor">[39]</a> For this +purpose common pork slush, prepared by several washings in hot fresh +water, may be used.</p> + +<p>2d.

After firing, the bore should be oiled with a +sponge.</p> + +<p>The attention of Commanding Officers is especially called to this +requirement; and the Bureau desires that the action of Parrott's and +other rifle-projectiles fired under the above conditions, may be +carefully observed and reported; for it is believed that nearly all +the failures of projectiles in actual service result from the grooves +being filled, after a few rounds, with a hardened residuum of powder.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_393" id="sect1_393"></a><span class="bb">393.</span> It is also necessary that the shell shall be close home on the +powder, otherwise the necessary expansion will not take place, and the +shell will tumble immediately after leaving the gun, utterly +destroying its range and accuracy.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_394" id="sect1_394"></a><span class="bb">394.</span> In order to be certain that the projectile is properly home, the +rammer-handle must be marked to indicate it.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_395" id="sect1_395"></a><span class="bb">395.</span> It is very important that dirt, sand, or other foreign substances +should not be carried into the gun on the sponge or the projectile, or +by the wind in batteries on shore.</p> + +<p>In using guns on shore, a canvas muzzle-bag, a soft wad, or a light +stopper of wood, suggest themselves as means of security during the +interval between loading and firing the gun. The cover or stopper +might be removed, or left to be blown away at each discharge.</p> + +<p>The longer the interval above alluded to, and the higher the elevation +at which the gun is kept, the more important and necessary are these +precautions.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_396" id="sect1_396"></a><span class="bb">396.</span> Much care is taken to give the projectiles uniformity of size; +and if the powder is of suitable quality, those now supplied will +almost invariably take the grooves. Should difficulty in this respect, +however, be experienced, it may be remedied by separating the brass +ring from the iron at three or four points of the circumference. This +should be done with a cold chisel, very slightly, and so as not to +interfere with the loading. It is only necessary to sever the contact +of the two metals.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_397" id="sect1_397"></a><span class="bb">397.</span> As the projectile slides in the gun with very little friction, +particularly when greased, the gun should therefore be elevated and +eased out when firing to leeward, that the shot may not be started +from its seat. An experiment to test this, showed that running a +100-pounder out with the force of its crew against the forward hurter, +the gun being level, started the shot forward nearly two feet.</p> + +<p>Placing a grommet or other wad over elongated projectiles is +positively prohibited.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_398" id="sect1_398"></a><span class="bb">398.</span> The 100-pounder and 60-pounder guns being, respectively, of the +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A_104" id="Page_A_104"></a>[104]</span>calibres of the 32-pounder and 18-pounder spherical shot, and fired +with the same charges, these shot may be fired from them with +excellent effect, particularly on ricochet. The round shot should be +sewed up in canvas or felt, strapped to a sabot, or snaked between two +grommet-wads.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_399" id="sect1_399"></a><span class="bb">399.</span> Both percussion and time fuzes are supplied for these rifle-guns. +When the object to be fired at presents a sufficient resistance, such +as masses of timber or earth, ships, or solidly-built houses, the +percussion-fuzes alone should be used from rifled cannon. They will, +however, frequently fail to explode the shell at long ranges, owing to +the shell not striking on its apex; or, if fired into loose earth, +which checks its momentum too slowly to make the plunger strike with +sufficient force.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_400" id="sect1_400"></a><span class="bb">400.</span> It has been observed that time-fuzes burn with greater rapidity +in shell thrown from rifled cannon. Being in front, they are subjected +to greater pressure from the air. A similar effect is produced when +the fuze is confined under a water-cap, as in the naval time-fuze.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_401" id="sect1_401"></a><span class="bb">401.</span> The fuze-holes of the heavy shells are cast larger than the +diameter of the regular fuze-stocks of the navy, which can, however, +be used with the aid of a bouching or an adapting ring, always sent +with the shells.</p> + +<p>This bouching has heretofore been made of cast zinc. Others with a +flange and washer and the thread cut are now supplied, and the use of +the old rings is prohibited.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_402" id="sect1_402"></a><span class="bb">402.</span> If it be desired to explode the shell in front of or in the midst +of a body of troops, or after having penetrated some resisting +obstacle, the time-fuze should be used. This is the only fuze to be +used with shrapnel.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_403" id="sect1_403"></a><span class="bb">403.</span> The Vent is made in a bouching of pure copper screwed into the +gun. In the largest calibres the interior orifice is lined with +platinum.</p> + +<p>The upper portion of the copper in naval guns is replaced by steel, to +obtain a harder surface for receiving the blow of the hammer. The +steel is three-fourths (3/4) of an inch thick.</p> + +<p>A new vent can be readily put in, after getting out the old one, +without injury to the screw-thread. This can be done by boring out the +bouching with a drill, which leaves a thin shell containing the +thread. Into the hole thus made insert a square mandrel about four +inches, driving it lightly; by wrenching it, a portion of the shell of +the bouching can be detached and removed by unscrewing. This may be +repeated, and the whole of the old copper removed. The screw-thread is +then to be cleaned out, and the new vent-plug screwed in.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_404" id="sect1_404"></a><span class="bb">404.</span> <span class="sc">Sights</span>.—These consist of a fixed sight upon the right rimbase, +and a brass movable sight placed in a socket which is screwed into +the <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A_105" id="Page_A_105"></a>[105]</span>rear of the reinforce at the breech of the gun. The movable sight +is furnished with a sliding eye-piece, and is graduated up to 10°. The +eye-piece is also capable of lateral adjustment to allow for the drift +as far as 10°, and for the effect of the wind. It is desirable that +the sights should be placed on both sides of the breech; otherwise, in +firing from a port at extreme train, there is a considerable loss of +lateral aim. Furthermore, with the sight on the right rimbase, it is +not convenient for the 2d Captain to attend the screw without +interfering with the aim.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_405" id="sect1_405"></a><span class="bb">405.</span> These guns are all rifled to the right, by which it is understood +that the upper surface of the projectile is made to turn from left to +right, the observer looking from the breech towards the muzzle of the +gun.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_406" id="sect1_406"></a><span class="bb">406.</span> <span class="sc">Drift</span>.—This is a deviation caused by the direction of the +rifling, is always to the right when uninfluenced by the wind, and is +to be allowed for.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_407" id="sect1_407"></a><span class="bb">407.</span> The drift is in practice confounded with the deviation produced +by the direction and force of the wind, which may either annul or +increase it, according to whether it blows from right or left across +the line of fire. At long range it is also necessary to consider the +motion of the vessel across the line of fire. Suppose this to be at +the rate of six knots, and the gun is elevated 15°, the time of flight +would be by the Tables, 18 sec., while the deviation arising from this +cause would be upwards of 60 yards. It is therefore of great +importance that the Captain of the gun shall be carefully instructed +in making this adjustment of the eye-piece.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_408" id="sect1_408"></a><span class="bb">408.</span> <span class="sc">Elevating Screw</span>.—To obtain readily the changes of elevation +necessary in the use of rifled cannon, the heavier calibres are made +with very small preponderance, and are supplied with an elevating +screw which is attached to the carriage at the lower end, while the +nut is connected with the cascabel of the gun. Both screw and nut +admit of movements by which the screw can take any position required +in the various degrees of elevation. The parts should be allowed a +certain amount of play; if binding is prevented, it is believed that +the evident advantages of the screw may always be obtained.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_409" id="sect1_409"></a><span class="bb">409.</span> <span class="sc">Ranges and Time of Flight</span>.—So far as ascertained, are contained +in Table VII., Appendix B.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_410" id="sect1_410"></a><span class="bb">410.</span> <span class="sc">Precautions to be Observed</span>.—In the use of these rifled cannon, +it is of the utmost importance that all the directions relative to the +lubrication of the shell, its being close home, charge and kind of +powder used, and lining of the shells, shall be carefully observed.</p> + +<p>Many premature explosions of shells having taken place in these guns, +which are attributed to various causes, such as,—defects of metal, +porosity, <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A_106" id="Page_A_106"></a>[106]</span>faulty fuzes, concussion and friction of the powder within +the shell,—it is ordered that, on the occurrence of a premature +explosion or rupture of a shell within the gun, it shall be +immediately washed out and a careful examination made of the interior +of the bore, by the mirror and by taking impressions in wax (<i>see</i> +<a href="#Page_C_16">Mode of Taking Impressions, p. 16, Part III.</a>), and all the +circumstances of the case reported to the Bureau, specifying the kind +and calibre of the shells, kind of fuzes, the charge and kind of +powder, with its manufacturer's name: and,</p> + +<p class="noin"> +<span style="margin-left: 1.5em;">Were the shells filled completely, and with what kind of powder?</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1.5em;">Were the shells coated inside with any kind of composition?</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1.5em;">Are any cracks or marks of scoring visible in the bores?</span><br /> +</p> + +<p>In rifled cannon, cracks or injuries produced by firing, or the +rupture of shells, are to be sought for—thus,</p> + +<p class="noin"> +<span style="margin-left: 1.5em;">1.

Thus, in proving a gun at West Point, a +shell exploded in the gun at the second fire: on examination, no +traces of injury could be perceived; but, on a re-examination of the +gun after the tenth fire, a fine transverse crack was discovered in +the rear of the vent, extending two-thirds round the bore. It is +therefore important that frequent examinations shall be made, even if +no apparent injuries exist, as it is the opinion of the inventor of +the guns that the principal, if not the only cause of failure of these +guns in service, is due to the rupture of shells within the bore.</p> + +<p>Experiments have been made, and are still in progress, which appear to +show that these premature explosions may be to a great extent +obviated, if not altogether prevented, by lining or coating the rough +surface of the interior of the shell with a smooth and elastic +coating.</p> + +<p>All rifle-shells, except those for howitzers, before being issued for +service, shall therefore be lined or coated on the interior with a +mixture composed of—</p> + +<p class="noin"> +<span style="margin-left: 1.5em;">16 ounces of soap—common yellow, not salt-water soap.</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 2em;">7 ounces of tallow.</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 2em;">7 ounces of rosin.</span><br /> +</p> + +<p>The tallow should be melted first, then melt and add the rosin, and, +lastly, the soap, bringing the mass to a heat that will make it <i>very</i> +fluid.</p> + +<p>The shells having been first thoroughly cleaned, fill them about +one-third full of the composition, roll them slowly so as to spread +the mixture over the <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A_107" id="Page_A_107"></a>[107]</span>whole interior surface, and then pour off the +residue. This coating should be about five-hundredths (0.05) of an +inch in thickness, and is expected, from a series of experiments made +for the purpose, to prevent the premature explosion of shells in the +bores of rifled guns.</p> + +<p>The Bureau further directs that hereafter the charge of the +100-pounder, or 6.4 inch, Parrott rifle, shall be reduced to eight (8) +pounds of rifle, or No. 7 powder, and that only the short shell or +solid shot, not exceeding eighty (80) pounds weight, and spherical +projectiles, prepared as directed in the Circulars of February 24th +and July 6th, 1864, be used in this gun.</p> +<br /> +<br /> + +<p><a name="sect1_411" id="sect1_411"></a><span class="bb">411.</span> <span class="sc">Exterior Dimensions of Boxes Containing Parrott's Projectiles.</span></p> + +<div class="centered"> +<table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="75%" summary="Exterior Dimensions of Boxes Containing Parrott's Projectiles" style="border: solid 1pt black;"> + <tr> + <td class="tcb6" colspan="2"> </td> + <td class="tcb6" width="20%"><span class="sc">Long.</span></td> + <td class="tcb6" width="20%"><span class="sc">Wide.</span></td> + <td class="tcb6" width="20%"><span class="sc">High.</span></td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td class="tlbp7" width="30%"> </td> + <td class="tlbp8" width="10%"> </td> + <td class="tcbrl" style="border-top: 1px solid black;">Inches.</td> + <td class="tcbrl" style="border-top: 1px solid black;">Inches.</td> + <td class="tcbrl" style="border-top: 1px solid black;">Inches.</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td class="tlbp2">100-pounder, short</td> + <td class="tdrp" style="border-right: 1px solid black;">1</td> + <td class="tcbrl">18¾</td> + <td class="tcbrl">8¾</td> + <td class="tcbrl">8¾</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td class="tlbp2">60-pounder, short</td> + <td class="tdrp" style="border-right: 1px solid black;"> </td> + <td class="tcbrl"> </td> + <td class="tcbrl"> </td> + <td class="tcbrl"> </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td class="tlbp2">30-pounder, containing</td> + <td class="tdrp" style="border-right: 1px solid black;">10</td> + <td class="tcbrl">25¼</td> + <td class="tcbrl">11 </td> + <td class="tcbrl">15¾</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td class="tlbp2" style="border-bottom: 1px solid black;

+<h4>GETTING IN GUNS ON COVERED DECKS.</h4> + +<p><a name="sect1_504" id="sect1_504"></a><span class="bb">504.</span> After bracing the yard over the port through which it is intended +to take the guns, secure the lizard round the yard five or six feet +outside of the ship, and hook the top burtons just outside of the +lizard.</p> + +<p>Haul taut, and bring an equal strain on the burtons and lifts. Hook a +rolling-tackle on the opposite side of the yard, bowse it well taut, +and the trusses also, if they be of rope. Pass the end of the pendant +of the gun-purchase through the thimble of the lizard; take the end up +and make it fast round the top-mast, just above the lower cap. Have +the port lined with pine boards, to keep it from being chafed.</p> + +<p>Bore a hole in the deck or decks through which it is intended to pass +the garnet, as nearly as possible over the rear end of the +gun-carriage, and as near in line with the centre of the port into +which the guns are to come as the beams will allow. Pass the upper end +of the garnet through the hole, and turn in the thimble, to which hook +the pendant-tackle. Place a tackle across the deck ready for bowsing +the gun into its carriage through the port.</p> + +<p>Bring the gun under the yard and sling it as follows: place one bight +of the slings under the neck of the cascabel, and pass the lashing +which is attached to the slings round the chase, at such a distance +from the trunnions as will allow them to go into the trunnion-holes +without bringing too great a pressure of the slings against the upper +port-sill. Then toggle or hook the gun-purchase to the outer bight of +the slings, and sway away. When the breech of the gun is above the +port-sill, hook the garnet and the thwart-ship-tackle to the cascabel, +and bowse on both. When the slings bear hard on the upper port-sill, +lower the gun-purchase, and bowse on the garnet until the breech is +high enough for the trunnions to clear the cap-square bolts in the +carriage; then bowse on the thwart-ship-tackle until the trunnions are +over the trunnion-holes, lowering the purchase as required to bring +the gun into its place.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A_129" id="Page_A_129"></a>[129]</span>As each gun is mounted unhook the purchase and garnet, take off the +slings, run the carriage to its proper port, and place another for the +next gun.</p> +<br /> +<br /> + +<h4>TAKING IN GUNS OVER ALL.</h4> + +<p><a name="sect1_505" id="sect1_505"></a><span class="bb">505.</span> Sling the gun slightly breech-heavy, to render it more +manageable. If it is to be mounted on the spar-deck, place the +carriage in the gangway; if on the main-deck, close to the main +hatchway on that deck. In place of the garnet, hook the stay-purchase +for lowering the gun into its carriage.</p> +<br /> +<br /> + +<h4>GETTING OUT GUNS THROUGH PORTS.</h4> + +<p><a name="sect1_506" id="sect1_506"></a><span class="bb">506.</span> Secure the yard as in getting in guns, and sling the gun in the +same manner. Hook the garnet and haul it taut, so as to raise the +breech of the gun as much as the port-sill will permit; hook or toggle +the gun-purchase, and sway away. As soon as the trunnions are clear of +the carriage haul it from under the gun, ease away the garnet, and let +the gun go out the port. As soon as the gun is perpendicular to the +purchase, unhook the garnet and lower the gun into the lighter, or on +the wharf, as the case may be.</p> + +<p>If the gun is to be taken out over all, the stay-tackle is to be +substituted for the garnet, only it is to be hooked to the same end of +the slings as the gun-purchase, and the lashing on the slings is to be +passed around the chase of the gun, as near the trunnions as possible, +without being in the way of the brackets.</p> +<br /> +<br /> + +<h4>MANNER OF USING THE GRIOLET PURCHASE FOR DISMOUNTING OR MOUNTING GUNS +ON COVERED DECKS.</h4> + +<p><a name="sect1_507" id="sect1_507"></a><span class="bb">507.</span> In practice, guns are rarely shifted from one carriage to another +during action: it is only during a cessation of firing. While the +action is going on, the crew of a disabled gun are more usefully +employed in replacing the killed and wounded. Furthermore, spare +carriages are not so numerous as to permit this operation to be +performed frequently. Nevertheless, each gun's crew should be +thoroughly exercised, in order to develop their strength and skill.</p> + +<p><a name="sect1_508" id="sect1_508"></a><span class="bb">508.</span> The gun is to be run in, in the direction required to bring the +muzzle under the housing-bolt, and the breech under the hole bored in +the deck to receive the screw-bolt of the upper block of the +breech-purchase. This hole should be bored through the plank in the +deck, as nearly abreast the middle of the port as the beams will +allow, giving the block room to play clear of the beams and carlings.</p> + +<p>With a gun's crew of twelve men the operation may be performed as +follows:</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A_130" id="Page_A_130"></a>[130]</span>At the word "Stand by to dismount!" the Quarter-Gunner of the division +on the deck above that in which the gun is to be dismounted removes +the screw-tap, and stands ready to place the washer, key and un-key +the bolt of the breech-purchase block.</p> + +<p>All the numbers, except 1, 2, 3, and 4, man the train-tackle.</p> + +<p>No. 1 gives the word "Run in!"</p> + +<p>While the gun is coming in, Nos. 1 and 2 remove breeching from jaws of +cascabel, and 7 and 8 remove it from side-shackle. Nos. 1 and 2 throw +its bight over the reinforce. No. 1 removes sight-bar and screws up +the thumb-screw firmly.</p> + +<br /> + +<p>When the gun is in position—Nos. 1 and 2 adjust upper and lower block +of breech-purchase and secure the latter with the cascabel-pin. Nos. 3 +and 4 chock fore-trucks, provide muzzle-purchase, and, assisted if +necessary by 5 and 6, adjust its upper block. Nos. 5 and 6 unshackle +breeching from ship's side, and shove toggle-block of muzzle-purchase +into the bore and back it to the breech-purchase.</p> + +<p>Nos. 7 and 8 un-key and throw back cap-squares and choke luffs of +side-tackles, or, if rolling deeply, hitch them round the straps of +the blocks.</p> + +<p>Nos. 9 and 10 provide breech-purchase and assist 1 and 2 in adjusting +it.</p> + +<p>No. 11 chokes luff of train-tackle, or hitches it, if required; +provides and hooks tackle of muzzle-purchase; belays and lowers.</p> + +<p>No. 12 provides and hooks tackle of breech-purchase; belays and +lowers.</p> + +<p>These preparations made, all the numbers man the breech-tackle fall, +or divide themselves to bowse upon both falls together, as the +position of the gun in the battery may render either mode most +convenient.</p> + +<p>At the word "Dismount!" the gun is swayed out of the carriage.</p> + +<p>Nos. 3 and 4 attend chocking-quoins, and 11 attends train-tackle, if +required.</p> + +<p>All the numbers, excepting 11 and 12, who attend purchase-falls, move +up to their ordinary stations for serving the gun, unhook +side-tackles, and remove the old carriage, under the direction of No. +1: and—</p> + +<p>At the word "Mount!" the same men bring the new carriage into position +for mounting.</p> + +<p>At the word "Lower!" Nos. 11 and 12 lower the gun into its place; all +the numbers then proceed, respectively, to reverse what they had done +in dismounting.</p> + +<p>Guns on covered decks may also be dismounted by means of a +muzzle-lashing, the runner and the train-tackles, assisted by the +handspikes.</p> + +<p>The gun is run in and laid square under the housing-bolt, the bed and +quoin removed, the muzzle elevated and secured as in the housing +position; then, after un-keying and throwing back the cap-squares, the +breech is bowsed up clear of the carriage by means of the +train-tackle, hooked in the <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A_131" id="Page_A_131"></a>[131]</span>eye of a runner, the block of which hooks +in an eye-bolt in the beam over the gun. If preferred, this mode of +dismounting may be adopted by substituting the muzzle-lashing for the +toggle-block of the griolet, and toggling the runner-block in the hole +made in the deck for the breech-purchase of the griolet.</p> +<br /> +<br /> + +<h4>THROWING GUNS OVERBOARD.</h4> + +<p><a name="sect1_509" id="sect1_509"></a><span class="bb">509.</span> The gun's crew being assembled at Quarters, remove the pin and +chock from the cascabel, into the jaws of which place a selvagee +strap; hook the double block of the train-tackle into the housing-bolt +over the port, and its single block into the selvagee strap; remove +the cap-squares, and place a round block of wood on the sill of the +port, high enough to let the chase bear on it when slightly depressed; +raise the breech as much as possible, without lifting the gun out of +the carriage. When all is ready man the train-tackle well; have the +handspikemen also ready to assist in raising the breech; and if the +vessel is not rolling, it will be well to have additional handspikes +under the rear of the carriage to lift it also, so as to give free +egress to the gun. When all is ready, give the order: "All +together—launch!" In a gale of wind advantage should be taken of a +favorable roll to give the word, that the action of the sea and of the +men at the guns may be simultaneous.</p> + +<p>If the guns are to be thrown overboard for the purpose of lightening a +ship which is aground, they must be buoyed, and care is to be taken +that each buoy-rope is of a proper length and strong enough to weigh +the gun. The best mode of securing the buoy-rope to the gun is to form +a clinch or splice an eye in the end which goes over the cascabel, and +take a half-hitch with the bight around the chase of the gun, and stop +it with spun-yarn.</p> + +<p>The buoy must be sufficient to float the rope when saturated; or, in +deep water, a smaller line may be used for the buoy, and attached to +the rope intended for weighing the gun, that it may be hauled up when +wanted.</p> + + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<hr /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> + +<a name="Part_II" id="Part_II"></a> +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_B_1" id="Page_B_1"></a>[1]</span> +<h3>PART II.</h3> + +<h2>EQUIPMENT AND MANŒUVRE</h2> +<h4>OF</h4> +<h2>BOATS.</h2> +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_B_2" id="Page_B_2"></a>[2]</span> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<hr /> +<br /> + +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_B_3" id="Page_B_3"></a>[3]</span> +<h3>EQUIPMENT AND MANŒUVRE</h3> +<h5>OF</h5> +<h3>BOATS.</h3> + +<hr style='width: 15%;' /> + +<h3>EQUIPMENT OF BOATS.</h3> + +<h4>WHEN DIRECTED TO BE MANNED AND ARMED FOR SERVICE.</h4> +<br /> + +<p><a name="sect2_1" id="sect2_1"></a><span class="bb">1.</span> Boats must be provided according to the time of absence and nature +of the service they are to perform, keeping in view the details +prescribed in Table (Article 5).</p> + +<p>The number and class of Boat-Howitzers are assigned by the Bureau of +Ordnance.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_2" id="sect2_2"></a><span class="bb">2.</span> When boats manned and armed are ordered, the Officers detailed to +command them will see that they are thus furnished, and report when +the boats are ready.

An equally sure method, is merely +to lay a piece of untwilled woollen cloth over the vent, and press it +down with the hand; or else turn the lock on it, and hold that down.</p> + +<p>(b) Too much care cannot be used in sponging, as a premature explosion +endangers life and limb. A moist sponge is to be preferred, for +contact with it must surely extinguish every trace of fire in the +bore.</p> + +<p>It may be considered as a safeguard against accident, for during many +years' practice, in proving pieces and exercising the men to fire +rapidly—ordinarily, seven or eight times in a minute—not a single +instance of premature explosion has occurred.</p> + +<p>(c) The head of the fuze-composition must be guarded against moisture +from the fingers, rain, or spray of the sea; otherwise, there will be +a failure to ignite.</p> + +<p>(d) The ammunition is never to be struck with the rammer-head, but +pushed home, and with very moderate force; particularly omitting a +very common practice of forcing the charge after it reaches the bottom +of the bore. In pushing home the charge, No. 2 should always keep his +body at the side of the chase, and not before the muzzle.</p> + +<p>(e) It is not necessary to pierce the cartridge when +percussion-primers are used; their fire being always sufficient to +pass through it.</p> + +<p>(f) It is only necessary to give the compressors a turn, or a part of +a turn; this will relieve the nip completely, and time is saved +subsequently in compressing.</p> + +<p>(g) Some will take hold of the standard of the carriage-bed that +receives the loop of the piece, others of the breech or bed, as may be +convenient, to run out the gun.</p> + +<p>(h) In tightening the thumb-screw that holds the breech-sight in +position, do not turn it too hard; the thread may be stripped by +continuing to <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_B_16" id="Page_B_16"></a>[16]</span>do so. The sight may descend by the shock of the +discharge, but this is of no moment.</p> + +<p>In point-blank firing, the breech-sight is not required; the eye must +then range along the cylinder and muzzle-sight.</p> + +<p>(i) The charge may not be fired; if this arises from not properly +drawing the lock, it will be evident at sight, as the wafer of the +primer will not flash; in this case No. 2 throws back the lock.</p> + +<p>If the primer explodes without acting on the charge, care must be +taken not to approach the piece too soon, as it may only hang fire, +and the recoil will injure any one in the way of it.

which are, to be landed from boats +in such numbers as may be required, or admitted by circumstances, +supported by the seamen and marines of a squadron, and not to be +assembled as a battery, to replace, or be substituted for, regular +field-artillery.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_45" id="sect2_45"></a><span class="bb">45.</span> The force landed should be handled as light infantry, for which +the individuality of sailor-life so well fits the men;

because a compact formation requires too much +attention to position, distances, and alignments in any of them, with +more perfect drill than can well be obtained; and which, under fire, +exposes too much of a mark to every shot fired.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_47" id="sect2_47"></a><span class="bb">47.</span> The evolutions in the field should constitute but a small part of +the general system of drill, either with a single howitzer or a +battery, and should be assimilated to those of light infantry,—that +is, the most extended order that the ground admits of,—never massing +the guns in close order, but habituating the seamen to open out with +them in skirmishing order, keeping on their flanks, never in their +rear, using every cover of ground, trees, or, if time will admit, +throwing up some earth as a protection against riflemen or the +wide-spread fire of shrapnel,—while at the same time the fire is +concentrated to prevent attack on the pieces in detail, or is +dispersed, as may be required.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_48" id="sect2_48"></a><span class="bb">48.</span> Such a drill will best develop the scope and efficiency of the gun +as a naval arm, and will render most effective the peculiar advantages +of its lightness and mobility in rapid movements.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_49" id="sect2_49"></a><span class="bb">49.</span> Evolutions in action, or preparatory thereto, should always be +performed with the ammunition in the pouches;

When +more than a single piece is landed, it may be found convenient to +secure the trail of one field-carriage to the axle of another, and +then, by means of pieces of stuff, or boat's spars, secured from axle +to axle, to place the ammunition-boxes, provisions, and pouches upon +them.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_61" id="sect2_61"></a><span class="bb">61.</span> Shrapnel may be effectively used where the dispersion of common +canister becomes too great and its effects feeble. It takes the place +of common shell, to a great extent, when uncovered masses of men are +in view, and is designed to burst in front of troops, at just such a +distance and height as to disperse the balls among them.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_62" id="sect2_62"></a><span class="bb">62.</span> Similar terms are used in marking the sight and the fuze. Thus, if +the fuze be adjusted to 2 seconds, and the piece elevated by the sight +raised to the line on it marked 2 seconds, then the shrapnel will +burst about 500 yards from the piece, and spread its balls from that +point to a considerable distance further—effectively at least 150 +yards.</p> + +<p>The adjustment of the fuze to the distance and the altitude of +explosion are regulated to the elevation; and, therefore, the three +conditions to good effect may be said to depend mainly on a correct +knowledge of distance.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_63" id="sect2_63"></a><span class="bb">63.</span> The 12-pdr. shrapnel contains 80 musket-balls, and if its +explosion occurs at one hundred or one hundred and twenty yards in +front of and fifteen to twenty yards above the object, one-seventh of +the number of balls may be relied on to take effect upon an object 20 +by 10 feet in size.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_64" id="sect2_64"></a><span class="bb">64.</span> Shells may be advantageously substituted for shrapnel when the +hostile force is sheltered, especially by such quarters as small craft +or merchantmen afford, or when material of any kind is the object of +the fire.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_65" id="sect2_65"></a><span class="bb">65.</span> At two hundred yards canister, only, is required.</p> + +<p>In case of a want of canister, the shrapnel or common shell furnishes +an excellent substitute by cutting into the magazine of the Bormann +fuze, which will cause it to explode at the muzzle.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_66" id="sect2_66"></a><span class="bb">66.</span> When provided with the Bormann fuze, the shrapnel, or shell, as +issued, is complete.

Each company to be commanded by a Lieutenant, +with two other officers. The company to be subdivided into two +platoons, and each platoon into two sections, and to be exercised in +such movements as are absolutely necessary to manœuvre as a company +and in battalion, by the officers who are to command them.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_71" id="sect2_71"></a><span class="bb">71.</span> Small vessels should furnish a platoon of 40 or section of 20 men, +that the companies formed by their aggregation may be of equal +strength.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_72" id="sect2_72"></a><span class="bb">72.</span> The companies when landed are to fall in, and number from the +right according to the seniority of the Captains of their respective +ships, so that they at once will fall into their places according to +their number when landed.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_73" id="sect2_73"></a><span class="bb">73.</span> Each ship landing two companies is to be prepared to land with the +small-arm men six Pioneers—2 with a saw and axe each, 2 with a +pickaxe and spade each, 2 with a small crowbar and sledge-hammer, or +such intrenching or other tools as the nature of the expedition may +require; the tools to be slung on the men's backs; smaller detachments +a proportionate number.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_74" id="sect2_74"></a><span class="bb">74.</span> The ship's bugler, if she have one, or drummer, will be sent with +the men. He is to be able to sound the "Assembly," "Retreat," "Close," +"Extend," "Commence Firing," and "Cease Firing," which sounds the men +are to be accustomed to on board ship.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_75" id="sect2_75"></a><span class="bb">75.</span> If the men are likely to be on shore during the night, they should +have a haversack and blanket slung across their shoulders.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_76" id="sect2_76"></a><span class="bb">76.</span> As muskets are apt to miss fire the first time if not properly +clean, the greatest precaution is to be taken to see that the nipple +is perfectly clear before loading; first, by blowing down the barrel +and placing the finger before the nipple, to feel that the air passes +through it, and afterwards snapping a cap off to dry up any oil or +moisture that may be in the barrel. To avoid accidents, it is better +not to cap the muskets until after landing.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_77" id="sect2_77"></a><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_B_26" id="Page_B_26"></a>[26]</span><span class="bb">77.</span> When field-pieces are landed, the guns shall be numbered from the +right in the same manner as a company.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_78" id="sect2_78"></a><span class="bb">78.</span> One or more armorers should be sent with each landing party with +cleaning-rods, screw-drivers, and spare nipples.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_79" id="sect2_79"></a><span class="bb">79.</span> The boats should be formed in divisions, according to the +seniority of the Captains of their respective ships—or of the +Commanding Officers of the divisions—numbering from the right. The +seamen and marines, having been told off in companies previous to +leaving their ships, on landing they will form immediately in the same +order.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_80" id="sect2_80"></a><span class="bb">80.</span> The howitzers being mounted as boat's guns and prepared for +landing are brought at once into action, or remain in the boats, +according to circumstances.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_81" id="sect2_81"></a><span class="bb">81.</span> Each division of boats should have a distinguishing flag; and +scaling-ladders, intrenching tools, and other implements, should be +carried by designated boats.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_82" id="sect2_82"></a><span class="bb">82.</span> The boats will always land a boat's length apart. Before leaving +the ship four boat-keepers should be appointed to each boat carrying a +howitzer, and two for the others, with an officer in charge of each +division of boats, who are on no account to leave them. Should there +be a probability of the landing party being attacked on a +re-embarkation, the boats should be hauled off to their anchors, with +a long scope of cable, having a stern-line to the beach, and a man in +the boat to veer in, that the troops may be readily embarked. The +officer left in charge of the boats should be careful to avoid being +surprised; and, if circumstances admit, strengthen his position by +cutting down trees and throwing up small breastworks a short distance +in front.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_83" id="sect2_83"></a><span class="bb">83.</span> A fast-pulling boat with Medical Officers will attend in rear of +the line, designated by a yellow flag.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_84" id="sect2_84"></a><span class="bb">84.</span> Should the distance from the point of landing be considerable, the +boats of each division, in tow of each other, lightest boats leading, +will fall in—the leading boat of each division abreast (Art. 72), +leaving space for the whole line to form abreast when ordered. On +approaching the beach the tow-ropes should be cast off, and the +launches with howitzers dress up in line ready to open fire, if +necessary, to clear the landing. The officer in command will commence +firing from the howitzers when he thinks fit; but no musketry is to be +fired without special orders.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_85" id="sect2_85"></a><span class="bb">85.</span> When the Commanding Officer perceives the beach to be clear, or +when he considers it proper, he will order "Cease firing!" and direct +the boats with skirmishers and light howitzers to pull in and land as +quickly as possible. On landing they will immediately extend, advance, +and seize the <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_B_27" id="Page_B_27"></a>[27]</span>first cover near the beach, if there be any, but will +not open fire till the Officer commanding them sounds "Commence +firing." The main body then pull steadily in and land, forming line in +rear of the covering party. The howitzers form on the flanks of their +divisions, or as ordered. Pioneers and scaling-ladders as ordered. The +main body being formed, will advance in line or column, according to +circumstances, preceded by the skirmishers firing, if necessary. When +firing in close order the front rank should fire kneeling, as, owing +to the shortness of muskets, accidents frequently occur. Under certain +circumstances, as advancing on an open beach, the boats might be +employed on the flanks to cover the advance or retreat.</p> + +<p><a name="sect2_86" id="sect2_86"></a><span class="bb">86.</span> Should the boats be employed for the disembarkation of troops, the +same arrangement should be made.

A measuring-staff of steel or iron, in joints of suitable length, +connected together by screws. Each joint is provided with a light +brass <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_C_9" id="Page_C_9"></a>[9]</span>disk, the diameter of which is 0.05 inches less than that of the +bore. Through the centre of the disk there is a hole which fits upon a +shoulder at the joint; the whole is so arranged that when the joints +are screwed together the disks between them are held firmly in place, +while the length of the staff is not affected by them. A steel point +is screwed on to the end. When pushed to the bottom of the bore, the +staff coincides very nearly with its axis. The outer joint is +graduated to inches and tenths. A slide is made to play upon it with a +vernier scale, graduated to hundredths of an inch. On the inner end of +the slide a branch projects at a right angle, sufficiently long to +reach across the muzzle face, and, when in contact with it, to +indicate the precise length obtained from that point to the end of the +measuring-point on the other end of the staff. A half disk of wood, +made to fit the bore, with a groove for the staff to rest in, placed +just inside of the muzzle, is useful in preventing any springing of +the staff.</p> + +<p>The point being taken off, the staff can be used with the cylinder +gauge, to measure the distance to which the latter descends. But as +the graduation is intended for the points, care must be taken in this +case to allow for the difference.</p> + +<p>5th. A chamber-gauge for verifying the shape and size of conical +chambers.</p> + +<p>The head should be made of close-grained, well-seasoned wood, and of +the exact dimensions of the chamber. Two planes, crossing each other +at a right angle, coinciding with the vertical and horizontal central +sections, have been found better than a solid block. The edges should +be bevelled. A metal socket in its centre connects it with the +measuring-staff. Being pushed to the bottom of the bore, if the length +coincides with that obtained by the point, it is obvious that the +chamber is large enough, provided the cylindrical part has not been +bored too deep, in which case a shoulder would be found at the +junction. The edges of the gauge should be chalked before it is +inserted. When withdrawn, if the chalk-marks are visible all around +the chamber, it is evident the chamber is not too large. With slight +modifications, this arrangement may be applied to the slope of +cylindrical chambers, and to the curve at the bottom of the bore of +any guns. Should the inspection of guns with conical chambers or +slopes take place at the foundry, an examination of the chamber reamer +will be very satisfactory. If found correct in size and shape, the +impossibility of making the chamber too large will be apparent.</p> + +<p>6th. A star-gauge, for measuring the diameters of the bores and of +cylindrical chambers. This instrument is composed of the staff, the +handle, and a set of points for each calibre.</p> + +<p>The staff is a brass tube, made in three pieces, for convenience of +stowage, and connected together, when required, by screws. Its inner +end expands into a head, in which are placed four steel sockets, at +equal distances <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_C_10" id="Page_C_10"></a>[10]</span>from each other, which receive the points. Two of the +sockets opposite to each other are secured permanently. The two others +are movable. A tapering plate or wedge, the sides of which are +cylindrical, runs through a slit in the head; an aperture in the inner +ends of the movable socket embraces the cylinder, so that when the +plate is moved forward or backward, the sockets are projected or +withdrawn. The tapering of the plate has a certain known proportion to +its length, so that if it is moved in either direction a given +distance, a proportional movement is imparted to the sockets, and to +the points which they contain. It is easy to see how, in this manner, +a movement of .10 in. may increase or diminish the distance between +the points .01 in. Therefore there would be no difficulty in +estimating, to a considerable degree of accuracy, a difference of .001 +in. between the points. In general, however, the distance on the plate +required to move the points .01 in. is about .06 in. only.</p> + +<p>A square sliding rod is connected with the tapering plate, and runs +through the whole length of the tube, projecting some inches beyond +the outer end. This rod has as many parts as there are joints in the +staff, and, like them, connects by screws. Each section of the rod +works in its proper joint, through a square socket at each end, and is +prevented from falling out by pins. When screwing the joints together, +if the ends of the rod are pressed up to each other they become +connected by the same motion.</p> + +<p>The staff is graduated to inches and quarters, so that the distance of +the points from the muzzle of the gun may always be known. A centre +line, starting from the centre of the upper socket, is marked upon the +staff throughout its length.</p> + +<p>The handle in use at present is of brass, made to fit over the outer +end of the staff, and to connect with the sliding rod by a screw, +having a large milled head at the outer extremity of the handle. It +may be used on either joint, as required. A slit through the handle +permits a part of the staff near the end to be seen beneath. A scale +on one side of the slit is graduated with the distance that the rod +moves, to throw the points .01 in. apart.</p> + +<p>That part of the handle containing the slit and scale is separated +from the other part; it is made to fit closely over it. On each side +there is a small tube; a thread is cut in one, through which a fine +screw, held by a stud on the permanent part of the handle, works and +gives it motion; a guide runs through the other. Seen through the slit +is a small plate of silver inserted in the staff, and a fine mark upon +it to show the place of zero, when the points are adjusted. The +zero-mark on the scale is made to correspond with it by means of the +screw just mentioned.</p> + +<p>The points are of steel, with a strong shoulder at one end, below +which the screw is cut that fits into the socket in the head. A wrench +is made to fit the other end, so as to turn the point firmly into its +place. They are made of such a length that they will just pass into +the adjusting-ring when <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_C_11" id="Page_C_11"></a>[11]</span>they are all in place. To this instrument +belong the adjusting-rings and the muzzle-rest in the form of T; of +the rings there is one for each calibre, reamed out to the exact +minimum diameter of the bore. The latter can be used for any class of +guns. Its office is to keep the staff of the star-gauge in the axis of +the bore. For this purpose it contains a groove, above the +perpendicular branch, to receive the lower half of the staff. There is +a movable slide on each branch, which can be adjusted to marks for +each calibre, so that points projecting from their rear will enter the +muzzle and hold the rest in place. In this position the upper edge of +the transverse branch coincides with the diameter of the bore.</p> + +<p>A hook is pivoted on the inner side of the transverse branch, on one +side of the groove, and so fitted that when the star-gauge is in the +gun, it embraces one-half of that portion of the staff which is above +the groove. Therefore, if the transverse branch be placed so as to +coincide with the axis of the trunnions, the hook thrown over the +staff, and the latter turned so that the centre line just meets the +end of the hook, the perpendicular points will be perpendicular to the +axis of the trunnions. If the staff is then drawn out carefully, the +measurements will all be taken in the same plane. A notch in the end +of the hook, made to coincide with the plane of the muzzle, may be +used for marking the distances on the staff.</p> + +<p>The upright branch is movable, and is made to fit into the end of the +transverse branch, for convenience and security in packing.</p> + +<p>In examining the bores after proof, it has been found that the +greatest indentation occurs in general near the seat of the +projectiles. But, as it is not always found at precisely the same +point of the circle of the bore, a convenient mode of searching for it +is desirable. This is supplied by a disk for circular measurements, +which may also be considered as belonging to the star-gauge. It is +made of composition, and is divided into halves, with a hole through +the centre to receive the staff of the star-gauge.</p> + +<p>It is turned so as to fit into the muzzle of the gun closely, with a +projecting lip two or three inches broad to hold it in place, and with +cleats overlapping the edges, to keep it from going in too far. The +face is a plane surface. The circumference is divided into as many +equal parts as may be thought desirable, which are numbered in regular +order. The centre hole is reinforced on the inside by a projection +which is turned to receive a collar that fits closely around it, and +holds the two halves together when they are placed on the staff.</p> + +<p>When ready for use, the face is in the plane of the muzzle-face. Its +zero-mark is made to coincide with a light punch-mark on the +muzzle-face, directly below the line of sight.</p> + +<p>On the staff of the star-gauge a brass slide is fitted, having a +thumb-screw to hold it in any position; from the inner end a point +extends at a right angle to its axis, of sufficient length to meet the +points at the circumference <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_C_12" id="Page_C_12"></a>[12]</span>of the disk; a centre line extends from +the base to the apex. The slide being moved so as to make its inner +end coincide with any mark upon the staff, at which a circular +measurement is required, and the centre line of the point being made +to coincide with that of the staff, it is secured by the thumb-screw. +The point of the slide is then in the same plane with the +perpendicular measuring-points, and its direction always indicates +them; a series of measurements, made before proof, may thus be +compared with another made at the same points after proof.</p> + +<p>It is obvious that the determinations will not be absolutely accurate, +for when the gun is worn, should the stationary points be +perpendicular, the movable points, being then horizontal, would fall +below the true horizontal diameter, and the measurements would be more +in error than it would be with the points in any other direction. +Still, if care is taken to preserve the points at the greatest length +possible, a very tolerable degree of accuracy may be attained. In the +inspection of guns arranged on skids, the gun itself should be turned, +which will insure accurate measurements. Care must also be taken not +to allow the joints of the staff to become so loose that the +coincidence of the centre line is destroyed when they are screwed +together. If this should occur, however, a few turns of thread, placed +between them at the time of putting the instrument together, would +remedy the difficulty.</p> + +<p>7th. An instrument for verifying the interior position of vents.</p> + +<p>When the vent is drilled in the vertical plane of the axis, as in the +guns of old patterns, a simple head, shaped to fit the bottom of the +bore, or the chamber, with a staff fitted to it, is sufficient. But +for the Dahlgren guns, with two vents, some other plan is better. The +following has been found satisfactory:</p> + +<p>A head of well-seasoned wood, which is fitted to the chamber, is +attached to a wooden disk of the diameter of the main bore. The +surface of the head corresponds with a longitudinal central section of +the chamber; at the point where the projection of the vent would meet +it a piece of hard wood is inserted. A central line drawn through its +length, crossed at a right angle by another line at any known point +from the smaller end, will afford convenient points to measure from. A +stout square wooden staff is attached to the axis of the head; at a +distance equal to the length of the bore, the end is jogged into the +centre of a half disk of wood, which is fitted to the bore. The whole +is so constructed that the straight edge of the half disk (or the +chord) is in the same plane as a horizontal section of the head. A few +holes are bored through the disk attached to the half head, to allow +the instrument to pass freely into the gun and out of it.</p> + +<p>A wire of untempered steel, of the size of the vent, with a sharp, +well-centred point, and a small spirit-level, are required to use with +this instrument.</p> + +<p>The gun being levelled, and the instrument being pushed to the bottom +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_C_13" id="Page_C_13"></a>[13]</span>of the bore, the upper edge of the half disk near the outer end of the +staff is then brought to a level. The surface of the half head then +corresponds with the horizontal central section of the chamber. The +point of the wire being pushed gently to meet it, will show very +accurately the interior position of the vent.</p> + +<p>8th. Profile-boards for distances in front and rear of the base line.</p> + +<p>Their lower edges are adapted to the shape of the gun, and the upper +ones are parallel to the axis of the bore.</p> + +<p>The distances from the base-line of the several parts, and of the +points at which diameters are to be measured, are laid off accurately +on the upper edge, and then marked in lines perpendicular to it on the +sides and lower edges of the profile. An iron strip is attached to the +upper edge to prevent warping, and the whole is well coated with +shellac varnish, to keep it from absorbing moisture.</p> + +<p>The following instruments are used in connection with the +profile-boards:</p> + +<p>A rule for verifying the marks, of such a length that not more than +one fleeting may be necessary, to be graduated decimally according to +the standard.</p> + +<p>A small square of steel, to be used in referring the marks on the +board to those on the rule.</p> + +<p>A steel straight-edge, long enough to extend across the muzzle-face, +and several inches on the board, to ascertain the extreme length from +base to muzzle. It is also used for the same purpose at the extreme +end of the cascabel.</p> + +<p>A steel scratcher, to mark the gun at points not otherwise indicated, +where diameters are to be measured.</p> + +<p>9th. A trunnion-square of steel or iron for ascertaining the position +of the trunnions, with reference to the axis of the bore. This +instrument is a square with two branches, one of which is fixed and +the other movable. The foot of each branch is in the same plane, and +is parallel to the upper edge of the main piece which connects them. +The latter is graduated to inches and tenths. The movable branch +slides on the main piece, and may be secured to it by two +thumb-screws. It is provided with a vernier scale graduated to +hundredths of an inch. Between the branches there is a slide, also +provided with a vernier graduated as before, with a thumb-screw to +secure it firmly; in its centre there is a sliding-point, moving +vertically, with a thumb-screw to fasten it. Above the foot of each +branch there is a slit to receive the shank of a plate, on the end of +which a thread is cut; the lower edge of the plate forms a right angle +with the branch, and the plate is fastened to the branch by a nut, at +a point from the end equal to the semi-diameter of the trunnion, which +is marked on each branch.</p> + +<p>When the feet of the branches, or the lower edge of the plates, rest +upon the trunnions, the upper edge of the main piece is parallel to +their axis, if their alignment is correct. When in the latter +position, the edges of the feet will lie close against the sides of +the trunnions.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_C_14" id="Page_C_14"></a>[14]</span>A graduated steel wedge is used to measure the deviation of the +trunnions from the feet of the square.</p> + +<p>10th. A trunnion-gauge, which is an iron ring of the proper diameter +of the trunnions. Its outer edge coincides with the diameter of the +rimbases.</p> + +<p>11th. A trunnion-rule, to measure the distance of the trunnions from +the base ring, or line. This is an iron rod with a head at one end, +through which passes one branch of a small square. The centre of the +rod is marked on the end, and the square is set so that the inner edge +of the branch which is parallel to the rod is at a distance equal to +the semi-diameter of the trunnion from the centre. It is secured in +this position by screws and clamps.</p> + +<p>The upper side of the rod is graduated to inches and tenths. A slide +with a slot through it, to show the graduation beneath, traverses upon +it, and is kept from turning by a guide on the lower side. There is a +vernier upon the slide, graduated to hundredths of an inch; a +thumb-screw serves to secure the slide at any point on the rod. That +end of the slide from which the graduation of the rod commences has +both of its sides drawn out, to form knife-edges; the knife-edges and +the end of the slide are in the same plane. When the square at the end +is placed on the trunnion, the end of the rod will touch its side at +the point of its greatest diameter. The rod being held parallel to the +axis of the bore, with the side of the head pressing the rimbase, the +knife-edge will be in a proper position to fall into the base line +when moved to find it.</p> + +<p>12th. A beam-calliper for measuring diameters is a square of steel or +iron, with two branches, one of which is fixed and the other sliding. +The inner edges of the two branches, when pushed together, lie, of +course, in contact with each other throughout their length. The beam +is graduated to inches and tenths. A vernier is attached to the +sliding branch, graduated to hundredths of an inch. The latter is +provided with a thumb-screw, to fasten it at any point.</p> + +<p>The length of the beam must be rather greater than the diameter; and +that of the branches than the semi-diameter of the guns to be +inspected, at their largest points.</p> + +<p>13th. A cascabel-block is a wooden cylinder of the proper diameter of +the breeching-hole, the size of which it is used to verify.</p> + +<p>The opening between the jaws may be ascertained by measuring the iron +block which is fitted to go between them, or by a template.</p> + +<p>14th. A vent-guide, to be used with vents in guns of Dahlgren's +pattern.</p> + +<p>This instrument is made of bronze or composition. When placed upon the +gun, one of its branches coincides with the curve of the cylinder, and +the other, starting from its centre, lies along the cylinder in +contact with it longitudinally. The lower edges of the branches are a +right line and a <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_C_15" id="Page_C_15"></a>[15]</span>curved line, making two right angles with each +other. The length of that of the transverse branch is equal to the +distance between the centre of the two vents. The rear surface of the +transverse branch is curved and quadrilateral. Its sides are inclined, +so that their rear edges show the exact direction of the vents. Every +point in the upper edge lies in the same horizontal plane. The height +is sufficient to permit the edges to give an accurate direction to the +drill.</p> + +<p>The upper edge of the other branch runs off in a sloping curve to its +extremity.</p> + +<p>A centre line is drawn through the lower edge of the longitudinal +branch, and is continued upwards on the rear surface of the transverse +branch to the top.</p> + +<p>The guide being placed with its centre upon the centre mark of the +gun, and the centre line of the longitudinal branch being made to +coincide with the centre line scribed upon the cylinder, the rear +lower edge of the transverse branch will then coincide with the +base-line, its extremities will indicate the centres of the vents, and +the rear edges of the sides will show their true direction.</p> + +<p>15th. Vent-gauges of untempered steel wire, with shoulders to prevent +them from slipping into the vent. One should be of the proper diameter +of the vent, one of the greatest, and one of the least diameter +allowed.</p> + +<p>16th. A vent-searcher, a steel wire of the length of the vent, bent to +a right angle at the lower end and pointed. It is used for detecting +imperfections in the sides of the vents.</p> + +<p>17th. A semicircular protractor of metal for measuring the inclination +of vents, or for ascertaining their deviation from the guide.</p> + +<p>18th. A set of templates for verifying the shape of lock-lugs, the +angle of the rear sight mass, the curve between the base-line and the +front of rear sight mass, that at the end of the cascabel, the bevel +of the breeching-hole, the opening of the cascabel, and the shape of +the muzzle swell.</p> + +<p>If the inspection should take place at the foundry, the templates used +in chipping might be verified and used for inspection.</p> + +<p>For guns of Dahlgren's pattern, a bronze model, showing the shape of +the lugs and rear sight mass, and the position of the vents, is +furnished as a guide to the contractors.</p> + +<p>19th. A standard foot-rule for verifying measures.</p> + +<p>20th. A foot-rule of steel for measuring the masses, the length of the +trunnions, and for other purposes. The graduation should be extended +to each end.</p> + +<p>21st. A set of ring-gauges, large, medium, and small, for inspecting +the projectiles used in proof.</p> + +<p>22d. A small beam-calliper, with outside edges, for examining the +adjusting rings and the ring-gauges.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_C_16" id="Page_C_16"></a>[16]</span>23d. A platform balance, for weighing the projectiles used in proof, +and for bringing the shells up to the standard weight. For use with +the above there should be provided a bag of dry sand, a funnel, some +wooden plugs for the fuze-holes, and a hammer.</p> + +<p>24th. A set of implements for loading and cleaning, viz.:</p> + +<div style="margin-left: 2%;"> +<p style="margin-top: .25em; margin-bottom: .25em;">A rammer, faced with hard wood or metal, with a graduated scale on +the staff, near the muzzle, to show the distance of the front of the +projectiles from the muzzle.</p> +<p style="margin-top: .25em; margin-bottom: .25em;">A bristle sponge with a worm in its end, for ordinary use in firing.</p> + +<p style="margin-top: .25em; margin-bottom: .25em;">A sheepskin sponge, for drying the bore after cleaning it.</p> + +<p style="margin-top: .25em; margin-bottom: .25em;">A gun-scraper.</p> + +<p style="margin-top: .25em; margin-bottom: .25em;">A ladle.</p> + +<p style="margin-top: .25em; margin-bottom: .25em;">A boring-bit.</p> + +<p style="margin-top: .25em; margin-bottom: .25em;">A priming-wire.</p> + +<p style="margin-top: .25em; margin-bottom: .25em;">A lock and lanyard, should navy primers be used in firing; but if +friction primers are used, then a lanyard with a hook in its end will +be required, only.</p> + +<p style="margin-top: .25em; margin-bottom: .25em;">A breeching and a couple of tackles, if the guns should be fired on skids.</p> + +<p style="margin-top: .25em; margin-bottom: .25em;">Six handspikes.</p> + +<p style="margin-top: .25em; margin-bottom: .25em;">Six buckets and a large tub, for washing out the guns.</p> + +<p style="margin-top: .25em; margin-bottom: .25em;">If the firing is made into a butt, a couple of wheelbarrows, with two +or three pickaxes and half a dozen shovels, will be necessary.</p> +</div> + +<p>25th. A searcher, with six or more points, to detect injuries or +cavities in the bore.</p> + +<p>26th. A machine for taking the interior impression of vents.</p> + +<p>This consists of a wooden head, one-half of which is cylindrical, and +the other half is of the shape of the chamber, both being rather +smaller than the parts of the bore that they are intended for. A +staff, flat on its upper side, and rounded on its under side to fit +the curve of the bore, is mortised into the circumference of the +cylindrical part of the head. A mortise is cut through the chamber +part of the head, extending several inches in rear and front of the +position of the vent. Into this mortise a loose piece is fitted, +capable of free motion upwards and downwards, the top of which is +pierced with holes to secure the wax or composition which is spread +over its surface. This movable piece rests on a wedge attached to a +flat rod running through a slot in the head; there is a slot in this +rod about four inches long, a pin passing through it into the staff. +To use the instrument, withdraw the rod as far as the slot will +permit, which will allow the movable piece on which the composition +has been spread to drop below the surface of the head, and protect it. +Push the head to the bottom of the chamber, and arrange the position +of the staff so that the movable piece will cover the vent, then press +the end of the rod home. This motion will throw out the composition, +and a distinct impression of the vent and of fire-cracks (should there +be any) will be left upon its surface; draw the rod back as far <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_C_17" id="Page_C_17"></a>[17]</span>as +the slot will allow, and withdraw the instrument: the impression, +being protected thereby, will come out uninjured.</p> + +<p>Impressions of injuries or cavities in the bore may easily be taken by +a similar contrivance.</p> + +<p>27th. Hydraulic pump and apparatus for the water-proof.</p> + +<p>Any of the various patterns of this machine may be applied to the +proof of guns. An iron cross-head is secured to a stout wooden block +which fits into the muzzle, and which has a flange or shoulder to +cover the muzzle-face; rings of caoutchouc or gutta-percha are placed +between them; an iron rod with a ring in one end, to fit over the +trunnion, and with a thread cut on the other end, is used on each side +of the gun, to connect the trunnion with the cross-head. The whole is +set up with nuts, and the pressure upon the rings makes a tight joint; +a coupling upon the cross-head receives the hose, and the water is +forced into the gun through a hole in the wooden block. Care should be +taken that the valve is loaded with the proper weight for proof.</p> + +<p>28th. Dies for marking guns.—A full set of figures, with such capital +letters as may be required for the inspection-marks; these should be +one inch in length. Also, small letters of suitable size to mark +"lbs.," and a full set of half-inch figures.</p> +<br /> +<br /> + +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_C_18" id="Page_C_18"></a>[18]</span> +<h4>USE OF THE INSPECTING INSTRUMENTS.</h4> + +<p><a name="sect3_29" id="sect3_29"></a><span class="bb">29.</span> The guns having been freed from rust, and their foundry numbers +noted, in the order of their relative positions, on the field-book, +the inspecting officer will proceed to verify the instruments to be +used in their measurement, if this has not been previously done in a +manner entirely satisfactory to him.</p> + +<p>He will then examine carefully the guns, inside and out, for defects +of metal or of manufacture, and note the results.</p> + +<p>The interior of the bore is to be examined by reflecting the rays of +the sun into it from a mirror or mirrors; or, if the sun is obscured, +and there can be no delay, by means of a spirit-lamp, or of a wax +taper, on the end of a rod, taking care not to smoke the surface of +the bore.</p> + +<p>The cylinder-gauge is then to be introduced, which must pass freely to +the bottom of the cylindrical part of the bore. If obstructed, the +depth to which it reaches should be noted.</p> + +<p>The star-gauge is used to ascertain the exact diameter of the bore, +and of the cylindrical part of the chamber. The bore must be measured +at intervals of <span class="scfake">1/4</span> inch from the bottom of the cylindrical part to +the seat of the shot; of 1 inch from that point to the trunnions; and +of 5 inches from the trunnions to the muzzle. If any marks of the +reamer or other defects are seen in the bore, they are to be searched +for, and their depths and positions noted. These results are to be +tabulated according to the blank forms furnished. The whole length of +the bore is ascertained by means of the measuring-staff, with the +point screwed on, supported in the axis of the bore by the disks and +half-tompion.</p> + +<p>In the absence of this instrument, a pine rod, having the proper +length of the bore marked on it, and the end rounded to the curve of +the bottom of the bore, will answer as well, using a thread or a +straight-edge across the face of the muzzle.</p> + +<p>The shape and dimensions of the chamber, and the position of the +interior orifice of the vent, are verified by means of the +chamber-gauge, the description of which will explain its use. An +inspection of the chamber-reamer will be generally satisfactory in +determining the size and shape of the chamber.</p> + +<p>The vent is measured by the appropriate gauges, the smaller of which +must enter freely, and the larger not at all. It is searched for +roughness, or for cavities in the metal around it, by means of the +searcher, the point of which should feel every part of it carefully.</p> + +<p>Its inclination to the surface, and its position externally, are +verified by means of the vent-guide furnished for the Dahlgren guns, +and by the semicircular protractor and the vent-gauge.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_C_19" id="Page_C_19"></a>[19]</span>In guns of the ordinary construction, the position of the vent is +marked on the profile-board, and its inclination to the surface is +determined by the protractor and vent-gauge.</p> + +<p>The exterior lengths of the gun are measured by the profile-board, +marked with the true dimensions, the differences being measured by the +foot-rule, or, if minute, estimated by the eye.</p> + +<p>The exterior diameters are measured with the calipers and square, or +by the set-gauges used in turning, and a graduated wedge.</p> + +<p>To verify the position and alignment of the trunnions of a gun, it is +first necessary to ascertain, by means of the trunnion-gauge and of +the calipers, their cylindrical form and their diameters, which should +be the same, or allowance must be made for half the difference in +measuring their axial distances from the base-line, by the +trunnion-rule, which should next be done.

The feet of its branches should coincide with the surfaces +of both trunnions, throughout their length, above and in rear, and +their inner edges with the faces of the rimbases. Then, with the +beam-compass, scribe on the upper surface of the gun the distance of +the axis of the trunnions from the base-line, and push the +sliding-point of the square down, till, at that distance, it touches +the surface of the gun, and screw it fast.

The square, +being again applied, will determine whether the trunnions are above or +below the axis of the bore, which will coincide with that of the gun, +if accurately bored, and turned on the same centres and bearings. If +the branches rest upon the trunnions before the point of the slider +touches the gun at the scribe, their axis is below; but if the point +touch first, above the axis of the bore, by half the space between. +The graduated wedge, being placed under the vertical sliding-point, +will determine the amount.

And the Inspectors of Ordnance at foundries or Navy Yards +will satisfy themselves that this has been done before accepting or +preparing them for service.</p> + +<p><a name="sect3_81" id="sect3_81"></a><span class="bb">81.</span> The shell is next struck with a hammer, to judge by the ring or +sound whether it is free from cracks; and the exterior and interior +diameters of the fuze-hole (which should be accurately reamed) are to +be verified, and the soundness of the metal about the inside of the +fuze-hole ascertained. To determine the thickness of the metal, three +points, at least, on the great circle at right angles to the axis of +the fuze-hole are to be measured; also one at the fuze-hole and one at +the bottom. No shell shall be received which deviates more than +one-tenth of an inch from the proper thickness in any part.</p> + +<p><a name="sect3_82" id="sect3_82"></a><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_C_38" id="Page_C_38"></a>[38]</span><span class="bb">82.</span> The shell is next placed in a tub of water, which should be deep +enough to completely cover the shell. Air is then forced by the +bellows into the shell. If there are any holes in it, air-bubbles will +rise on the surface of the water, and the shell shall be rejected.</p> + +<p><a name="sect3_83" id="sect3_83"></a><span class="bb">83.</span> This occasionally occurs from the escape of air from porous spots +which do not extend to the interior of the shells. In this case the +action of the bellows produces no increase of bubbles, which cease +rising as soon as the spots or cavities are filled with water. Porous +spots are also detected by their absorbing water and drying slowly +when exposed to the air, and shall likewise cause the rejection of the +shell.</p> + +<p><a name="sect3_84" id="sect3_84"></a><span class="bb">84.</span> The Inspecting Officers will stamp the shell at one inch from the +fuze-hole with their initials, also those of the foundry at which they +are cast.</p> + +<p>The Inspector or one of his assistants must be present when shot or +shell are inspected;

Both +the cocks must be turned from the deck above, each having a lever to +its spindle for the purpose, distinctly marked, with engraved letters, +what it is and how it is to be used, and kept secured by a proper +lock, the key of which is to be kept among those of the magazines. A +short pipe to lead the water down into the hold is to be attached to +the emptying cock, and with this the waste-pipe is to connect. All are +to be well boxed over for protection against injury. A <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_C_63" id="Page_C_63"></a>[63]</span>perforated +disk, or strainer, is to be secured inside of the hole, at the upper +part of the magazine, for the waste-pipe.

This box, of which a portion of the magazine +bulkhead forms a part, is to be lined, internally, with soldered +sheets of copper, and have a few inches of water in it whenever the +lamp is lighted. The entrance to it is at the top, through a scuttle +in the deck large enough to admit the lamp. For single-decked vessels +this scuttle may be surrounded by a composition coaming pierced with +holes one-fourth of an inch in diameter, on the forward and after +sides near the top. The cover must be so arranged that, when placed in +one position, all the holes will be closed—by turning it half round, +they are all open; thus supplying air to the lamp and carrying off +smoke. In the portion of the magazine bulkhead just alluded to, and so +as to throw as much light as possible into the magazine-room, an +opening with great bevelling is to be cut, which is to be covered by +two plane glasses of suitable thickness, somewhat separated from each +other, one of which, that next to the lamp, must be permanently fixed; +and the other, or that next to the magazine, is to be let into a +wooden frame so that it may be easily removed, and thus both glasses +cleaned at any time with convenience and safety. The glasses are to be +held in place by brass screws, after being closely fitted and having +their edges made perfectly tight. A small dome or reversed funnel of +copper, where it can be conveniently done, is to be placed above the +lamp and fitted with a pipe of the same metal to convey the smoke off. +This pipe may pass up through the covering of the light-box, which is +to have a plug-hole, lined with brass, for the purpose, and then led +farther, if necessary, taking care, however, to consult perfect safety +throughout.</p> + +<p>The admission of air to the light-box may be from the division of the +hold in which it is placed, by small holes, near its top, through its +side or back, protected with copper wire-gauze, inside and outside of +the box.</p> + +<p>The ceiling and bulkheads of all magazines and shell-rooms should be +thoroughly whitewashed.</p> +<br /> +<br /> + +<p class="cen">STOWING THE MAGAZINES.</p> + +<p><a name="sect3_201" id="sect3_201"></a><span class="bb">201.</span> In the stowage of magazines, reference must be had to the +Gunner's duties (Art. 36, Part I.), and to Arrangements for Delivering +and Distributing Powder (Art. 180, Part I.).

Therefore, they should always +be built with reference to these objects, as well as to affording room +enough to accommodate conveniently the number of loaded shells allowed +in their boxes, stowed in bulk. Each should have one light, arranged +like those for magazines.</p> + +<p><a name="sect3_203" id="sect3_203"></a><span class="bb">203.</span> In vessels partially armed with shell-guns, the best place, +perhaps, for these rooms is immediately forward of the spirit-room, +but not communicating with it; and in those armed entirely with such +guns, the additional shell-rooms necessary may be, perhaps, more +conveniently placed abaft, and adjoining the delivering-passage of the +forward magazine, than elsewhere.</p> + +<p><a name="sect3_204" id="sect3_204"></a><span class="bb">204.</span> With the introduction of rifled cannon, and various special +projectiles, it is essential to devote more care to the stowage of +shells, in order to avoid confusion in battle.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> + diff --git a/19058-h/images/p040a.png b/19058-h/images/p040a.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644
