[Plate II.] Fixed ammunition is used in the 3.8-inch gun and is made up of either common shrapnel or common steel shell. The ammunition as made up varies slightly in length with the type of projectile used. The ammunition chests of the battery are of sufficient size to take either kind of ammimition furnished, so that the quantity of each class of ammunition to be carried is a matter to be regulated by proper authority. All fixed ammunition for the 3.8-iiich gun is issued filled and fuzed. The weight of the projectile is 30 poimds and the total weight of the fixed ammimition, either shrapnel or shell, is 37.78 pounds. A cast-iron shell has been designed having the same center of gravity and exterior dimensions as the common steel shell. This is used for proof and range firing only* THE CARTRIDGE CASE. [Plate II.] The cartridge case is a solid drawn case of cartridge brass having a capacity of approximately 142.6 cubic inches. The weight of the cartridge case with the llO-graia percussion primer is 4.78 pounds. The base of the cartridge case is stamped with the name of the gun, iaitials of the place of manufacture, and the year of manufacture. The ammunition lot number is also stamped on the base of the cartridge case. A circular groove cut in the base of the cartridge case is painted yellow to indicate common shrapnel and black to indicate common steel shell, i. e., high explosive shell. THE PROPELLING CHARGE. The propelling charge is composed of nitrocellulose powder, the granulation being cylindrical and having seven longitudinal perfora- tions. The weight of the propelling charge varies shghtly for differ- ent lots of powder and weighs approximately 48 ounces. Smokeless powder must not be used for blailk charges. For this purpose, the Ordnance Department furnishes a special powder. PROJECTILES. COMMON STEEL SHELL. [Plate II.] The common steel shell contains a bursting charge of 3.24 pounds of trinitrotoluol. Tlie weight of the shell with the bursting charge, fuze, and base cover is 30 poimds with a small tolerance either way. -ROTATINS BAND. BASEDEromrm FUZE-MED/UM CAUBEff. PLATCn " COVER.

[Plate II.] The shrapnel is a base charged common shrapnel fitted with a 31-second combination fuze. The shrapnel filling is composed of 369 balls, each approximately 230 grains in weight. The balls are approximately 0.54 inch in diameter. The interstices contain a smoke-producing matrix. All shrapnel ammunition is issued fuzed all ready for use and pro- vided with a waterproof hood over the fuze to exclude moisture. FRANKFORD ARSENAL COMBINATION FUZE, 31-SEC. MODEL OF 1907 M.

[Plates V, VI, and VII.] The carriage for the 3.8-inch gun is of the type known as the long recoil, in which the gun is permitted a sufficient length of recoil upon the carriage to render the latter stationary under firing stresses. As this carriage is of the same general design as the 3-inch gun carriage, model of 1902, the description of the carriage and its parts given in the handbook on 3-inch Gun Materiel, Form No. 1659, will be used. There are differences in design, however, existing between some parts of the two carriages, such as in the traversing mechanism, the rocker, and other smaller parts. These are taken up in their proper order, and the differences may be readily seen by comparison with similar paragraphs in the above-mentioned handbook. Any dimen- 24 sions given in the description of the 3-inch gun carriage will be dis- regarded, as the 3.8-inch gun has a larger carriage. Numbers of carriages will also be disregarded. WHEELS. The wheels are a heavier type of the Archibald pattern, 58 inches in diameter, with 4-inch tires. The hub cap is of forged steel and no hub band or hub-latch plunger is used. The wheel fastening is of a different design, being made in halves and pinned together by means of a pin and interlocking lugs at one end and a hasp and split pin at the other. The fastening has a square thread, onto which the wheel is screwed. The wheel is locked to the fastening by means of the hasp and staple. The only difference noted in the trail is that the rear ends of the flasks are not flanged outward at the points at which the float is attached. ELEVATING GEAR. The functioning of the elevating gears is the same, but differs in construction. In place of the angle the 3.8-inch gun-carriage rocker has two steel bars threaded in the pintle socket at one end and riveted to the traversing clip at the other. The traversing clip serves as a point of attachment for both the traversing and elevating mechanism. TRAVERSING MECHANISM. The traversing mechanism consists of the traversing worm shaft, mounted in a bearing in the traversing clip. The bearing is inclined 30° to the horizontal and is bushed at either end. Through an aperture provided for the purpose the worm thread on the traversing worm shaft engages with the rack on the traversing plate, which in turn is riveted to the cradle. A pin, inserted in the traversing clip after assembly, serves as a traversing stop. Two small lugs, one at the center and one at the right of the traversing plate, limit the motion of the gun to right or left. The traversing worm shaft extends upward and to the left, terminating in a seat for the trav- ersing handwheel. Turning the handwheel causes the cradle, with the gun, to be traversed, the amount of motion provided being 106 mils, 53 on each side of the axis of the carriage. CRADLE COMPLETE. The cradles complete are similar in design and operation except as noted. The 3.8-inch gun-carriage cradle has three steel forgings riveted to its under side — the pintle, traversing plate, and cradle-lock lug. The traversing and elevating mechanism are attached at the same point. 25 ACTION OF MECHANISM DURING RECOIL. The firing mechanism is as described in the handbook, Form 1659, for carriages after No. 168. AMMUNITION CARRIERS. There are no ammunition carriers mounted on the 3.8-inch gun carriage, and all references thereto in the handbook. Form 1659, should be disregarded. ROAD BRAKE. The spring cover and spring-cover end mentioned in the hand- book, Form 1659, are integral on the 3.8-inch carriage. There is but one rack riveted to the brake-segment bracket. THE SHIELD. The apron is hinged to the axle-seat brackets and the axle bear- ings and reaches to within 5.25 inches of the ground. For traveling, it is swung up under the seats and held by two apron latches, which are attached to brackets riveted to the foot-rest supports. The main shield is rigidly attached by bolts to the axle-seat brackets and axle bearings and is braced by two shield braces, reaching from its upper corners to the foot-rest frame. It has two wing nuts for securing the top shield when folded down and has a sighting port and a gun port. The latter is made a minimum port, and the shield is stiffened by a hood riveted to its front face. The upper edge of the top shield is 64 inches from the ground. TO FILL THE RECOIL CYLINDER. In the instructions regarding the filling of recoil cyUnders the fol- lowing important point should be noted in addition to the instruc- tions given in the handbook: Tlie cylinder should he refilled after any test wJiicli requires the retracting of the gun. TO DISMOUNT THE TRAVERSING MECHANISM. The gun being dismounted, reinove the traversing stop pin from the chp and traverse the cradle (muzzle end) to its extreme left position. This will disengage the rack from the worm on the shaft. To remove the worm shaft, first remove the handwheel, next the nut from the upper end of the shaft, and then unscrew the bushing from the traversing clip, which wiU allow the shaft to be withdrawn. To assemble the traversing mechanism, the above operations are re- versed. TO REMOVE A WHEEL. First, remove the hub cap by unscrewing with the spanner fur- nished, remove the lock washer, undo and throw back the hasp attached to the wheel fastening, and then unscrew the wheel from the wheel fastening, which will aUow its being removed. 77810—17 4 26 TO REMOVE A WHEEL FASTENING. The wheel having been removed as directed above, withdraw the 0.25 spUt pin; the wheel fastening, being in halves and hinged at the bottom, can then be removed from the axle. ADJUSTMENT OF SIGHTS.

The 3.8-inch gun limber is of the same general design as the 3-inch gun Hmber, Model of 1902, and therefore the description of the latter, given in handbook 1659, will be used for the 3.8-inch gun limber. The 3.8-inch has a few differences, however, in the chest, the wheels, and location of the tools, which are described below. The differences in the wheels and the wheel fastenings are the same as described for the gun carriage in this handbook. The chest door is hinged at the top and swings upward and to the front. The chest front and door have not the corrugations men- tioned in handbook 1659, but the door has riveted to its inner face tees, called bearing plates, which not only serve to strengthen the door but are so spaced that their stem falls between the vertical rows of cartridges and their flange rests against the head of the cartridge, securing the latter in position (when the door is closed) and protect- ing the cartridge percussion cap. The door is held closed by two lock bars hinged to the bottom of the chest. A hasp and two eccentric lugs are formed upon each of these bars. In locking the door the lugs come into contact with its lower edge pressing it forward, while the hasp engages a wing nut on its rear face. On the left lock bar is riveted a chain, to the end of which is attached a padlock and a bolt snap. The padlock may be slipped through an eye in the wing nut, which will lock the hasp in position. The capacity of this limber is 18 cartridges. The capacity of the 3-inch gun limber is 39 cartridges. The differences in the location of the tools are as follows: The ax is carried in brackets on the left side of the chest 30 The pickax is carried in brackets under the chest to the k^ft of the middle rail, the shovel being carried to the right of the rail. The hatchet is carried in two brackets riveted to the front of the chest, and the pole prop is carried in brackets attached near the rear edge of the top plate. The oil cans are carried in a holder made of flange steel riveted to the right side of the chest. No ammunition is carried in limbers used with the gun, since the weight would be too great.

The first three paragraphs in the description of the 3.8-inch gun limber will also apply to the caisson, the description of the 3-inch gun caisson. Model of 1902, in handbook 1659 being used. The following paragraphs in regard to the ammunition chest will take the place of the corresponding ones in handbook 1659: The caisson ammunition chest is rectangular, and is built up of flange steel formed to shape and riveted together in a similar manfier to that of the limber, but is larger, having provision for 40 rounds of ammunition arranged in 4 horizontal rows of 10 rounds each. The front of the chest is made of armor plate 0.15 inch thick. A steel angle is riveted to the armor plate all around its edge and the projecting leg of the angle, riveted to the body of the chest. Three steel tees placed vertically and riveted to the inside of the front plate give stiffness to the latter. Inside of the chest the cartridges are supported by three vertical diaphragms flanged all around and riveted to the body of the chest. Each diaphragm is perforated with 40 flanged cartridge holes. Cor- responding holes in the middle and rear diaphragms are connected by conical brass connecting pieces which are similar to those used in the limber chest. The front and middle diaphragms are rigidly braced to each other by two flanged steel braces riveted between the two. To the front and middle diaphragms are riveted vertically three steel tees and to the rear diaphragm four steel tees. Nine instead of seven steel tees are riveted to the inner face of the door. The description of the bracket fuze setter and attachments in handbook 1659 will be disregarded, as there is no bracket fuze setter on this caisson. OTHER 3.8-INCH GUN MATERIEL. The following vehicles are also used in the 3.8-inch batteries: The 3.8-inch gun forge limber. Model of 1902, The 3.8-inch gun battery wagon, Model of 1902, The 3.8-inch gun store limber. Model of 1902, and The store wagon. Model of 1902. The descriptions of these vehicles will be found in handbook 1659 under the following names : The 3.8-inch gun forge limber. Model of 1902, under the head of 3-inch gun and 3.8-inch howitzer, forge limber, Model of 1902. The 3.8-inch gun battery wagon, Model of 1902, under the head of 3-inch gun battery wagon. Model of 1902. 34 The 3.8-inch gun store Ihnber,, model of 1902, under the head of 3-mch gun and 3.8-mch howitzer store hmber, model of 1902. The store wagon, model of 1902, will be found under the same heading in the handbook. On all four vehicles, however, the wheels are 58 mches in diameter instead of 56 inches, as given for the 3-inch gun materiel. As the hubs and wheel fastenings on the 58-inch wheels are of another type, th^ axles are necessarily different. In all other respects these vehicles conform to the descriptions mentioned above. REPAIRS FOR FIELD ARTILLERY MATERIEL ISSUED TO THE UNITED STATES ARMY AND THE NATIONAL GUARD. The following is an addition to the instructions found in Form No. 1659: A small amount of oil should be put in each wheel before using, as this is the only way to insure that the wheels are properly lubricated unless they are removed. After any test that requires retracting the gun, the recoil cylinder should be refilled, since in this position the three holes in the piston rod which permit oil to flow from the interior to the rod into the cylinder when filUng are in front of the piston-rod gland, thus per- mitting some oil to escape. METHOD OF LOADING ONE 3.8-INCH GUN BATTERY ON WAR FOOTING FOR TRANSPORTATION BY RAIL. The flat cars usually obtained from railroad companies vary in length from 34 to 44 feet. Cars longer than 42 feet are unusual. It is desirable that cars 40 feet in length be obtained if possible. In loading a battery on cars during service operations gun sections should be kept together when possible. Pursuing this idea, a 3.8-inch gun battery may be loaded as follows when cars at least 34 feet in length are obtained : Gun and carriage. Gun lim- ber. Gun cais- Forge son. 1 limber. Battery wagon. Store Um- ber. store wagon. First flat car 1 1 1 1 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 Second flat car Third flat car Fourth flat car 1 Fifth flat car 1 1 :::.: i ::. Sixth flat car 1 1 Total 4 16 12 1 ' 1 I One box car is to carry harness and all accessories of the vehicles which are not carried in the compartments of these vehicles or rigidly attached to them. 35 The fifth and sixth cars will be only about three-fourths filled if 34-foot cars are procured. The additional space may be utilized as the battery commander sees fit. • If cars 'ess than 34 feet long are obtained one limber and one caisson will have to be omitted. If cars 44 feet long are obtained one additional limber or caisson can be loaded on each. In loading the cars, if there are permanent loading platforms along the railroad tracks in the vicinity, the vehicles should be run onto these platforms and loaded from them. If there is no permanent platform in the vicinity it will be necessary to build a temporary ramp. This shoidd be built at the side of the track and the vehicles run on near one end of the car. When loading short cars it may be necessary to remove the pole of the limber last loaded in order to get the limber onto the car. The pole should be replaced in its socket, however, as soon as the vehicle is placed in position. When loading the cars care must be taken to so load them that there can be no movement of the vehicles on the cars longitudinally, transversely, or vertically. All vehicles, trails of carriages, poles of limbers, and lunettes of caissons and wagons must be secured to the floor of the car. The vehicles are secured as follows: Two by four inch timbers nailed to the floor of the car on both sides of all wheels hold the wheels securely against transverse motion. Two by four inch chocks, nailed to the 2 by 4 inch pieces which lie along the sides of the wheels, hold the wheels against longitudinal motion. For the end vehicles of each section of three vehicles four 4 by 4 inch chocks should be used. A 2 by 4 inch crosspiece placed on the feUoes between the two lowest spokes of both wheels of each vehicle and bolted to the floor of the car with two one-half-inch bolts holds the wheels against ver- tical motion. These bolts should, if possible, be bolted through the crosspieces on the outside of the wheels. If bolts for holding these crosspieces can not be obtained they should be securely nailed down with 7 or 8 inch spikes. Each pole and lunette should be secured to the floor by nailing two 2 by 4 inch blocks to the floor, one on each side, and one 2 by 4 inch piece across the top, near the end of each pole and lunette. The trails should be secured to the floor by using four 2 by 4 inch blocks, nailing one close up in the rear, one longitudinally along each side, and one across their top in the rear of the trail. Four 2 by 6 inch timbers brace the wheel hubs of the tw^o end vehicles on each car. The hub ends should be hoUowed out, the lower ends being spread well apart, forming lateral as well as longitudinal braces and nailed to the floor of the car and to four cleats which are nailed to the floor of the car. For carrying all harness and all accessories of the vehicles which are not carried in compartments of these vehicles or rigidly attached 36 to them one box car should be obtained. The materiel in this box car should be packed in boxes if on hand. In case no box car can be obtained ill of the harness, etc., should be packed in boxes and placed on the flat cars near the vehicles. These boxes must be securely fastened to the floor of the car to prevent them from sliding off the car or from striking and injuring the vehicles. To load a 3.8-inch gun battery on war footing will require 1,150 linear feet of 2 by 4 inch lumber, 200 linear feet of 2 by 6 inch lumber, and 50 linear feet of 4 bv 4 inch lumber. EQUIPMENT.
