Lock can be easily stripped with the hand screw which forms the axis pin of the trigger bar lever. Top pawls are made with finger pieces, and can be pressed down by hand to allow belt to be released, having only one spring, which is removable. Fusee spring can be adjusted without removing box, as the vice pin of screw is loose. Fusee has a clutch fixture, and is easily removable. No tools required to strip lock or change barrel. Gun cannot be fired unless cover is down. Greater general strength, especially in recoiling portions. Sighted to 2,900 yards. TO MOUNT AND DISMOUNT GUN. As for Maxim (page 16). TO LOAD AND UNLOAD GUN. To Load Gun. Pass tag end of belt through feed block from right side. Pull crank handle on to roller with right hand. Pull belt straight through as far as it will go with left hand. Let go crank handle; the first cartridge will then be gripped by extractor. Repeat as above; the first cartridge will then be in chamber and another gripped by upper part of extractor. Gun is then ready for firing. To Unload Gun. Pull crank handle on to roller twice in succession (without pulling belt), letting it fly forward to check lever each time. Press up bottom pawls and remove belt from feed block, then release lock spring. TO CLEAN. As for Maxim (page 17). MUZZLE ATTACHMENT. A steel muzzle attachment for ball firing is provided to assist recoil. When attachment is fitted on gun, the gland replaces the packing gland. The muzzle cup is fixed to barrel by a clamping screw, body of which lies in a circular groove on barrel, thus preventing muzzle cup from being blown off should clamping screw become loose. Outer casing is attached to gland by an interrupted flange and spring-keeper pin. Front cone screws into front end of outer casing, and, to protect its face from erosion, is covered by a thin steel disc, which, when badly eroded, can be replaced by a spare one. Gland and front cone have flanges which are grooved to receive the combination tool provided for assembling and stripping purposes. FUSEE SPRING. On the left of breech casing there is a strong spiral spring called the fusee spring, the rear end of which is connected by the fusee chain and fusee with the crank; the fore-end is attached to the breech casing by means of the fusee spring box and adjusting screw, which passes through the front end of fusee spring box, and through the nut at the front end of spring. The fusee spring can be adjusted without removing the box, as the vice pin of the screw is loose. This screw is kept in position by two nibs which fall into recesses, by the tension of the fusee spring. The fusee is attached to the crank by means of a stem and lugs, and is easily removed.
