The saddle, in which the gun rests, is pivoted to the yoke by means of the axis bolt, so as to swing in a vertical plane. The gun is held in position on the saddle by the gun pin, which is inserted with its handle vertical; in any other position of the handle the gun is held secure by the gun pin lock screw.
Changes of elevation are made by means of the worm gear, which engages in the teeth of the arc, and is operated by the hand wheel, being secured at any angle by the arc clamp.
The lower part of the yoke is in the form of a spindle, and fits in the socket of the tripod, being secured by a spindle washer and spindle washer bolt.
The tripod consists of a socket to which the legs are hinged. The two front ones being interchangeable, brass shoes are attached to prevent their sinking into the ground during firing.
A seat is attached to the lower portion of the rear leg, also a leather tool bag containing spare parts, etc.
Equipment.
4 feed belts (capacity 250 rounds per belt).
4 feed boxes, for feed belts.
1 leather tool bag, containing the spare parts and accessories.
