THE CARRIAGE.
The gun is mounted upon a cradle which encloses the recoil and counter-recoil mechanisms. The device for elevating the gun through the angle between the horizontal and the line gun-target (angle of site) is interposed between the trail and the rocker while the device for giving the gun elevation for range is placed between the rocker and the cradle. This arrangement is known as the independent angle of site or independent line of sight. It has the advantage over the three-inch type in that it allows the range elevation to be altered without disturbing the elevation for site.
