GENERAL INSTRUCTiONS.

Practicalinstruction in the equipmentshouldbe given toeach recruitboforo any’ attempt is madeto instruct him ingun drill. In teachingthedutiesof eq9hman at thegun,

- the instructor should try to do so by roasoningrather than~ by a long explanationin words. By meansof questionsp he should try to draw froth the recruit the Correct~, answersasto his duties,beingcarefulto loadtheman’smind~ into the desiredchannelof thought. Shouldthis attempt~ fail, theinstructorshould give a demonstrationemphasizing> thepointstherecruithasnot grasped. Suchdemonstrations~ should dealwith the work of eachmanin thedetachment;~ andall menunderinstructionshould, in turn, carry out the

- ~3 work of eachparticularman.~) Instructionin gun drill shouldbegiven assoon asthemen

areconvorsantwith all partsof theequipment,andcanhandlein thebestandquickestmannereachof theworkingpartsofthe gun. Oncethe work of eachman hasbeenthoroughlymastered,it should not takelong for the recruit to learnthe actualdrill.

It is mostimportant that a markeddistinctionshould bedrawn betweeninstructionanddrill.

During the former the languageusedshould be as simpleaspossible,andthe meaningof all technicaltermswhicharenecessarymust be carefully explained. A conversationaltone should be adoptedand in no circumstanceswhatever

(a27—13) A 2

4

should anythingin the natureof long quotationsfrom drillbooksbe allowed. Themen should be permittedto assumean easyattitude andtheir interest should not be allowedto flag. They should beencouragedto ask questions.

At drill, on thecontrary, rigid- discipline must be main.tamed,ordersmustbeclearanddecisive,andthedetachmentsmadeto work steadily, smartlyand rapidly. At the sametime the utmost accuracyis essentialand any deviationsfrom the methodslaid down mustat once be checked.

CHAPTER II.—GUN DRILL.Artillery Training lays down thmo principles of battery

tactics, which vary little with different equipments. Thischapterdetails time ordersgivenamid the procedureby whichthese orders are carried out in batteries armed with the18-pr. Q.F. gun, Mark IV. -

The proceduremustbe memorizedandstrictly adheredto.The executiveorder is shownthroughoutas being given

by the section commander,‘as will normally be the easeduring training. Whenorderscan be heardthroughout thebattery, they will be acted upon without repetition. In-structorswill invariably employ time ordersdetailed for timesectioncommander,evenwhen drilling a single detachment.

(v) Wheels.If a gunwhecl is damaged,turn it at once so that the

soundestportion bears time weight of the guru. Procure asparewheelfrom alimber or wagonand replacetho damagedwheel as follows :— -

Raiso tim carriageby lifting our the damagedwheel (orby meansof mu jack if available). Support the axle by meansof the barsupportingpolo, placing time lower end our a shovelto preventit sinking into time ground. The damagedwheelcan then be removedatid replaced. -

If time damageis such that time axle has fallen to timeground it mayb~raisedby means-ofa limber as follows:—

Placetire limber so that time limber hook is over the pointof the axle of time gun. Scotchtire limber wheelsto preventthem running forward. Raise the polo through an angleof about 80 degrees,having first secured a dragropewithwimicim to iraul it down. Securethe axle to the limber imoekby meansof a dragropoandthen hauldown on the pole.

39. DISABLEMENT.-Time extent of disablement ordered will depend on the

time availableamid tire probabilityof recapture.To disable the gun so that it can be brought into action

40. BLANK AMMUNITION.

1. No officer, non-commissionedofficeror gunnerwhohasnot bee-ri trained and passedin gun drill is to commandasection or form part of a gun detachmentfiring blankammunitionat salutesor at training.

2. When firing Q.P. blank cartridgesno gun is to bere-loadedwitlrin 15 secondsafter firing. Even after thisinterval, no gun is to ho re-loadeduntil I imas examinedtime chamber and bore and removedany debris remainingfrômrm timo previoumsround.

3. In time eventof a miss-fire, a further attempt shouldbe made to. fire the gun in its turn. In no casemust timebreech be opened for at least one minute witim blackpowder,and ten mimruteswith smokelesseimarges. No onemust be in re-au-ci time breechwimen it is opened. 1mm timingsalutes,an officer or seniornon-comnmnissionedofficer slrouldbe detailed for the special duty of timi~ngthe interval aftera miss-fire and informing I of that gun when the breecimmay be opened. -

4. As a further safeguard, I is responsible that the-charge is properly home in the easebeforo the round isloaded. This can be done by pressingdown the leatherboardcup on time point of the traversinglever, -a small markbeing made under local arrangementson each traversinglever, to indicate when tIre chargejam its correctposition.

- SETTING TESTS.

1. In everybatterytime-re simould be at leastsix qualifiedlayersandninequalifiedfuzesettersin eaelmsub-section,cxciii-sive of serjeantsand iance-serjemrnts. A list of layers shouldbekept. All layers,fuzosetters,sectioncommanders,serjcant-sandlanee-serjeantssimould betestedperiodically.

2. All officers and Nos, I must be thorougimly conversantwith :— -

(1) The tests for and careof sightinggear andsights.(ii) Time methodsof obtaining parallel lines of fire.

(iii) M.V. correctorsand correctionri for jump and droop.

3. Layerswill be tested by meansof two tests: Test Awill consistof four lays indirect, testB of two lays direct.

4. A maximum of 20 markswill be given for eachlay intest A, and 10 marks for eacim lay in test B. In ordertoqualify, a layermust obtain 81 marks.

Tire (luties of 2 will beconsideredas part of eachtest.5. The examinersimoumld be assistedby an officer or senior

non.comnrissionedofficer with a stop wateim and recordbook, and by mm, penciller wimo will take down all ordersgiven for referencewhen checking the lay.

6. Wimen laying indirect, three or more aiming pointsshould beselectedto tire rearandon either flank, if possible,

(vii) To replenish liquid lostby leakagewithout releas-ing the air pressure.

Leakage from the r-e-e-uperator,if not excessive-,can bemacic up by meansof tire se-re-is’ pump. It is not necessaryto re-leasetheair pre-ssurofor thispurpose.Proceedasfollows:Tine- pump shorrid ho filled, turned nozzle upwards, and afew turns given to tine screw in order to remove any - air.Removeplug L andscrewthe pump into placein thefillinghole.

this may lead to dangerouspressuresin theair cylinderand consequentdamageto the equipment.

Norn.—Aircannotescape-unlesstine-re is afault in valveK.Taking air pressuretoo often is to be deprecated,as somepressureis invariably lost on each occasion. The correctposition of the tail rod should be taken to mean that theree-uperatoris in serviceableworking order, andif the tailrod is not in the correct position it is probably due to liquidleakagefrom the roe-operatorcylinder.

(1) To fill the huller.

Level the guni lorrgitmrdinally and transversely. Removethe filling-hole plmrg fronmr the tank. See that the isolatingvalve is opon. Open the snifting valve to allow any air inthe buffer eylindor to escapeamid pour in oil nmntil aboutmali-way up time inspectionglass. l~eplacotime filling plug.About (i~pints of oil arerequiredto chargethe buffer amidtanrk.

Leakage [mom the buffer is automaticali- madeup frourtheoil reservoirwhen theisdiunting valve-is open.

Slmould the oil reservoiror the- pipe connectionoh the- oilreservoirbedamaged,tine- buffercan bechargedby removingthe isolating valve and using a funnel. Care- should betaken to see that time isolating valve is replacedbefore firing.

(ii) Cut.off gear.

The cut-off gear is correctly adjusted if, at ~iOdegreeselevation as indicated on tine- elevation arc, tho mob in thesmall lover on tine- front endof tinc piston rod is directly overthe hole in the front cradle- cap.

If tire rod of the cutofh gear be- damaged,tine- position ofthe pistonmaybe sot for a constantrecoil. To do this takeout tire pin from time- front end of tine- rod, turn the smallhover err the- piston io~luntil time hole agreeswith time imoloin tire front cradlecap and insert the pin in this hole. Inthis positionthe cut-off gear givesthe shortestrecoil.

(iii) Glands.

Glandsshould bo tightenedwhennecessary. it is betterto do this when the cradle is warm, as the pure-Icings then

To tiglmten imp time- glands:—Opcathe- doorprovide-clin timeundersideof time front cradlecap arid tiglmten up time glandby meansof a tommy. If a glamrd hasbee-nover-tiglmtemmedandit is desiredto slackenit, time springparvlmustbepushedup umnd twisted to lock it be-fore- time giumncl can be turned.

If a leakageoccursat time glandsammcl tightening imp doesnot preventit, a supplementarypackingring simould beusedor if a supplementarypackingis alreadyin use,time defectivepaekimrg should ho re-ne-we-rh.

7. THE AIR PUMP.

Before starting woric, an externalexaminationshould beremadeto seethat timo imnip is cleain aridserviceable.

Wine-nassemblingcaremust be takento seethat all partsare cleanand well lubricated. Working parts will requirefurther lubricatiomr during pmmcnping.

To obtain time be-st resultsit is essentialto employ a fullstroke in working the- pump, i.e., from atop to stop.

When cimarginga systemit is be-st to comrtimiuo without astop until time desiredpressure-is re-ached,ehammgingtine me-nif fatigued. If n stop is mmnavoidable,note thepressureandclosevalve K. Before continuing, pumptime pi-csstnm-ein timepipe rip to time pressurenotedbefore openingvmmlve K.

If there-is anyfalling off in the- working pressure,examinetime valves. If gritty, time valves and springs should be-removedandcleaned. If necessary,valve-sshouldbe- ligirtlygroundin andcoatedwith tlmin oil.~ If tins doesnot improvetime efficiency of the pump, tine lnistonshould beremovedand

The- pump must be replacedin its box immediately afteruse.

Tue pump should beworkedafew strokesdaily to ensurethat the packingsarekept underpressure.
