DEPARTMENT OF ORDNANCE AND GUNNERY DIDNT USE WOOL SOAP. ' FAUNTLEY Cdescribing shrinkageb-To shrink the jacket on the tube. the jacket is lirst carefully heated to swell it, and dipped in a tank of oil or soap solution. It is then put on the tube before it has time to dry. PARTLY CORRECT. GALLOGLY-There are two methods employed in assembling the tube and jacket. namely, breech insertion and muzzle insertion. In the case of breech insertion the breech of the jacket is slipped over the muzzle of the gung or. to be more concise, the jacket is stood on end over a pit and the breech of the tube lowered into the muzzle of the jacket. The other, muzzle insertion. is accom- plished by slipping the muzzle of the jacket over the breech of the tube, this is done by standing the tube on end over a deep pit and lowering the muzzle of the tube into the breech of the jacket. -1 i -7. l'Zv' X ir' IV ll f t f ,,?fi3? 1 ' .fi- ,ff WM - ff if A METHOD OF DEDUCTION.
