‘rime howitzer is made of steel, and consists of a im A tube, overwhichi is shrunk a B tube. Over t i m eB tube is slu’unk a jmmckct, t i m ewhole being secured longitudinally by means of shoulders on the Aand B tubes, and a steel bush screwed into t i m eB tube and jacket att i m erear; the bush is also prepared for the reception of t i m e breechscrew. A breech ring, for attaching the howitzer to time hydraulicbuffers, is fitted over the rear portion of t i m ebreech bush and screwedto time jacket. The breech ring and bush arc prevented from turning,when in position, by a steel stud screwed through the breech ring, andpartly into the bush and jacket, at the rear.
The breech ring is furnished with lugs for the attachment of thebreech fittings.
Longitudinal projections formed on the sides of the jacket act asguides for the howitzer when in the cradle of the carriage; projectionswhich servo as a plane for clinometor and seatings for the foresightbrackets, respectively, are also formed on the up~cr side of the jacket,at the front end.
The chathber is cylindrical, terminating in f i ’o i ’ i twith a curvedslope.

Encircling t i m erear eimd of t i m e breech screw, and hinged to t i m ebreecim ring, is a carrier m’ing whiclm supports the screw w h e m mwitimdm’awii.
T i m ecarrier ring is heiil to the howitzer, during time witimdrawmmiof t i m ebreech screw, by means of a clip, fitted to time left side of them i m m g ,engaging with a recess in a pm’ojectionon the rear face of timebreecimring.

Time imouvitzem’is sighted u m p o m mboth sides witim crossbar sights.‘flue tangent sigimts drop into sockets, amid are sot vertically. Time
veil icai bars are of steel, rectangular in section, and ale graduated(m u t i m e rear face to 10 degrees, reading to 10 minutes, and oh t h m eright side with a yard scale to ~,000 yards for a frill charge with amuzzle velocity of 782 feet seconds. Adjustment is effected bymacalmsof time “clamp, tangent sight, 1).” Time sights have bronze
heads witim clamping sem’ews,and a steel ]morizontal crossbar, w h m i c h mslides within the head to time extent of 1 degree to time right, a m m d3 degrees to t I m e left, for deflection. The bar is provided with asliding reversible leaf, having a notch for direct haying; this leafis provided with a pointed sight for rougim laying, and cross wires fortine laying, when used reversed. Time bar is graduated from 0 to 6might, for the right side, and 6 to 0 left, for the left side. The barsare reversible, being graduated upon one edge for the right side, amidon the opposite edge for the left side of time piece, mind m i r estampedaccordingly.
The foresights consist of a steel stein with horizontal l m n h fcrossbar(forged solid). The bam’is fitted with m msliding reversible leaf, havinga point, for use with t i m enotch of the tangent sight, for direct laying,and a i m o t e h ia m m deyc.lmo]o for rongh and fine laying, when usedreversed. The sights slide into grooves prepared for their reception,in t i m eforesight bracket, one of whicim is fitted, eu each side of t i m eclinometor plane, on the chase of the howitzer, and secured by meansof a dovetail mind fixing screw,.and are retained in position by meansof a spring cateh. In the event of the spring of time catch becomingweak or brokemi,it will be replaced by a spare spring in the followingmanner :—To remove time catch, knock out the small rivet in thehandle of the catchm by means of a blunt punch, wheim the catch amidspiral spring can be withdrawn. Insert new spring and replace the
catch, for which purpose a new rivet will b)e requmim’ed,t i m enecessarywire beimig allowed spare for this pUrpOSe. To release t i m esiglmts,thocatch m m m s tfirst be raised.
