The encyclopædia britannica; a dictionary of arts, sciences, literature and general information . are much favoured in the Britishservice for guns of types (a) and (i); one of the most Barbeltemodern is shown in fig. 84, where a 9-2 gun, Mark X., placed upon a Mark V. mounting, a combination which toj«admits of over five aimed rounds in two minutes. The British g-2° Gun.—Fig. 84 shows a general view of themounting, fig, 85 a longitudinal section through the cradle on alarger scale. The gun, which is trunnionless, carries a cross-head Aand recoils in the cradle C, being supported by its guides D, whichslide in longitudinal grooves in the cradle. To this cross-head isattached the buffer cylinder B (see fig. 85) which recoils with thegun, while the piston rod L is attached to the front of the cradle:engaging with the buffer cylinder and in the same axial line is abronze casting containing two air chambers F and G: the casting isattached to the rear of the cradle, which is supported by trunnionsE in the lower carriage. Thus on firing, the gun carries the buffer. Fig. 82.—Krupp Cupola for two 28-cm. Guns. GARRISON MOUNTINGS] ORDNANCE 229
