. Modern mechanism, exhibiting the latest progress in machines, motors, and the transmission of power, being a supplementary volume to Appletons' cyclopaedia of applied mechanics . Fig. 18 —Whitmore gun. it into cock positivelv in case a sear-spnngshould break. The mainsprings being swiveled to the hammers, friction is reduced, conse-quentlv the gun cocks with remarkable ease. A strong block of steel is forced over the trig-gers by the double bolt pushing a steel rod on opening the gun. By holding on to thehammers and closing the barrels, the hammers can be let down without snapping. The safetycan be made automatic or independent by turning a small screw in the lock-plate in front ofthe trigger-guard. The Baker Gun, made bv the Baker Forging and Gun Co., of Batavia, N. Y., is chiefly re-markable for its simple consti-uction and low price. The rebounding-lock has but four mechanism is clearly shown in Fig.
