Excerpt from Instructions for Mounting, Using and Caring for Disappearing Carriage: L. F., Model of 1896 for 12-Inch Guns, Models of 1888 and 1895The emplacement on which this carriage is mounted is constructed entirely of concrete. Plate II shows the general design of the emplacement, although the shape of the rear of the loading platform varies somewhat with the location of the emplacement and the posi tion of the corridors leading to it. A circle of nine steps leads from the loading platform down to the platform surface on which the carriage is mounted. The counterweight well, around the top of which the base ring rests, is in the center of the platform surface.The anchor bolts which hold the base ring in place are set in the concrete as the emplacement is constructed. The openings in which the wedges are afterwards set are made with molds and are the depth of the least height of the lower wedge.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
