Abstract: 5974. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., and Castilho, S. A. de March 9 Ordnance breech mechanism.-Relates to combined electric and percussion firing mechanism for guns with wedge breech-mechanism, and consists in a system of toggle-levers whereby a spindle may be rotated first in one direction to enable the firing-pin to be pushed forward to fire electrically, and then in the reverse direction to cock the firing-pin against the action of its spring and then release it for percussion firing. In the form shown in sectional plan in Fig. 2, and in side elevation in Fig. 3, the sliding breech-block a is operated by a twoarmed lever c pivoted at c<1> to the block, and carrying a roller c<3> working in a cam-groove b<2> in the breech casing b. The insulated firing-pin e is enclosed in a sheath f and is normally held out of contact with the cartridge by a spring h. A collar i on the sheath f carries a spring plunger i<1> engaging a hook j<1> on an arm j integral with a spindle k mounted on the block a. This spindle is connected to a spring- controlled firing-lever m pivoted to the block a by toggle - links k', l. When the lever m is rotated rearwards, which rotation may be produced by the engagement during run-out of an arm m<3> with an arm on the mounting, the lever k<1> moves rearwardly, rotating the hook j<1> out of the path the plunger i<1>, and causing a strong spring j<2> mounted on the arm j to press forwards the collar i, and hence the firing-pin e, for electric firing. Continued motion of the lever m causes the rotation of the lever k<1> to be reversed; the hook j<1> then engages the plunger i<1> and retracts the firing-pin e against the action of its spring h until the hook releases the plunger, whereupon the pin e flies forwards for percussive firing. The arm j has a rearward extension j<3> engaging a groove in the breech casing to prevent firing until the breech is closed.

Affixing by adhesives. -A machine for applying gummed strips d, Figs. 1, 3, and 7, so as to connect side parts a, b to a middle part c, to form a blank for making rectangular cardboard boxes, comprises a sliding plate 4, which conveys the positioned parts beneath disks 12, to which the gummed strips are fed from spools 35, and which presses them on to the joints. The pieces a, b are arranged in two piles between two sets of guides 2, 3 on the sides of the plate 4, and the pieces c are placed by hand on the middle of the plate, the distance between the plates 3 being equal to the width of the pieces c, and the thickness of these plates being that of the pieces of cardboard. When the plate 4 moves inwards, claws 6, 5 on it push the positioned pieces a, b, c through suitable apertures into position beneath the disks 12. The plate 4 is reciprocated by means of an arm 71 rocked by means of a roller 72 engaging a grooved cam 7 rotated by toothed wheels from the main shaft 8. The gummed tapes are fed from the spools 35 over moistening-devices 36 by means of pairs of disks 38, 38<d> rotated intermittently in one direction from the shaft 16 of the disks 12 by means of a crank 39, connecting-rod 40, toothed segment 43, and toothed wheel 44. The strips are cut into lengths by fixed cutters 49, movable cutters 50, and a yielding counterplate 51, the cntters 50 being reciprocated by means of levers 52<a> connected to eccentrics 53. The disks 12, Figs. 3 and 4, for applying the strips have one. part 12<a> of the circumference of larger diameter than the remainder, and each is provided with a spring-retracted clamping-piece 17 for gripping the adhesive strips. These clamping- pieces are operated at the required time by connexion with a shaft 20 mounted in the disks 12 and oscillated by a short crank 21, Fig. 4, bearing against a cam 22. The gummed strips slide from the cutters down shoots 55 until stopped by arms 28 mounted on a shaft 29 oscillated by a cam 25, Fig. 4, on the shaft 16. The arms 28 are connected to adjustable levers 31, which are moved inwards as the arms 28 move outwards and grip the strips d with the parallel edges of their bent ends 32. The toe 17<a> of the clamping-piece 17 then grips the end of the strip d and draws it down, so that, when the rotation of the disk brings it to the lowest position, it is pressed on the blanK, which is drawn along between the disks 12 and a roller 13. The pieces 17 release the strips d immediately the disks 12 and roller 13 grip it. The blank is finally passed through a series of rollers 56. The walls 3 are made adjustable by screws, and the spools 35 are also mounted on rotatable screw spindles so that blanks of different size can be made. The middle parts c may be piled between the walls 3 so that they need not be fed by hand.
