MAJORITY HErOHT Or THE NAVAL BOARD FOH
TESTING MACHINE Guns.
Washington. August 1.-THE report Of the Naval
Board which spent the month of July In testing
machine guns made public to-day.
The M jorlty OF the board concluded that the
efficiency OF automatic machine guns n.ces-
sary much greater than that Of any gun
worked by hand that nothing but strong pre-
sumption that the better gun would not remain
efficient under the rough usage and exposure inc
dent TO service could Justify the adoption OF the
Inferior but less complicated. weapon. In arriving
at this conclusion. due weight given to the
advantages OF multi-barrel systems. The Maxim
Nordenfedt gun not only proved Itself greatly SUI
peror to all others submitted but the only bitches
observed attributed to defective ammuni-
don.
The board considered the suggested adoption OF
two systems. for board ship and the
other for landing purposes but the increase IN
volume Of fire in the Calling and Acces the
Maxim proved so slight that the simplicity due to
the OF single gun appeared offer
the greater advantage
The board therefore recommended the adoption
of the Maxim Nordenfeldt gun. and that all
chine guns for naval service be OF this type.
tnsent upon the OF It's sx-millinetrc cali
brc.
The relative value Of the guns tested Axcd
follows: Maxim Nordenfe;dt. Calling. Accles
Skoda automatic single barred. Robertson and
Gardner.
The minority report dlsscnted from the
incubation in favor OF the Maxim and declared that
although In the automatic guns the facility OF
aiming II greater, they are lighter and require
smaller crews. and that the Calling. which has
long been In use in the Navy. is best.
In transmitting the report TO the Secretary Com
modorc Sampson, Chief of Ordnance Endorsed II az
follows:
the members Of the board have failed to agree
two OF the board recommending the Maxim
gun and the third member recommending the Cat
ling. None OF the guns submitted OF the
calibre adopted for naval service, viz: Six MILL
metre. 02S6 inch. but varied from 80 inch TO
03b inch As the difference in calibrc and ammuni-
lion may considerably influence he efficiency OF
the 81 n, the bureau recommends that the owners
OF each OF these guns. the Calling and Maxim, be
invited TO construct gun OF six millimetrc cali
bre. 10 be tested In competition. The guns to
ammunition TO be furnished by the Bureau Mt the
expense Of the exhibitors. As the agents OF the
Accles improved Calling gun have requested that
a new Accles gun OF six millimetre be tried, IL is
further recommended that ench OF the exhibitors
be permitted 20 present gun OF six mlllinetre
under the same conditions the Calling and
Maxim. the date OF such trial to be at as early IA
day as the guns can be manufactured"
