of which great things are expected, and
he is backed by a syndicate of New
Haven and Philadelphia capitalists. Ar
engagements are being made for public
trial soon near this city. At private

nance experts from Washington and
Philadelphia were present.
The larger OF the two guns is combi-

ers. The three barrels are cast in a
bronze jacket of about Is inches diameter
and feet in length. The mechanism
Tor loading and firing the rifle is con.
cealed in the case, and protected from
smoke and dirt. The mechanism is
operated by means of two cranks, located
on the right side of the gun. The one
operating the larger barrel is about the
center of the jacket; the one that loads
and fires the other two is at the breech.
Just under the center crank on either
side are two hoppers, from which the
two half pound caliber barrels are fed
WITH Ammunition.
The one-pounder barrel is hung on
trunnions and stills. A quarter turn of
the crank raises the breech andseiects
the empty shell. This is accomplished
by means of an oscillating breech- block
constructed 30 as to lock itself and cock
the firing mechanism, which is released
by lanyard,
Connected with the crank which ope-
rates the two smaller barrels is shaft
to which is attached two cams, each of
which caures a carrier to move back
ward and forward. The cartridge rolls
into the breech from the hopper, forcing
the old shell cut after it has been started
by the outward motion of the carrier,
and is forced into the breech by the re-
turn motion.
The three barrels can be fired at once
or separately, at the will of the gunner.
The two .half-pound barrels are capable
of being fred at the rate of $50 times
minute and the one-peunder 30 times
minute.
The one-pounder projectile is the same
as is used in the Hotchkiss, Nordenfeld
shot or explosive shell may be used. 1t
has an effective range of more than five
miles. Tho gun complete weighs half a
ton.
The other machine gun is of small
caliber, and weighs only fifty-four
pounds complete and ready for action.
1t is intended for field service, and can
easily be carried by squad of infantry
men. 1t is cabable of firing thousand
shots a minute. There are four barrels.
which shoot 30-caliber cartridge, s.ter
the style of the Lehel. They are sur.
rounded by an aluminium water Jacket
This is the first time this metal has been
used in gun construction. The four
barrels are operated by single crank.
are fed into the barrels on an
endless web belt.
Both guns will be taken to Europe
Soon, where they will be tested by the
authorities of one of the largest
powers On the Continent.
