UNPRECEDENTED ACCIDENT

the Sticking of the Gas-Check Pad
Mechanism to Be Examined-General
Crozier's Explanation.

Brig. Gen. William Crozier. Chief of
Ordnance. United States Army, yesterday
consented to make a statement explain
ato-y OF the accidents to the breech
mechanism of a 1O-inch disappearing
rife and the carriage of a Pinch dis
appearing rifle at Fort Wright. Fishers
Island, y. Y, during the tests made this
week by the board of which Gen. Wal
lace Randolph is chairman.
The Boards Program.
General Crozier said:
1.-THE board for testing disappearing
carriages, in accordance with q provi-
sion of the latest act making appro-
priations for Notifications and their
armament. etc, is following an extern
sive program, involving a good deal of
firing from six, eight, ten, and twelve
inch guns, mounted upon both barbatte
and disappearing carriages.
The program has been successfully
carried out as far as 1t involves the
six, eight, ten. and twelve inch bar
bette carriages and the six and eight
have been encountered in endeavoring
TO carry out the program with reference
to ten and twelve inch disappearing car
riages.
THE firing of guns mounted upon
each of these last named carriages is to
take place at Fort K G. Wright, AMI on
Tuesday and Wednesday the board made
an effort to accomplish it: it was pre-
vented from doing so by difficulty CT
the breech mechanism of the 10-inch
gun and by trouble with the 12-iuch
carriages. The trouble with the breech'
mechanism was due to the sticking OF
the gas-check pad.
Accident to Carriage.
'As regards tie accident to the 12-
inch disappearing carriage, 1t is well
known that the resistance which checks
the recoil of a gun is offered by the
force necessary to draw the pistons
through two hydraulic cylinders through
the liquid with which the cylinders are
filled; the liquid, which is a variety of
petroleum product. being forced from
one side to the other of the cylinders
through small openings. portion of
the liquid is also allowed to pass from
the front to the rear end of the cylinder
through pipe, at one point CT which
there is placed tapered valve.
by opening or closing the valve a
greater or less amount of oil is allowed
to pass from the front to the rear of
the cylinders without being forced
through the orifices in the pistons, and
thus the length of the recoil is in

where capital has learned the economic
