Another French military invention
is on record. This time it is not the
machine gun, but the army rifle, and
again the inventor steps out from the
ranks. Corporal Grissolange, of the
first Colonial Infantry, has devised 4
method of greatly increasing the ca
pacity of small arms for rapid firing.
Instead OF one magazine holding eight
cartridges. as at present, Grissolange
provides three magazines holding al
together eighteen cartridges. which by
an easy mechanism worked with
great rapi1ity, are brought up in sue
cession to the feeding tube. The army
commission on military inventions has
just notified Grissolange that the Min
lister of War has placed his invention
before the commission. with iHstruc-
tions tn examine and report upon it.
