The tests were made in the Offices
Of Redding, Greeley * Austin, coun-
sci for Mr.. Maxim. on the eighth floor
OF the Potter Building. in Park row,
and it was cause for wonder among
those present that the noise made by
the explosion of the rifles without the
"silencer" did not arouse the other
tenants in the building.
The "silencer" is a metal tube
about seven inches long and an inch
and a quarter in diameter, which can
be fastened quickly to the end OF a
rifle barrel which has been provided
with thread for that purpose.
II is declared that the velocity or
the bullet is not lessened in the least
degree. as the gases have done all
their work on the projectile before
they reach the "silencer."
