KRUPP FIRM TAKES OUT

shows the weapon is primarily designed
Tor carrying on the long discussed war
In the air." Its principal feature is the
absence OF recoil, which has been the chief
obstacle to the installation Of regular guns
or artillery on a deitcatey balanced aero
plane or balloon.
The new weapoh is self propellinR and
can be fired fromIR dirigible or aeroplane
against hostile balloon without disturb
ing the stability of the machine from
which 1t is projected. Experiments have
been carried on since November, 1909
Ranges of 5000 yards, with a torpedo carry
ing a six-pound load of explosives were
attained in the early stages Of the ex-
periments
The torpedo, which, acts on the principle
OF the ordinary sky rocket is composed
OF two portions, the explosive head and a
rear chamber containing a slow burning
powder charge the gases from which issue
through tubes at the rear and drive the
projectile through the air.
A launching device operated by q light
powder charge or on dirigibles by cleo
tricity gives the torpedo its original start
and direction, the burning powder charge
then maintaining the flight at a con-
stantiy increasing speed.
The gas tubes are set at an angle. giving
