BL 6 inch 80 pounder gun The BL 6 inch 80 pounder gun Mk I was the first generation of British 6 - inch breechloading naval gun after it switched from muzzle - loaders in 1880 . They were originally designed to use the old gunpowder propellants . Mk I 80 - pounder . Mk I of 80 cwt ( 4 tons ) as originally built was an Elswick Ordnance design which was weakly made and fired only an 80 - pound projectile . It consisted of a steel barrel with wrought - iron coils shrunk over it . A few guns were issued to the Royal Navy but most were replaced by the later versions . Mk I guns remaining in British service were rebuilt with " chase hoops " added around the barrel for strengthening , and the barrel was shortened by 3 inches to keep its centre of gravity at the trunnions . This resulted in the 81 cwt Mk I gun . The breech was rotated to the left to lock it , unlike standard British service BL guns made by the Royal Gun Factory which all rotated to the right to lock . These guns are commonly referred to as " 6 - in . 81 - cwt B . L . R . " in contemporaneous publications such as Brassey ' s Naval Annual . The official designation in British ordnance manuals was " 80 - pounder BL " to differentiate it and its ammunition from the later marks of 6 - inch BL guns which fired 100 - pound projectiles . 80 - pounder in Australian colonial service . Australian colonies and New Zealand purchased various 6 - inch guns direct from the manufacturers , usually Elswick Ordnance Company , and these versions do not correspond directly with the official " Marks " as adopted by the British government . Specifications of guns purchased by Australian colonies are similar to those of the original British Mk I 80 cwt gun , firing an 80 - pound projectile . The gun equipped some gunboats of the Australian colonial navies : Also on armed harbour vessels in Victoria :
Stridsvagn 74 Stridsvagn 74 ( strv 74 ) was a Swedish tank in use with the Swedish Army from 1958 to 1984 . It was a modification of the older stridsvagn m / 42 which was phased out of service in the 1950s . Instead of scrapping the vehicles altogether , the chassis were used to build a new tank which could be used as a supplement to the newly bought stridsvagn 101 . The turret of strv 74 was completely new , with a 75 mm high - velocity gun based on an old anti - aircraft gun , engines and transmission were modified or changed from the strv m / 42 , broader tracks and a separate electrical engine for the turret rotation was introduced while retaining the manual control as a backup . History . The Stridsvagn 74 ' s development path stretches through the Stridsvagn m / 40 and m / 42 to the original 16 , 257 kg / 16 - ton Lago tank , manufactured by the Swedish firm Landsverk for the Hungarian Army . The 74 was therefore in essence a modernized version of the World War II M / 42 tank which was itself an attempt to bring Swedish - produced tanks up to the standard of the rest of war - torn Europe . It was most successful in this role . Produced in 1958 , weighing and powered by a Scania - Vabis 239 kW / 320 . 5 hp diesel engine , the Stridsvagn 74 had a top speed of 45 kilometers per hour ( 28 miles per hour ) , and a range of 200 km / 124 . 3 miles . With a crew of four , it mounted a 75mm / 2 . 95in main gun and had three machine - guns in its updated turret , which was later further modified with a more sophisticated fire - control type system and an upgrading of the main armament to increase its velocity . Use . Stridsvagn 74 was used as a main battle tank in the Swedish Army armoured brigades the first few years until it was replaced by stridsvagn 102 and 103 . It was then used in independent corps tank companies , and even later degraded to the infantry support role in assault gun companies before being phased out of service in 1981 ( strv 74 V ) and 1984 ( strv 74 H ) . The turrets were retained and later used as static gun pillboxes , which were phased out and demolished in the early 2000s . Versions . Strv 74 was available in two almost identical versions , strv 74 H and strv 74 V , the only difference being the transmission . The H version was based on the strv m / 42 TH , and the V version was based on the strv m / 42 TV . Its high silhouette and thin body along with the recoil of the gun made it rock when firing the gun at 3 and 9 o´clock and it was sometimes referred as " " Sanslös " " ( Swedish for " The Reckless " ) by its crew .
Eduardo López Ochoa Eduardo López Ochoa y Portoundo ( 1877 , Barcelona – August 19 , 1936 ) was a Spanish general , Africanist , and prominent Freemason . He was known for most of his life as a traditional Republican , and conspired against the government of Miguel Primo de Rivera . At the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic in 1931 , López Ochoa was designated " capitán general " of Catalonia by Francesc Macià . He led troops to crush the insurrection in Asturias in October 1934 , after which the leader of the nascent Popular Front was jailed . The left felt betrayed , and began to regard López Ochoa as a rightist . His left - wing enemies nicknamed him " " el verdugo de Asturias " " ( " the butcher of Asturias " ) . At the same time , those on the right distrusted him for his Freemasonry , for having entered negotiations with the Asturian miners , and for punishing soldiers guilty of violent excesses . As a deterrent to further atrocities , López Ochoa had summarily executed a number of legionnaires and Moroccan colonial troops for torturing prisoners and hacking them to death . At the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War , López Ochoa was in a military hospital in Carabanchel and was awaiting trial , accused of responsibility for the deaths of 20 civilians at a barracks in Oviedo . Given the violence occurring throughout Madrid , the government attempted to move Ochoa from the hospital to a safer location but was twice prevented from doing so by large hostile crowds . A third attempt was made under the guise that Ochoa was already dead , but the ruse was exposed and the general was taken away . One account states that an anarchist dragged him from the coffin in which he was laying and shot him in the hospital garden . His remains were then displayed with a sign reading " This is the butcher of Asturias . "

The rebel entry into the town was preceded by the infiltration of a small vanguard who , possibly aided by female sympathisers within , scaled the walls of the militia barracks , killed the sentries and opened the gate . The barracks was quickly surrounded and attacked by hundreds of rebels who repulsed an attempt by the militia to break out , killing the militia commander , Captain Swayne . The remainder of the garrison were trapped in the upper barracks which was then torched causing the desperate soldiers to leap from windows onto the waiting pikes .

Fort Paskoya Fort Paskoya or Paskoyac or Pasquia was a French fort and trading post on the lower Saskatchewan River above Cedar Lake ( Manitoba ) . Around 1740 La Verendrye built four forts to control the chain of lakes west of Lake Winnipeg . These were Fort Pascoya , Fort Bourbon , Fort Dauphin ( Manitoba ) and Fort La Reine . Their purpose was to trade in furs and to divert to Montreal furs that had previously gone to the English on Hudson Bay . Pascoya had a good location because most of the furs from the west and northwest came down the Saskatchewan . The forts were also part of a quest for a river that led to the western sea , which Verendrye now thought was the Saskatchewan . It was named after a Cree word for narrows , or after the Opaskwayak Cree Nation , whom the explorers encountered . " Paskoyac " was also an old name for the Saskatchewan River . There is also a Pasquia River at The Pas . " First Paskoya : " In 1740 Louis - Joseph Gaultier de La Vérendrye mapped the west side of Cedar Lake . During the winter of 1741 - 42 , the elder La Vérendrye decided to build a fort on a small island where the river discharges into Cedar Lake .

" Second Paskoya : " The second Fort Paskoya was built upstream at what is now The Pas . Morton thinks it was built in 1750 and first occupied by Joseph - Claude Boucher , Chevalier de Niverville .

It was closed in 1759 during the fall of New France . In 1775 Alexander Henry the elder was blocked near here by a chief called The Pelican who demanded tribute to continue up the river . About the same time the Frobishers had a single trader on the site . The Northwest Company seems to have had a post here which was taken over by the Hudson ' s Bay Company .
