"The new Run," so he said, "is not verv much more powerful than the old sun. It Is ot a little smaller calibre, nevertheless fifing u little heavier projectile. The principal difference in the carriage is that for tho new gun it. permits a very long recoil of the gun upon the carriage on discharge. This recoil is some times over three foet. For this rea son the action of the gun upon the carriage in the recoil is very gentle and the carriage is not displaced nor n . w, i,.i In i.n 1 inttl Or tha frtltl I instead of firing one or two rounds it minute, as was possible With the old gun, the new gun will be ready to be fired fifteen times in one min ute."
