In a smithy where workers light heartediy toss red-hot lengths of teel around, the gun's body be gins to take shape. Before proces- but. after passing through 260 machining operations, the weight has been reduced to less than seven pounds. 1 Among instruments used In Its manufacture are micrometers which measure parts to one-mUhonth of an Inch. Such accuracy is needed because a flaw of 1-10.000th of an Inch In the bar-lel makes all the difference whether the bullet leaves the gun or Jams the whole works. Accuracy of manufacture is doubly necessary because the gun's components must be Interchangeable Each gun has a spare barrel which can be slipped on hurriedly when the other becomes hot. It is equipped also with 25 magazines, each containing 20 rounds of am- .munition, and these must be adjusted quickly. Subject To Many Tests Every gun goes through Innumerable tests at various stages of manufacture and the completed product is fired at proof buta. The day I stood behind a gun, holding my ears to ease the vibration, sparrows perched saucily on a brick wall above the butts. The gun has to fire at an angle of 80 decrees before receiving a final "o. k." from the inspector, i .This is because It can be used as1 jan anti-aircraft weapon in the' event of low-flying planes appearing and must be Just as efficient as for horizontal firing. It was 'tested by a gunner shooting Into ja wooden box on a wall. In contrast to the manufacture !nf the Bren. Vlckers and small arms, the making of big guns for Ibattleshlps and anti-aircraft de-fpnee is a slower and quieter pro- Icesi. It wasn't so quiet though, be-j side a M-incn niui fired into a pile of wet sand 50Q yards away. j The gun Darrei is imu-u mc firing of a stub-nosed projectile containing a higher charge than normally. Nose of the shell Is blunted so It will bury Itself In the sand. Gunners must know the range or they would be liable to overshoot the wall above the sand.1 Someone said that in the last war" a gunner got his. range mixed with the date of 'the month and the shell landed In a distant Cash for Old Gold.
