BI Only .Two Half-Ton Shells MlM Speed ins Target FTvr Miles AnlJ-) Xn Secret Range Control Credited. FORT STEVENS, Or.. Sept. 9. (Spe cial.) Results of the night mortal practice last night, according to pres ent data. Indicate 10 hits out of 12 shots fired at a target five miles at sea and speeding away from the guns. This combined with their record obtained In sm;shing a lOxlO-foot target at 13.400 yards during day practice September 4, will probably place the Columbia River company first in the Coast Artil lery Corps. An interesting phase of both prac tices is that they were fired from zone to zone. This method entails a com plete change of firing data corrections for each zone and corrections must be made during, the firing. The pressure of the recoil generated I in forcing these "huge half-tor shells from the -mortars at a high velocity is about 20,000 pounds per square inch. Therefore the total recoil pressure ex ceeded 2,250,000 foot pounds. To check and control this shock recoil cylinders containing oil are employed. To bring the piece back into position or what is termed counter-recoil, huge spiral springs are employed. Though these springs are capable of hurling 13 tons of metal back into position instantly, it is astimated that their entire power is less than 15 per cent of thattexerted by the cylinders of oil in checking the original recoil. Important modifications in range cdntrol apparatus, the exact nature of which cannot be made public, are largely responsible for the successful work at ort Stevens.
