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.
