135k | Note the considerable trunnion height, about 66 inches and the cut away rear to allow for extreme elevation (90 degrees). On the Upper Deck the gun was capable of training wherever the superstructure did not interfere and it could be fired at all angles of train. The carriage forming the greater part of this mount rested over a low cylindrical stand, bolted to a foundation plate in deck and was supported by two ball bearings,designed to reduce friction, an inner - and an outer ball bearing. The inner bearing took the compression, load, weight and vertical downward trust of recoil when the gun was fired. The outer bearing held the carriage on the stand and took the tension, due to the roll of the ship and to upward thrust of recoil when the gun was fired at low angles of elevation. A training worm, meshed with the training circle, was connected by a shaft and gearing with the trainer's two-hand drive at the right of the gun. On the left side was the pointer's two-hand drive that actuated a pinion meshing with the elevating arc. At the top of the carriage were the trunnion seats in which the trunnions rested. The latter formed part of the slide through which the gun slides recoiled and counter-recoiled. |
