-
the piston and the cylinder varies during recoil; by this
means an approximately constant pressure is maintained
in the buffer throughout the stroke, the front end of the piston
rod is fired to the front of the spring case, the rear
end is bored for the reception of the controlling plunger
which by displacing the liquid inside the piston rod, brings
the gun gently to rest when returning to the firing position.
A filling hole, closed by a plug with a chain is provided
at the rear end of the cylinder
The running out springs surround the hydraulic buffer
and are enclosed in a steel case which is screwed
into the cradle above the gun, they consist of two sets
inner and outer which are held under initial compression
each set is divided into four sections separated by.
parting plates, the inner and outer are also separated
longitudinally by an inner case
For the better detection of a leak in the gland, holes are
bored in the spring cases four holes near the rear
end of the inner spring case and two holes underneath
