Schneider-Canet 65mm light QF gun M.
1898
The
Schneider-Canet 65mm L/60 gun, as a whole, embodied the same general
arrangements as those of 47mm L/60 gun. They differed in the spindle parralel
with the mounting bracket, and fitted with an endless screw that engaged a
helicoidal wheel mounted on the same axis as the cylindrical pionion that
engaged the toothed sector fitted to the jacket, and transmitted to the gun
the required oscillation. As regards the inside pivot this gun was very
similar to that of the 100mm L/60 gun. SOURCE : DREDGE. James: The Works of Messrs. Schneider and Co.
