Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com PREFACE This handbook is the first of a planned series on Guns. It is part of a group of handbooks covering the engineering principles and fundamental data needed in the development of Army materiel, which (as a group) constitutes the Engineer- ing Design Handbook Series. This handbook presents information on the funda- mental operating principles and design of gun tubes. Ja n This handbook was prepared by The Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, Penn- sylvania, for the Engineering Handbook Office of Duke University, prime con- tractor to the Army Research Office--Durham.

The Guns Series is under the technical guidance and coordination of a special committee with representation from Frankford Arsenal of the Munitions Command; and Springfield Armory and Watervliet Arsenal of the Weapons Command. Chairman of this committee is Mr. Anthony Muzicka of Watervliet Arsenal. Agencies of the Department of Defense, having need for Handbooks, may submit requisitions or official requests directly to Equipment Manual Field Cffice (7), Letterkenny Army Depot, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Contractors should submit such requisitions or requests to their contracting uificers.

Comments and suggestions on this handbook are welcome and should be addressed to Army Research Office-Durham, Box CM, Duke Station, Durham, North Carolina 27706. i~ E iN 1A
