Of what metal are these shell cases made- / iron, steel or tin? What is their length, diame-/ter and circumference? Later on when we go / out upon the Battlefield, you will see the de-/vice, in connection with the gun carriage, in / which these shells are placed, so that the gun-/ner's assistant can reach them readily and so / that in case of a retreat there is no collecting / of shells to delay. / [extended text] / Copyright by Underwood & Underwood.
