Description
English: Launcher for 9-pdr and 24-pdr Hale rockets from 1868. Both are similar but with other dimensions. They Consists of a sheet iron V trough, the sides made at an angle of 80° with each other, supported at rear by threelegs made of wrought iron tubing, two short ones opening right and left, and one long one to the front beneath the trough, each terminating in a prong. On the front one runs a gun-metal ring connected by two bars with a V near the front of the trough, the ars pivot on V and ring; the elevation is given by slipping the ring up and down the front leg, and clamping it with the arrow on the rear edge of the ring at the requiered line of graduation up to 15° for 9-pdr and 25° for 24-pdr, with reference to the plane on which the machine stands.

At the back end of the trough is an iron stop preventing the rocket sliding back; it is slotted to form a crutch for copper friction tubes.

Dimensions:

9-pr.: Weight: 27lbs Length of trough: 3' 5 Width of sides: 2,5

24-pr.: Weight: 64,75lbs Length of trough: 5' 6

Width of sides: 4
