Approximately thirty sub-contractors were engagedupon various portions of the work, all asseml)l- taking placeat the Kddystone plant of the Baldwin Locomotive Works.

Xin^ty-three days after the contract was i)laced the fi-st twoof these mounts were loaded on cars, and shii)ped to the LidianHead Proving Ground for test. In every way they were 100 percent, both as to handling and action under fire. •The rifles are 7-men, 45 calil)er , drow a p ojectile weigluugapproximatelv iSS pounds, ^md carry a high explosive chargeof 27 to 30 pounds of T. X. T., and a 58-pound smokelesspowder propelling charge. These guns have a range of approxi-mately 32, 000 vards, or 16 to 17 miles, at full elevation of 40<legrees.^ The total weight of each of these mounts, complete 48. Avilh limber, is 83, 000 pounds; and they were arranged to behauled into position in tb.e field by means of two 120 H. P.Holt Caterpillar Tractors. The war being completed before the Tenth Regiment of theMarine Corps received mstructions to go abroad, the delay intheir receiving such instructions having been due to army in-terference and jealousy, none of these mounts were put intoactual service, but are being stored for use by the Marine Corpsat points where their services may be required. After -he efficacy of these mounts had been demonstrated, a contract for 36 additional mounts was placed with the BaldwinLocomotive Works; the Navy building these mounts for theArmy. With the closing of the war, one-half of this numberhas been cancelled and 18 only are being completed. PRESIDENT: I do not know how we can adequatelythank Lieut.
