| - 2 - we would point out that the keel increases in width from 21" at former 69 to 23" at former 61 1/2 and that the projection on the gun body at this point appears to foul. The floor bearers at the point "H" on your drawing could be modified and strengthened if necessary to carry the gun rear mounting. B.U.S.M. type magazine. It would appear that an entirely new floor construction would be necessary to accomodate this type of magazine, unless it were possible to lower the whole gun. In this case, the removable doors can be made any shape necessary to cover the guns if they should protrude through the present outline. Yours sincerely, (Signed...) L.G.Frise. | ||
