How is a huge, 16-inch gun turret on a battlewagon swung into firing How is a big 90-mm. antiaircraft gun kept trained on its fast-moving target? These and other tasks of warfare are too tough for the controlled muscle power of mere man.

So they are performed by made-to-order "nerves" and "muscles" of steel and oil, using the principle of hydraulics. Hydraulic "nerves" and "muscles" can move and control many hundreds of tons at the touch of a finger on a lever. And do it smoothly, quickly, and with hairbreadth precision. Even before the war, Vickers a division of the Sperry Corporation, had years of experience in applying hydraulic power and control to industrial devices, and to Army and Navy weapons. Wartime brought additional assignments.

It takes plenty of muscle to rotate and elevate a belly turret against the terrific wind pressure. So the "muscles" and controls are hydraulic and they do their job smoothly, instantly, and with great accuracy. They spin the 1550-ton turret on a battleship. This means training and elevating the monster 16-inch guns mounted three abreast in a heavy, armored turret. Precision, speed, and dependability are vital.

The hydraulic drive is one reason for our Navy's deadly gunfire. K.C. Ecke and Donald Portuea A former teacher at Public School uate of St. Theresa's Parochial 42. Kathryn G.

It was not until the end of 1919. or 15 months later, that the bulk of our troops were out of Prance. Actually, our While the application of hydraulics to our modern weapons of war are the more spectacular. Vickers equipment is performing equally important tasks on the production front. Giant presses, ingenious and intricate machines for making munitions, standard and special machine tools, and oil well machinery are but a few examples.

When Victory permits, Vickers precision hydraulic equipment will aid in the manufacture of hundreds of postwar products.
