Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Combined Infantry and Cavalry Drill Regulations for Automatic Machine Rifle, Caliber Model of 1909
The ri?e is set up in the position designated by the squad leader by the gunner and tripod carrier. With the tripod at its maximum height, the gunner sits on the trail seat; at other elevations he takes the most suitable position. The loader places his ammunition boxes within convenient reach and takes such position on the right of the gun as will enable him to readily perform his duties. The disposi tion of the loads carried by the other members of the squad, the duties to be performed and the position to be occupied by each will be as directed by the squad leader, who takes position so as to best direct the fire of his gun. Sights are set by the gunner and the gun loaded at command load, or at first designation of the target. In order to reduce exposure to hostile fire, no more men than are abso lutely necessary should be kept at the gun.
