DENMARK. - 43 



slight inclination from the vertical, supported by a hook 

 whicli is hinged to a stake and caught in a staple on the 

 target. A little hammer turning on a pivot is supported in 

 a horizontal position by a little pin so that when the target 

 is struck it falls and knocks the hook out of the staple and 

 the target falls to the ground. Another figure, representing 

 a skirmisher lying down, is supported by a copper wire with 

 an eye in the end, instead of by the hook. The eye is passed 

 over a pin on the top of the target so that when the hammer 

 falls the wire is knocked off and the target drops. 



To represent field artillery, a standing figure is set up on 

 each side of the target representing the piece, and is held up 

 by a hook which is loosened in the same manner as with the 

 kneeling and lying figures. 



For Seacoast Artillery, moving targets, made to be 

 drawn by torpedo boats or tugs, are constructed on the plan 

 of a catamaran as shown by the sketches. 

 A for mitrailleuse. 

 B for guns of small caliber. 

 C for guns of medium and large caliber. 



The dimensions are given in feet.
