Artillery. — To represent the advance of artillery, tlie fig- 

 ures (fig. 21) should be set up on 6 sleds 15 meters apart. 

 The drag lines of three sleds are united and the movement 

 is so regulated that they keep abreast of each other. If the 

 battery in advancing is to halt and unlimber, sleds with 

 double targets, like fig. 46, are employed. 



When a large body of artillerj^ is to advance, the drag 

 lines are so disposed that they will move together. 



Fig. 50. 



Fire of the target. — When it is desirable to represent the 

 fire of a target, several cartridges are laid in a row parallel 

 to the line of fire in front of each gun and connected by a 

 slow fuse so that each will be ignited in turn. 



Signals. — Both semaphores and telephones are used for 

 communication between different parts of the range. 



HEAVY ARTILLERY. 

 PREPARATORY EXERCISES. 



After the use of the sights, and the nature of the trajectory, 

 have been explained to the men they are taught to direct the 

 piece upon some object that is described to them. If no 

 natural objects present themselves, targets on a reduced scale 

 or even objects on a wall painting, are used.
