Instructions for Placing Rifles and Carbines in the Arm Racks 
under the Flaps of Seats in 3rd Class Carriages. 
Care is to be taken that rifles are placed the proper way in the arm 
racks. If they are lodged in the rack with the toe of the butt up, 
the trigger in the slot of the rack instead of behind it, or if the rifle 
is reversed in the rack, so that the muzzle is where the butt should be, 
the seat will not shut down properly, but will rest on the rifles and be 
liable to injure them.
