With a reduced number of guns, the work must of course be a little 
delayed, but no difficulty should arise if the sectional system be adhered 
to. If no gun of a section be left in action, as for instance only 1, 2, 
3 and 4, wind from right, the C.O’s. order should be—Duties, 1 and 2 
of Right, 3 of Centre, and 4 of Left section ; or, if 4, 5 and 6 were 
only Left, wind from right; duties, 4 of Right, 5 of Centre, and 6 
of Left section. 
A single gun laying for a section lays at the higher of the two ranges 
and depresses if required, delay must occur while this is being done. 
The system will work advantageously with three guns.
