Patent FR-1912-435317.16121
This addition has to do with holding down an aircraft's movable floor, the charging of the engine block therein facilitating the lifting of a shutter gradually refilling tubes with projectiles. This facilitates firing at will and-or firing rapidly from each side of the engine, therein avoiding any effect of a piston's interference with the tube containing the projectiles, thusly aiding the rapid fire. This lets the pilot take account of the number of ready projectiles, with the aid of an automatic counter. The pilot can open or close at will the safety plate. There is a tube attached to the lower part of the engine block which guides the initial trajectory of the projectile's fall, thusly avoiding the collision of the projectile with a vital part of the flying machine itself.
