Abstract: A container is open on both sides and is used for the pickup and feed of a cartridge having a bottom flange. The container is a component of a magazine revolving behind a cannon across the bore axis thereof on an endless-track disposed in the turret of a tank, or especially of an armored car. In the container, the cartridge lies in the grip of at least two pincers, which are in interconnection with the container in jacket perforations thereof and which can be tightened by means of a cam interacting with a sliding sleeve.

Abstract: A cartridge magazine comprising tubular containers each equipped for the pickup and feed of one cartridge case, these containers being in parallel to each other and aligned with the bore axis of the cannon barrel. The containers are on an endless track revolving in mutually superposed horizontal planes and the tubular containers on both of their faces are linked to conveyor chains carried in guide rails by means of a trunnion, and are guided in additional magazine fixed guide rails, of which one is restricted, to an endless-trackless deflecting section, by means of two pilots attached to each container outside the circular track of this trunnion to the effect of maintaining a constantly positioned rotation of the containers.
