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.
