Тоже своего рода пост для железнодорожного месячника :).

Хорошее дополнение к моим постам про американские ЖД орудия ПМВ.

Да, вы правы, не знаю почему так написал, в книге которую я повесил в пост есть про откатные механизмы. Вот что там пишут:
226. Recoil Mechanism. - ^The recoil mechanism consists of one recoil and four spring cylinders arranged about the cradle and of a design shown on plate 259. The recoil cylinder is the usual hydraulic brake, but uses throttling rods, three in number, instead of grooves or bars. The spring tubes each contain double spring columns, plate 267, divided into six sections and the ends of the spring rods are provided with air-tight pistons so that compressed air can be used to aid in returning the piece to battery at high elevations. When the gun is being fired at elevations between 10 and 15 degrees, the mount recoils along the track a distance of from 30 to 40 feet. Under such circumstances the mount is returned to its firing position by a winch mounted on the front span bolster. The maximum length of recoil, at the maximum elevation is 44.5 inches. When operated at elevations between 15 and 45 degrees, it is necessary to place the mount on a fixed emplacement which includes a pit to receive the breech of the gun at high elevations and into which the gun may recoil. The recoil and recuperator pistons are all attached to a yoke which is slipped over the breech of the gun from the rear and is secured to a collar on the gun, by means of a bronze locking ring.
