- 3 - NT OTICE This gun book is kept, under supervision of the Battery Commander, by the Chief of Section, who shall record daily the number of rounds fired. A day is from midnight to midnight. In case of artillery using a variable charge, the quantity of charges of each number will be entered separately, the number being writ- ten in the 6 : Remarks" column. The gun book must always go with the gun when it is sent to the Repair Shop or trans- ferred to another Battery, etc. Therefore each Battery on receiving a gun whether new or not, must insist on receiving at the same time the corresponding gun book. The inscriptions on the Ist page are to be filled in immediately whenever the gun is transferred to another Battery. Each time the gun is sent to a Repair Shop, the Commanding Officer of the Shop is to sum up the total of rounds fired, as well as note in Remarks Column anything observed bearing on the condition of the gun. Every time the Inspec- tor visits the Battery, he will ask for the gun book and note under date of his visit the results of his inspection.
