Abstract
An equilibrating system connects a top carriage of a piece of artillery and a pivoting mass. The equilibrating system includes a pressurized gas chamber that exerts a force opposing a force exerted by the pivoting mass. The system also includes two mechanical control devices to modify the volume of gas in the chamber to compensate for adjustments in temperature and to modify the speed of adjustment of the volume of gas to compensate for different elevation laying angles.
