ABSTRACT:
A round is rapidly transferred from a magazine, located at a fixed position on the chassis of a tank, to a ramming position adjacent a traversable firearm mounted in a turret on the tank, by use of a loading trough which is actuated by a hydraulic cylinder to transport a round from the magazine to a round cradle. The round cradle is rotatable about an axis extending at right angles to the traversing plane of the firearm, is located in a predetermined feeding position relative to the magazine for receiving the round delivered by the loading trough, is thereafter rotated through an angle to orient the cradle and round thereon to a position coinciding with the prevailing traverse position of the firearm, whereafter gripping members are activated to move the round from the cradle to the ramming position adjacent the firearm.
