Dual Vents on the Dictator
Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: November 22, 2008
Caption: Dual Vents on the Dictator
Additional Description: The accuracy of the reproduction is near complete. The design featured two vent holes, only one of which was drilled completely through. The right side vent was drilled one inch short. The intent was, should the original vent be obstructed, simple field maintenance could restore the mortar to working order. The "lugs" under the mortar engage into the elevation ratchets on the mortar's mounting sled.
