Photographer: Al Wolf
Taken: May 25, 2009
Caption: Back View - - Mortar
Additional Description: The "slot" in the back is actually part of the elevating system for the mortar. Rectangular sockets in the slot were engaged with a hand spike in order to raise or lower the mortar. Those cast early in the production cycle by Alger have three sockets. Later castings had nine. This example appears to have nine.
