1. Projectile Delivery Table Marker
Shells arriving from the magazine below were rolled onto the projectile delivery table to the right. Two members of the gun crew placed the projectile on a shot cart parked within the metal floor guides and rolled it to the rear of the gun, where the shell was rammed into the open breech.
Behind the two iron doors to the left are small recesses where the shot carts were stored.
