The elevator needs to rotate.
Is that Clayton Hartwig in the lower right?
Thanks for the cool animation.
When i went through Navy boot camp in 1951, we had to simulate loading the ammo hoists for a 5 inch 38 firing semi-fixed ammo (seperate shell case and projectile). We had to load 54 lb (I think) projectiles nose first into the ammo hoist, keeping our fingers clear of the base or they would have been snipped off as the hoist lifted the projectiles.
What blew my mind was that the nose of the projectile had a fuse that was twisted/set by the gun control people as it rose. Very cool WWII technology.
that is cool
