Since the Ross rifle had finally been taken out of service, there were large numbers of surplus rifles. [citation needed] Joseph Alphonse Huot (1918) That year, Joseph Huot, an engineer from Richmond, Quebec, [ 3 ] adapted the Ross' straight-pull bolt action. His sample model, which shared 33 parts with the Ross Mark III, [ 4 ] had a pneumatic ...
The roughly $35,000 investment he had made in the project was left to him to repay (although Huot fought this, and eventually did receive payment of $25,000 in recompense – but only in 1936). His first wife had died days after childbirth in 1915, and he remarried after the war, fathering 5 children with his wife Marie and working as a laborer and eventually city works foreman in Ottawa.
Joseph Alphonse Huot (1918) That year, Joseph Huot, an engineer from Richmond, Quebec, [3] adapted the Ross' straight-pull bolt action. His sample model, which shared 33 parts with the Ross Mark III, [4] had a pneumatic piston parallel to the barrel, which moved a sleeve on the bolt backward, operating the action. To absorb excess energy, the ...
To absorb excess energy, the bolt was buffered. The entire mechanism was sheathed in sheet metal. Huot copied the cooling system from the Lewis Gun, then standard in British Army service. It fed from a 25-round drum magazine. He filed Canadian patents; #193724 on 8 March 1917 (granted 4 November 1919) and #193725 on 13 November 1917.
On April 10, 1849, the safety pin was patented. Walter Hunt also thought little of his safety pin as an invention and soon sold the patent for four hundred dollars. For those of you who don't know what a safety pin is; it is something you use to fasten cloth diapers. The eye pointed needle sewing machine was later re-invented by Elias Howe of ...
The Huot was a Canadian World War I light machine gun project. In 1916, the Canadian Expeditionary Force was desperately short of light machine guns.[1] Since the Ross rifle had finally been taken out of service, there were large numbers of surplus rifles. That year, Joseph Huot, an engineer from Richmond, Quebec,[2] adapted the Ross' straight-pull bolt action. His sample model, which shared ...
