APPRECIATING the fact
thatariflebarrel, heated
with much rapid fire, is not a
particularly inviting article
to handle, and that neverthe-
less it must be handled when
it is required to use the
bayonet, Mr. Henry Brewer,
of Connecticut, has invented
an insulating device.
The insulator consists of a
perforated metal shield, a
little more than semi-circular
in cross-section, and suffi-
ciently larger in diameter
than the barrel to form an
insulating space. It is not at
all in the way of the user
of the rifle, and as it is
merely attached with two or
three screws, it does not in-
terfere with the proper clean-
ing and care of the rifle.
The inventor asserts that in
view of the perforations in
the plate it will give a much better grip
than it was possible to obtain before, as
manifestly the hand will not slip on
the rough plate the way it would m
on the smooth, hot, rifle barrel.
