FITTING the Army’s modern
Garand rifle, an attachment
of new design permits use of
the weapon for firing gre-
nades and signal flares. As a
grenade thrower, the device
converts the Garand into an
effective antitank weapon. At
left, the illustration shows a
grenade for this purpose
about to be mounted in place,
while other types of missiles
line the table. The invention is
said to eliminate need for car-
rying older-type Springfield
rifles for this particular pur-
pose. Ray S. Miller, at right
in photo, and Col. Charles H.
Coates, center, designed the
launcher at Fort Benning, Ga.
