Goddard Rocket Apparatus Patent
Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C.
Dear sir;
I am sending a copy of a patent just issued, which it might be well to put with the other copies that I sent with the manuscript.
This patent was taken out chiefly with the idea of covering a magazine of the cartridge-belt type; and is of importance in that it describes a device for making the loading of the cartridge perfectly positive.
Very truly yours,
Robert H. Goddard R. H. GODDARD.

Movable-changer-and-fixed-breach-block type of reloading mechanism.
Magazine of the cartridge-belt type.
In this patent, attention is called to the mechanism (parts 50..54, Figs. 2, 3, 16) by which the operation of loading the cartridge is made absolutely positive.
This device can also be applied to the mechanisms described in the previous patents.
