Excerpt from Handbook of the 3. 2 Inch Field Battery: With Instructions for Its Care, Twenty Plates
The model of 1897 gun follows the lines of the model of 1890 with the exception of the powder chamber. This, in the model of 1885 and 1890 guns, was for black powder. In the model of 1897 the powder chamber has been made less than half the capacity of the earlier models, for the accommodation of smokeless powder. All the model of 1890 guns have been altered by the insertion of a lining tube, to conform to this model of powder chamber.
