placed in the empty space. As the inner drum moves the rounds or spent cases toward the drum unload assembly, the scoop disk assembly removes the rounds from the drum partitions and places them into the retainer partitions of the drum exit cover. The  drum  unload  assembly  removes  the  rounds from  the  retainer  partitions  and  places  them  on  the unload tray. A hole in the unload tray lets spent cases drop  into  a  spent  case  container.  Rounds  are  moved across  the  hole  in  the  tray  to  a  live-rounds  container. These rounds must be restrained to prevent impact with the container or other rounds. Loading/Downloading Aircraft Gun Systems In a load and/or download operation, any combination of the following conditions may exist: A fully loaded, partially loaded, or empty transporter may be  mated  to  a  fully  loaded,  partially  loaded,  or  empty gun system. Each set of possible combination dictates a unique  load  and/or  downloads  operational  sequence. The load or download operational sequence explained in  the  following  paragraph  refers  to  a  fully  loaded transporter mated to a fully loaded gun system. For you to load or download an aircraft gun system, the    conveyor    system    must    be    mounted    on    the transporter   with   the   timed   entrance   and   exit   unit assemblies   mounted   to   a   timed   drum.   The   timed interface  unit  assembly  must  be  mated  to  the  timed aircraft  gun  system  by  the  aircraft  adapter  assembly. The rounds pass from the transporter, through the exit unit  assembly,  through  an  ammunition  chute,  to  the interface unit assembly.
