The Broadwell drum is rotated by hand, and there is no mechanical indexing mechanism. I have handled a number of drums for different calibres and this is consistent on all models seen.
Thank you for a very penetrating comment, it made me revisit my documentation to work out which direction was correct. My answer need more that this post can handle
@vbbsmyt this is correct as per the Broadwell patent 110388, but at least one model has a barrel lug that indexes the drum once per rotation of the barrel pack. Where that came from, I don't know.
The Instructions from the Gatling Land Service manual of 1880, describe the drill for the Broadwell drum as: "Place the drum on the pin in the centre of the hopper…place the thumb of the left hand against the thumb piece, and the forefinger against one of the lugs on the bottom edge of the drum, turn sharply till the two are in a line, the cartridges will then drop into the hopper and the gun may be worked." Using the left hand, the drum must be rotated in the direction shown.
Em 1997, uma garota chamada Lauren estava caminhando em uma floresta, e de repente desapareceu, ninguém nunca encontrou-a até 2000, quando uma outra menina chamada Maria encontrou o corpo e marcas em seu peito, disseram: Não era bonita o suficiente "e, agora, você leu isso, ela aparecerá em seu espelho dizendo que você não é bonito o suficiente e matá-lo! (pela forma como o menina chamada Mary morreu pouco depois) Para se salvar colar este para 5 outros vídeos é verdade
@ahmadov Gatling's patent 125,563 appears to show guidance rails rather than grooves in the surrounding casing. That said,the actual guns may have had grooves - but I was modelling from the patent, as I don't have any better drawings. In addition, it is easier to explain how the breech pieces are moved back and forwards using rails in the animation.
incrivel, siplismente incrivel, pesnei q era mais complexo para entender pq eu pensei de tudo eu não entendia, ams agora vendo o video ficou bem mais facil de entender e até parece simples.
@julien0540 Thanks. This model was drawn from Gatling's US Patent No 125,563 April 9 1872. You can download this patent from the US Patent Office, or an e-bay vendor csaeod will sell a CD with a large collection of patent drawings. Alternatively, search the web for Gatling drawings - several sites will sell you engineering drawings if you want to make your own. However, as I am interested in how it worked, I found the US patent quite adequate.
Very nice animation, but doesn't the Broadwell drum rotate the other way? IIRC it''s indexed by a lug on one of the barrels.

However, since the drum is not mechanically linked to the barrels, it could be rotated in the opposite direction if the loader so wished.
So, while it is possible to turn the Broadwell drum in the opposite direction to that shown in my animation, the drill supports the animation.

why do you have rails instead of cams,or was this the original design of the gun?
