A very thorough description from Godwin.

If I may, I would like to add that beside the feed arms with the feed pawls there are also two feed rolls that engages the round for the last step down to the loading tray. They are needed get the cartridge in the exact position for the rammer. The rolls have four very deep longitudinal grooves, giving them a more or less cruciform cross-section.


The feed rolls were omitted on the L/70. But the L/70 also have a deflector tongue to direct the spent case downwards. In this way the new round doesn't have to wait for the empty cartridge-case to be out of the gun-casing before it's fed down to the loading tray.
