There would be a handspike inserted into the handspike socket so that one of the gun numbers could move the gun left or right to track targets.

This ties in with the photo (in Anti Tank Weapons by Chamberlain and Gander 1974) that sparked off my original enquiry. In this the hand spike has been inserted
Thanks
