The comment about the asbestos rope preventing the recuperator from over heating must refer to radiated heat from the barrel. The 25 pounder has the barrel above the recuperator so that consideration was apparently reduced or eliminated.
The barrel must get extremely hot under sustained fire.
Are there any restrictions or recommendations on the number of rounds fired in any given time?
