Development
Manufactured by the Dutch Hazemeyer Company, the mount provided an alternative to the QF 2-pounder naval gun, as it was designed so that one set of layers aimed the gun, while a second manually stabilised the platform the gun sat on. The mount was self-contained and stabilised. The Dutch Hazemeyer Company was a subsidiary of the German company Siemens & Halske, but this technology had not been shared with the German headquarters. The mount combined with 40mm Bofors was displayed to the United States Navy ship Tuscaloosa on 20 August 1940 by the Dutch naval ship Van Kinsbergen which achieved amazing results and impressed the Americans so much they decided to adopt this system. The system also gained a reputation for unreliability among many naval officers.
