Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
July 23, 1918-Feeling about the same. Was sent out to see the Hispano Motor Works. Met the chief engineer who took us around. Saw the new 300 H.P. which is a wonder and the 800* cannon which is automated for seven shots. Am having dinner tomorrow evening with him. Met Capt. Marr last evening. Brought mail and news of Lt. [Fred W.] Norton of Columbus, O. having been lost going into Germany so far. [Note: Puteaux 37mm Automatic Cannon]
