TITLE(s): WAD-COMPRESSOR OPERATOR-ADJUSTER (ordnance) alternate titles: compressor
operator-adjuster
Operates battery of compressor machines and drying ovens to press and dry cardboard-fiber and
wood-flour slurry to form filler wads for shotgun shells: Turns valves to fill compressor jackets
with slurry and to heat drying ovens. Starts feed tank agitator, wad compressors, and conveyors.
Observes molded wads emerging from compressor punches to detect concave tops indicating fouled punch
tip. Unbolts punch tube and cleans accumulated slurry from tip, using compressed air or water.
Replaces bent or broken punches, tubes, knock-off fingers, and transfer plates, using handtools.
Weighs specified number of dried wads from each batch of slurry on grain scale, and computes
quantity of water needed to produce wads of specified weight. Measures thickness of wads, using dial
gauge, and adjusts spacing between top and bottom punches to change wad thickness, using
micrometers, feeler gauges, and precision gauge blocks. Washes accumulation of slurry from machine.
May operate and adjust battery of stationary pneumatic compressors that press slurry into holed wads
for further compressing into base wads and be designated Base-Wad Operator-Adjuster (ordnance).
