The 3-inch ordnance rifle was mounted on the standard carriage for the 6-pounder field gun. Because its projectile was heavier than a 6-pound shot, the 3-inch rifle's greater recoil sometimes caused damage to the trail or the cheek pieces of the carriage. [17] The 6-pounder carriage weighed 900 lb (408 kg). [18]
Sholes chose the size of the keys to be on three-quarter [3 ⁄ 4, or 0.75] inch centers (about 19 mm, versus musical piano keys which are 23.5 mm or about 0.93 inches wide). 0.75 inches has turned out to be optimum for fast key entry by the average-size hand, and keyboards with this key size are called "full-sized keyboards".

Modern keyboard models contain a set number of total keys according to their given standard, described as 101, 104, 105, etc. and sold as "Full-size" keyboards. [8] Modern keyboards matching US conventions typically have 104 keys while the 105 key layout is the norm in the rest of the world.
It was determined that the weapon was too heavy and had too much recoil for mobile mountings, so a new weapon based on the barrel of the lighter and less powerful 3-inch gun M1898 was developed, designated the 3-inch gun M1918. This was the standard US anti-aircraft gun until partially replaced by the 3-inch gun M3 in 1930; some M1918 guns saw ...

The main intent of this design was to halve the production cost of the Model F. [13] The most well known full-size Model M is known officially as the IBM Enhanced Keyboard. A classic full-size Model M keyboard with Spanish ISO key layout. In 1993, two years after spawning Lexmark, IBM transferred its keyboard operations to the daughter company.
