Sir Hiram Maxim fires several shells from one of his heavy guns, then accepts his hat from a hand that offers it, and puts it on.
I always thought of the Maxim gun as a variety of what we call a machine gun or automatic weapon. This one, however, is mounted and fires but a few shells, each the size of a man's arm. I suppose some people are fussy about what sort of destruction they choose to spread, just as they are about wearing an appropriate hat.
