Caption
Washington, D.C.: October 26, 1926
The Cutts compensator, a new invention for the Thompson sub machine gun, keeps the bullets aimed at the target rather than spattering around from the recoil. It will be used against mail robbers in the future. L-R: Asst Postmaster-General Irving Glover, Col. R.M. Cutts, U.S. Marines and inventor with his son, Lt, Cutts, of the Cutts compensator, and Col. Thompson, designer of the machine gun.
