1 hr confidence: | maxim and cardigan كوكبة من المكسيم ومعم رجال الكارديجان
Explanation:
The colonel of the regiment came to the Chobham bridge and
was busy questioning the crowd at midnight. The military authorities
were certainly alive to the seriousness of the business. About
eleven, the next morning's papers were able to say, a squadron of
hussars, two Maxims, and about four hundred men of the Cardigan
regiment started from Aldershot.
A few seconds after midnight the crowd in the Chertsey road,
Woking, saw a star fall from heaven into the pine woods to the
northwest. It had a greenish colour, and caused a silent brightness
like summer lightning. This was the second cylinder.

1 day2 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1 | Maxim (heavy machine gun) [... and Cardigan Regiment] رشاش ماكسيم ثقيل
Explanation:
The Maxim water-cooled machine gun was classified as a "heavy machine gun" because it had a high rate of fire and could sustain continuous fire for longer periods than could air-cooled "light machine guns" of the time.
The weapons crews for a while were organized into separate "machine gun companies," and their teams would be parcelled out to provide fire support to charging formations of cavalry or infantry.
