They were developed to exploit the new "<a href="/wiki/British_ordnance_terms#QF" class="mw-redirect" title="British ordnance terms">QF</a>" technology, which involved loading the propellant charge in a brass case with integrated primer in its base. This allowed a faster rate of fire than the older "Breech Loading" system, where the propellant was loaded in cloth bags and then a separate friction or percussion tube fitted into the breech for firing. The brass case sealed the breech, allowing a lighter mechanism, and at the same time disposed with the necessity of washing or sponging any smouldering fragments left from the previous shot, which could ignite the charge (then of <a href="/wiki/Gunpowder" title="Gunpowder">black powder</a>) prematurely.
