Krupp pointed out that it could deliver a number of railroad guns much more quickly using obsolete guns already on hand and modernizing their original <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a> mountings for which it still had drawings available. OKH agreed and authorized Krupp in 1936 to begin design of a series of guns between 15 and 28 cm (5.9 and 11.0 in) for delivery by 1939 as the Emergency Program (<i>Sofort-Programe</i>).<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Three <i><a href="/wiki/24_cm_SK_L/40" title="24 cm SK L/40">24 cm SK L/40</a> C/94</i> guns originally used by the <a href="/wiki/Kaiser_Friedrich_III-class_battleship" title="Kaiser Friedrich III-class battleship"><i>Kaiser Friedrich III</i></a>- and <a href="/wiki/Wittelsbach-class_battleship" title="Wittelsbach-class battleship"><i>Wittelsbach</i>-class</a> <a href="/wiki/Pre-dreadnought" class="mw-redirect" title="Pre-dreadnought">pre-dreadnoughts</a> were placed on new mounts patterned on the <i>E. u. B.</i> (<i>Eisenbahn und Bettungsgerüst</i> - railroad and firing platform) mount used by the same guns in <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a> as the <a href="/wiki/24_cm_SK_L/40_%22Theodor_Karl%22" title="24 cm SK L/40 "Theodor Karl"">24 cm SK L/40 "Theodor Karl"</a>. The new mounts lacked the under-carriage pivot and rollers used for the firing platform (<i>Bettungsgerüst</i>) in World War I as the Vögele turntable (Drehscheibe) completely replaced the old system. The turntable consisted of a circular track with a pivot mount in the center for a platform on which the railroad gun itself was secured. A ramp was used to raise the railway gun to the level of the platform. The platform had rollers at each end which rested on the circular rail for 360° traverse. It had a capacity of 300 tonnes (300 long tons; 330 short tons), enough for most of the railroad guns in the German inventory. The gun could only be loaded at 0° elevation and so had to be re-aimed for each shot. One obvious change made for land service was the placement of a large <a href="/wiki/Counterweight" title="Counterweight">counterweight</a> just forward of the trunnions to counteract the <a href="/wiki/List_of_British_ordnance_terms#Preponderance" class="mw-redirect" title="List of British ordnance terms">preponderance</a> of weight towards the <a href="/wiki/Breech-loading_weapon" class="mw-redirect" title="Breech-loading weapon">breech</a>. This, although heavy, was simpler than adding <a href="/wiki/Equilibrator" class="mw-redirect" title="Equilibrator">equilibrators</a> to perform the same function.
