Mr. Dundee, of Paragon Works, North Britain,
has emended, it is said, in making a 'stainable wrought
boa gas, which has stood the test of 162 rounds. We flad in
circulation the following description of the method of the
°Destruction of this gars. Pour bars of iron, about an inch
thick, dye Mehra broad, and the proper length of the gun,
are put up loagitudiaally into segments of a circle, whisk,
if placed edge to edge, form theirough outline of the bore.
The edges of these bars are then accurately planed. The
bars er staves are now hooped temporarily as a cylinder by
means of two rings at the extremities, and toned in a lathe
to a surface perfectly true sad cylindrical. Asides of iron
rings, three inches broad and three-quarters of an inch
thick, easefully welded, are bored to a sire slightly smaller
than the barrel or cylinder ; those, being afterwards ex-
panded by heat, are one by one placed on the cylinder and
plunged iato cold Mar. Instant contractioa ensuing, the
staves are onaspremed more powerfully than could be dans
by any artificial mesas, and no appearance of a joint is this
staves is perceptible. The exterior surface of the mess is
again tamed perfectly cylindrical, and a most males
of ridge pissed in like manner over the first beside, band."
This time Is the lathe the iron assumes the eaterior of a
sass, the transients having beta previously plated and
legged on a seats ring. To bore the gun with gnat per•
footles is very simple, as the boring bar as be supported at
both sada ; and the breech and of the gun bMng, fees few
belga, bond slightly conically with a shoulder, into which
its a solid plug iatrolueed from the muzzle; the mason is
now complete.
