The Hillsborough recorder. [volume] (Hillsborough, N.C.) 1820-1879, 1859-03-02

RoTARY CANNoN.-A rotary cannon has
been invented, which can be fred at the rate
of sixty rounds per minute. The piece is a
brass gun Of the usual shape, mounted on
wheels, and so constructed that rotary cyl.
inder constitutes the breech, which contains
four charges, replenished by means Of hop.
per, and fred as rapidly as man can work
an ordinary lever backward and forward.
The piece is discharged by electricity. and
from this results, what is believed to be, an
important and valuable discovery BY means
Of the battery and wires Connecting with the
cylinder by which ignition is caused. the
cylinder becomes perfectly electrified. which
keeps It as cool as If constantly bathed with
ice. On firing two hundred rounds in rapid
succession, at the rate Of about thirty rounds
per minute, it was found that at the end Of
that time, and without using the swab once,
the breech was colder than when the firing
commenced.
