Ihe Hydraulic lube Drawn. and
Stcei Ordnance COur,pauy.

we Introduce to the notice of military read
ers desideratum which all the recent punnery
) improvements have hitherto been wanting
steel tube or barrel, without Join, solder or
weld, and therefore of perfect canstructon.-
Ihe well known "ringed" construction Of ord
nance presents certain advantages Of which Sir
w. Armstrong and others have availed them
selves A British paper says:
Ihe machinery recently patented by Mcssrs.
dawksworth and Harding, presents advanta-
ges which we consider very important and
may be shortly described thus : piece Of
stranular steel or other metal of any required
number aof inches in diamctcr is drilled tbrouoh.
mandrel with a bulb head, of the internal
glze OF the required tube, is introduced and the
piece OF metal is, by the action of a very DOW
erful Hydraulic machine, Of remarkable ingcu-
1ous construction, drawn through a draw plate
OF the form required. The metal has now be-
come tube Of most perfect finish, ana the
metal, before Of granular structure, transformed
to hbrous structure, and of course by this pro
cess OF cold drawing. is admirably adapted for
al purposes requiring the utmost STRENGTH.
: This IS proved by the well known fact that the
ultimate longitudinal strength of piece of
piano wire reaches often as much as I2O tons
per square inch, when that of the original bill
let from which it was drawn was probably nat
more than 25 tons per sectional inch The
patentees claim tho great advantage Of .f.cili,v
and economy Of construction. The applicable
lty of this machinery to the ready forlna ton of
tubes of all kinds in any description Of metal,
especially iron and steel barrels for arms, tubes
for ordnance, boilers, &c, DC, is. claimed with
great justness by the patentecs. The machine
~ having bcep experiments worked IN Paris
tor gun aud rifle barrels, tho ordnance depart
nent OF France have examined and reported
upon it in the highest terms. Largo guns well
ded together cold and rifled by pressure, the
skin OF the metal is! preserved intact, and the
ordnance will possess all the clements of
strength hitherto unattainaole. and which ar
tlllerists have vainly desired. "a company has
been formed to work this invention, or .abpIica.
