THE HEAVY ORDNANCE PROBLEM

ABANDONMENT OF THE RODMAN SYsTEM-ACTTON
OF THE ORDNANCE BoARD-THE NEW sYs-
TENS ADOPTED FOR EXPERIMENTS AND
TESTS.
lfaOM A REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBJsgl
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The Ordnance Bu-
reau OF Army is all at again in the matter Of
heavy During the Rebellion it claimed to have
definitely solved the veIatious ordnance problem, and
to have obtained In the invention OF the late Gen. Rod
man the gun Of the greatest endurance and destructive
power known to the world The Rodman gun was made
OF casron cooled slowly from within by passing cur
rents through the around which the metal
was poured. Large numbers Of them were made, and
the bureau sent one OF I5nch caiber England for
competitive trial with the Armstrong guns, where 1t be-
haved very we'll and showed remarkable power In shat
tering armor As smoothbore the gun appeared TO be
fairly successful In experimental rings but the few
that were rfied exhibited trustworthy endurance.
The opponents OF the gun alleged that would not
dure the strain rapid and ongcontinued firing in bat
to- The ordnance officers, however, strenuousy de-
cared that possessed every merit desirable in great
gun 1t was remarked nevertheless, by persons inter
ested in ordnance problems that the principal European
Powers did not appear consider 1t Of sufficient value
TO take muchnotice OF IL.
About,a year ago Gen. Rodman, the Inventor, died.
He was an ordnance officer OF high rank and eminent
attsinmens and his firm faith in his gun unques-
tonably much TO do with the Partially OF the Ord
nance Bureau for It. Soon after his death the Bureau
exhibited willingness TO reopen the question and TO
begin a new series Of experiments TO determine upon
some new system Of heavy ordnance for ADOPTION thus
acknowledging tho defects OF the Rodman system APP
pcation made TO Congress for large appropriation
to test an OF Dr. Woodbridge for gun made
by winding wire around tube. An appropriation Of
t27oo0 made at the last session, but the law pro-
vided that should be applied to at least three models
OF heavy ordnance to be designated by board Of OFF,
cers who should report upon botsimuzze and breeoh
loading guns. board was accordingly appointed by
the Secretary of War in June composed Of four ord
OFFICERS two artillery officers, and one engineer
officer The Board invited inventors TO send them their
drawings and specifications. and in response they
ceiyed descriptions OF 40 different inventions. After
about three months work examining the drawings mod
els and descriptions OF these devices the Board selected
nine for experiments These. arranged In tho
order Of their supposed merit, were the following;
