According to the Engineering News.
twelve six-inch ordnance rifles for the
United States government are now be
ing built by contract, six each at the
South Boston Iron Works and the
West Point foundry. The forgings
and material for the guns are being
made by the Midvale Steel company
of Philadelphia. their contract being
directly with the government. The
contract for the guns was made last
November, with the provision that the
first gun should be completed wit hin
six months The construction of the
guns is under the supervision OF a naval
officer, Lieut.. Commander Eaton, u.
:. y.
The South Boston Iron Works also
have the contract for furnishing the
gun carriages. gun mechanism and
steering gear apparatus for the double
turreted monitor Terror. The price is
S2OO,OOO, and it is required that the
work shall be completed and erected
OH the Dodl oiit A'stt stii't SIN Hioiii iiS
from May |.
The gun carriages of the Terror are
of the pneumatic type, the recoll and
counter recOil il against cushions of
air. The gun on this carriage will run
on "a horizontal plane, instead OF on
an incline, as in the Slcard carrlage on
the Boston and Atlanta. The first of
these new carriages Is already at the
Annapolis proving grounds and will he
tested Immediately. The cost to the
government of this carriaee is tn be
$4,000.
The Terror's guns will be elevated by
hydraulic power applied under the
after part, the pivoted point being on
the gun port. The gun is loaded from
a three-cylinder revolver, the gun being
loaded after firing until its chamber is
in line with that of the cylinder, at
which moment hydraulic hammer
pushes the charge into the gun. This
arrangement is similar to that used
on the Vesuvius.
Besides the work already mentioned
the South Boston Iron Works are fur
nishine POO projectile for the new ~
inch rifle mortar, now ut Sandy Hook
and the only one in the United States.
The prOjectiles are OF east iron, pointed.
with two copper bands about one
fourth inch wide shrunk on their ex
terror to permit their taking the ritling.
The proiectiles cost about $50 apiece.
