TESTS OF ARMOR STEEL.
Three Plates OF Foreign Manufacture
Fired at From 6 and S-Inch Guns.

Today at Annapolis there is taking place the
most important test Of armor steel that has
ever occurred in this country. Three plates
Of foreign manufacture are being fired at from
six and eight-inch guns at 80 feet range with
steel, case-hardened, armor-plercing projec-
tiles, for the purpose Of determining the en-
durance strength and other qualities of power.
The competition was open to American manu-
facturers. but they are not ready to make such
plates, and consequently the only plates tested
today are from England and France. The
English plate is from the Cammell works, q
compound of iron and steel, and the others
are from the foundries of Schneider Il Co. at
lie Creusot There are two of the latter, one
of solid steel and the other nickel steel.
The tests are being conducted before Il board
of naval officers. OF which Rear Admiral Kim
berly Is president
The result of the tests will be to determine
the standards which the Navy Depar tment will
expect TO be upheld by the American makers
in their future productions. The plates were
sold to the government by the foreign firms.
This IS the first public test of arulor steel
ever held in the world. A large number of
officials and officers were invited to witness the
tests and went down to Annapolis this morn
ing
