AN ARMoR PLATE TEST.
Naval Officers rIeased-A sixteen.

washington Star5


naval officers are much pleased over
the result of an armor- plate test made
AT the Indian Head proving ground.
There are two class of manufacturers
patronized by the Government who
carry on ceaseless struggle for supre-
macy. They endeavor 10 supply the
double want of the Government. first
to get an armor plate that cannot be
penetrated. and second, to manufacture
pro1ectile that will penatrate any
arinoI piate. The test at Indian Head
Is victory for the projectile maker.
one of the Carnegie reforged plates
made FOR the Russian Government was
used. and it was considered one of the
llnest ever turned out in any country
II was ten inches thick and the projec-
Tile used against 1t was a six-inch capp-
ed Dressed-stcel shot. made by Isaac n.
Johnson Il Sons. of Spuyton Duyvil. N.

100 feet per second and penetrated to
a depth of seven inches. then breaking
in Two pieces. second siN-inch shot
of the same character was fired at the
ten-inch plate with the unusual velocity
OF $500 feet per second, when the pro-
1ectile went through the plate and back
ing and two half-inch plates. burying
itself in the earth for about ten feet and
was in first-class condition when recOv-
cred. Ordnance experts usually regard
a proiectile as doing hrst-class work if
equal to its own caliber. so that the test
at Indian Head was regarded as re-
markable.
ForginEs will shortly be delivered to
the War Department for l6-inch gun,
to be assembled at the Watervllet arse
nal. This gun is the largest ever at
tempted by the Government, and was
provided for by the last session of Con-
gress as experiment. 1t will cost
$4,000 when completed.
The 16-inch gun has long been advo-
Gated by General Flagler, chief OF ord
nance. although the ordnance experts
of the Navy Department have declared
that Il 12-inch Is sufficient for both war
vessels and coast defenses. General
F'lagler has claimed that vessel hit
with 16-inch gun would be rendered
unfit. for service, while ii might with
stand shots from q gun Of smaller cali
Der. He has maintained that larger
gun can be used on land than would be
practicable at sea. While General Miles
is in the northwest on his tour of in
spection he will visit the land fortifica-
lions of this country opposite Van
couver. and 1t is at this point where the
great gun will be placed. II is under
stood 10 be the opinion of General Miles
that the larger part of the money ap-
propriated by Congress for fortifications
about Puget Sound should be spent on
the works to be built opposite the Brit
ish defenses of Vancouver. General
Miles will also visit San Francisco. to
test the dynamite gun battery erected
there by the army engineers. This bat
terry was tested when ii was installed,
but the tests were not so thorough as Ii
is the intention OF General Miles to
make them during his prospective visit
