THE NEW wARsHIP TuRRET.
Sampson Not Inventor ot I"ei''-
Young Virginian Their originator
washington Times)

washington Times)
To Rear-Admiral Sampson has been
given the credit for the invention known
IS the superimposed turret, with when
the battleships Kearsarge and Kentucky
are fitted. Rear-Admiral Sampson was at
the head of the Ordnance Bureau Wheh
the superimDosed turret was approVeu
and IT'S trial on these new war vessels or
dered. but while Sampson is oflcially re-
sponsible for them, the one VINO concelV-
ed the idea and worked Il out was ldeute-
nant Joseph Strauss. a young Nirglnlan'
who has a remarkable knowledge OF ora
nance matters. The Introduction or such
turrets was so wide departure from the
ordinary system that IL was claimed py
its opponents the plan would prove
failure. and the ships be far less torInld-
able than the Iowa or indiana CLASS
Since these vessels were built, ofdhahce
experts have been favorabiy disposed 10
ward the new turrets, and II IS pieulcteo
the most satisfactory results Will be OBJ
tanned from them.
Lieutenant Strauss, the real inventor
Of the turret. was an ensign when the
Kearsarxe and Kentucky were being con-
sidered. and on duty IN the Ordnance bu-
reau here He developed while at Annap-
oils a decided turn toward ordnance, ana
his inventions are now among the most
valuable IN use Ia the navy
Lieutenant Strauss, without suggestion
from any one. drew up designs ior the
turrets. and presented them 20 Rear-Ad-
miral Sampson, who was not inclined 70
treat them at first with much considera-
rion. AS the value Of the system was pre-
ssnted bv Strauss the Admiral saw that
q design for mounting heavy guns on
shiubosrd had been suggested entirely
different from that adopted by any
mower. and at orce placed It before the
bureaus chiefs, who were then consider
ing plans for the ships. A prolonged con
troversy ensued. there being strong dit-
farences OF opinicn regarding the merits
OF the proposed system. Finally, now
ever. Il was adopted and applied 20 the
Kearsarge and Kentucky.
Lieutenant Strauss graduated hi6h IN
the class OF 1885, Of which Constructor j.
". Taylor also a Nirginlan, was the star
man. In this class were eight members
from Virginia, ali OF whom stood wlthii
the first fifteen The record has never
been surpassed by any state. On account
OF his marked ability Lieutenant Strauss
will shortly be detailed 20 outy at the III
dian Head Proving Station, and within q
few months will probably be In charge o.
