In ordinary built up guns, strength to re.
sist explosion depends largely upon per-
feet machine work in boring, turning and
shrinking one tube upon another, and re.
quires the highest mechanical skill. The
Brown segmental Wire Tube system
avoids the machine work in this part of
construction while it in effect multiplies
the number of jackets, making the tube Of
sheetsteel and wire jackets instead offorg-
ings, thus greatly increasing strength
while reducing time and cost of construc-
ton.
The wire and fat sheets constitute about
two-thirds of the weight of the gun and
cost much less than steel forgings, while
being very much stronger.
gun much lighter does the same work
and a range and penetration never at
tempted by built guns is secured with per-
feet safety in the Brown Segmental Wire
Tube Gun.
RANGE OVER 40 MILES.
The first question asked by a civilian on
having his attention called to new gun is,
how far will it throw shot? He naturally
knowsthatthe greater the range the great
er the penetration at a given distance.
Theartillerist inquiries, what's the pene-
tration or energy of the piece, and from
that, computes the range.
To answer the question in the minds OF
the people, our baIlistlc engineer, Col.
James NJ. ingalls,, ofthe U s.. Army, retired,
has kindly computed for US the range OF
the ten-inch gun, 1902 model, as follows:-
"The range OF As degrees elevation, COO
pound shot, $500 feet per second muzzle
velocity, will be 4o.365 miles"
The nearest approach to this range and
efficiency is an American p inch gun, com
puted by the same authority to have less
than "a miles range and corresponding
penetration.
About $4,000, coo is now the average
yearly purchase of guns. by all nations
combined, and the expenditure in this line
Is steadily increasing. Probably from II
to 20 guns are purchased for use abroad to
one for America.
