experienced machinist and advanced
worker said TO reporter:
This general development is not due
alone To improvements in guns or pow
der or projectiles. but To the simulta-
neous and progressive development OF
all three
Less than half a century ago the
heaviest gun known was the sixty
eight FOUNDER. This gun was about
nine inches bore and fired sixty eight
pound projectile with a sixteen pound
charge of gunpowder. but was power
less against four and half inches of
wrought iron. Our battleships today
are equipped with twelve inch guns.

through fifty-one inches of solid
wrought iron. In olden times Ii re.
quired nearly four minutes to load and
fire one of the now obsolete sixty eight
twelve inch guns can be loaded and
fired in about fifty seconds with per-
feet safety.
If projectile from one of the old
sixty-eight Founders hit its mark IL
was due TO good luck rather than ia
good management, but it is matter
of proud record that our modern
twelve inch guns have scored seven
hits in less than six minutes at target
practice. while our six inch gun has a
record for nine shots and nine hits in
one minute"
