All you see from the outside OF tho
steel shell tower is the long muEzlc
pointing suggestively out of the for

these walls of steel varies in thickness
from eight TO twelve inches. You enter
the stronghold by heavy steel door In
the rear. You now observe that the
gun is erected on supports over a pit
thirty-fve or forty feet deep. This pit
exactly corresponds with the position
the gun will occupy when mounted
aboard ship. The machinery you sec
at the rear of the gun is an ammuni-
ton hoist and hydraulic apparatus for
working the gun. AS you contemplate
these you can scarcely help wondering

IN connection with artillery. In point
of fact wired guns are the strongest
in existence. The rified steel tube you
saw in the department just left Is ca
pable of withstanding a pressure Of
fOrty-five tons; wired, the tensile re-
sistance viii equal 40 tons, and pro-
jectiles may be fired from 1t at the
rate of three a minute without the
slightest fear Of the gun bursting.
The wire is wrapped on to the tube
in the same way as thread is wound
round bobbin. The huge coil is flxed
overhead, and as the powerful ma
chinery revolves layer after layer is
wound round the gun taut as II cast
on and smooth and level as veneering.
Think of it! One hundred miles Of
steel wire, sprlngy as quicksilver, guild
ed automatically by machinery, and q
strand tapping by the thOusandth part
of an inch!
Even now, however. that gun is in
quite an embryo stage. 1t has about
a dozen further processes to go through
before 1t is ready to hand over to the
government that has ordered it or
sent to the stock room, where many
hundreds of guns of all sizes and pat
terms are kept ready for immediate
sale TO anybody wanting them.
You leave the turning shop and pres
emily find yourself in front of what
your guide declares to be furnaces, but
which you think would be better de-
scribed as infernos. You are surprised
to learn that these furnaces are heated
by gas. and ON inquiring the reason
you are told that 1t is for the sake OF
purity and cleanliness. The grit and
dirt from any kind of fuel would ruin
the work 6ape at these furnaces. And
what is that work? Putting on the
outer jacket of the gun-just a little
matter to buoy up those miles OF wire
and inches of forged steel within that
again.
