POWER OF A BIG NAVAL GUN
Progress In Ordnance illustrated by
Comparison Of Ancient and
Modern Arms OF Warfare.

Lieut.. A. Trevor Dawson, II. NJ
NJ. Inst. G. f., OF Messrs. vlckers.
Sons and Maxim, in recent lecture
TO the Junior Institution OF Engineers
in London. illustrated the progress in
ordnance by q comparison OF a 10.
inch muzzle loading gun OF about 1864
and one OF the latest breech leaders.
The 1864 gun defeated plates of 16-
inch thickness, while 52-inch wrought
iron plates would be required to re.
sist the proiectile OF the 1909 gun, and
these would be altogether useless
were capped shot used In other words
the penetration of wrought iron of the
old gun at It's maximum range OF 5000
yards was only eight inches. whereas
the modern gun at four times this
range-24.000 yards--can penetrate
l7.5 inches of wrought iron. Notwith
standing the great advance in power
the weight has only been trebled In
other words. the energy developed per
ton of gun is more than doubled, while
the rapidity of fire within a given
time is quadrupled. The 1864 gun con
sisted of a steel barrel and wrought
iron forged breech piece strengthened
by FIVE superposed layers OF wrought
iron coils, each layer. except the
last, being shrunk on in two portions.
The 1909 gun consists OF an inner
tube. called the A tube, over which
is shrunk the B tube, this b tube be
ing In two portions. Around these
tubes are wound at varying degrees
of tension a number of layers of wire
commencing with IL layers at the
muzzle and increasing to so at the
breech end. The length of wire used
in this operation is about 100 miles
The wire is protected and the gun sub
stantially strengthened by the add
ton OF C tube and Jacket. Nickel
steel is used for the tubes, with the
exception of the jacket, which is OF
carbon steel.
