THE DELICATE CHRONOSCoPE.

The chronoscope, which is also in the
office, is an even more delicate piece OF
machinery, and records the time from the
explosion In the powder chamber to the
instant the shell leaves the gun This is
done by a spark on the machine as the
powder is exploded and another when the
proiectiIe passes the muZZle, and in so do
ing breaks the small wire in connection
with the instrument. a drawing is made
of every test and later transferred TO blue
print paper and put on record.
Now that the strength, aiming quality
and velocity of the shell Of a gun have
been tested, the fight between it and the
armor, such as is used on modern battle
ships, begins. Sometimes an experimental
target. such as the counterpart of the sec
ton Of battleship. is set up, and against
this various sized shells are fred In order
to note the destructive effect on the In
terror.
our newest battleship IS TO cost some
where In the neighborhood OF AlOOO,WO, and
the greater part OF this expenditure goes
for guns and armor, and the latter Is quite
as rigidly tested as the former. a search
ing chemical analysis of every piece Is
made, and it must undergo something Ike
thirty different examinations. A thorough
ly equipped laboratory is maintained for
this purpose at Indian Head.
After the armOr has been pronounced
chemically perfect, a sample plate is set
up on the proving grounds, usually about
three hundred and sixty feet from the gun
which is TO try its powers Of resistance.
This process is quite as dangerous as the
test OF gun, IL not more so, for steel
splinters are likely to fly through the air,
and here again the greatest prccaution IS
taken and everybody Is kept out of the
danger zone. After the terrific crash and
the shower Of steel have passed away the
result Of the gun fire on the armor is eX-
amined by the officers and a Photographic
record made by the official photographer.
