One hundred and thirty-eight years
ago today the United States establish
ed its first arsenal or gun factory at
Springfield, Mass, when cannon as
well as muskets were made for the
Continental army. Soon after 1t es-
tablished another factory at Har-
per's Ferry. In 1874 the British gov
eminent prohibited the expectation Oh
arms to the American colonies, but
this act did not dishearten the rest
less colonists, who numbered among
themselves hundreds OF expert gun
smiths and cannon barers. In near
is all the colonies cannon were pc
ing bored by private individuals and
when the war broke out there was u
remarkable assortment OF brass anG
iron guns of the smooth bore muz2ie-
loading type. The best of these ~Sa
an 1S.pounder which could throw
round shot from one to two miles.
These guns were from five TO eight
feet in length and it was with sucli
ordinance that Washington had
equipped the forts around New York.
Some of these guns had been captured
from the British and others were
made by the colonists.-but the loss
of these guns and the evacuation OF
New York forced upon the Congress
at Philadelphia the necessity OF es-
tablishing government cannon fac
tory at once. This canton factory
was one Of the first institutions es-
tabltshed by the Continental Con-
gress and some Of the very best ar
ttllery of that day was made by the
inventive genius Of Americans.

First American Gun Factory

Today the United States has two
OF the greatest gun factories in the
world. the celebrated Krupp's not
excepted. At the Washington navy
ward the famous 14-inch naval gut:
is made and at Watervliet, N. H..
Is turned out the 16-inch seacoast
defense gun whose effective range
is nine miles and which can throw
n projectilc 81 miles. The maximum
energy OF this gun Is $4,000 foot
tons. This monster is 40 feet and
20 inches long, the projectile is
five feet four inches long with steel
penetration of 42.3 inches. The cost
OF firing one shot is $1,000 and
weight OF the rifle without the car
rage Is 1875 tons. To cast this gun
more than 200 cannon Of the IS
Founders used In 1906 would .haye
to be melted down. Washington did
not have enough cannon in his whole
army at one time to make one OF
these big guns! All the leading
powers Of Europe have bigger guns,
|! but none OF them, not even tho AZ
centimeter NKrupp siege guns, SUR,
pass this gun in energy. Our {nayasls
and seacoast defense guns represent
today the high water mark in can
inon-making and they are remarkable
illustrations of how for inventive
genius has progressed in gun-maktng
from the days OF tile American 'ReNo=-;i
luton and that, too in the face Of. tho
fact that 80 years ago the big gun in
this country was not greatly supez
rior to what it was in the days OF
Yorktown. ~ y Is
