STEEL RIBBONS AID.
BIG GUN BUILDING
MILES OF MATERIAL USED TO RE

Bore Of Weapons RlfIed to Increase
Accuracy Of Fire

One Of the chief sources Of strength
in big guns lies in the miles and miles
of steel ribbon with which the tube is
reinforced, says the ST. Paul Pioneer
Press.
This ribbon one sixteenth of an inch
thick and about quarter Of an inch
wide, is wound round the tube or core
of the great cannon. On twelve inch
gun about 1870 miles of the ribbon is
wound, weight of fifteen tons. The
ribbon has tensile strength OF 100
tons per square inch.
From the time the ingots Of STEEL
some of which are nearly 100 tons i'll
weight, are taken from the steel foun-
dry, where they are cast as octagonal
masses, to whom, as complete wear-
Oh, the gun is tested to prove it's pow
or and accuracy, scores of intricate
processes are gone through.
After being taken from the foundry
The mass of steel is dealt with by tls
machine shop where hole is made
in each ingot in what is known as
trepanning machine.
Under hydraulic press OF 10000
tons power, it is next forged to reduce
it to tube or jacket of the required
length and thickness of metal, where
IN it is passed to one of the large
machine shops, there to be finished in
machines ranging up to $50 feet in
length.
The tube is next reheated and tenn
pered or hardened in Oil baths, which
are under the ground level and Of
great depth, so that the tube may be
suspended vertically in a bath while
the heat is steadily maintained at the
required temperature by carefully con.
trolled gas Jets.
The tube is lowered into and lifted
out of these baths by Goliath"
cranes capable Of dealing with weights
Of 100 tons and the tubes seventy

The same plant is used in the sub

GOOD RoAfbs ! iil ADVANTAGE,
They Are Tine Say: Savers and Source 81

Only the person who has much oc-
casion to use them can estomate the
great advantage of good roads. Thev
arc not only time saver but likewise
great source of economy. Every year
more and more the building of good
roads is being agitated, and in tho
sections whore such operation has
been practiced the expense has founu
full recompence in the advancement
IT the value of property and the gem
.ral advantage to the community.
Not until vehicles carl,e into general
use was the subject of the katterment
of the roads seriously considered The
greatest beneficiary in this respect
vas John London McAdam, an olo
Scotch gentleman, who living in Ayr
Shire, a neighborhood of detestable
reads, hit upon the happy idea that If
you cover q road with quantity Of
small stones you will keep it dry and
prevent ruts.
So popular and useful was the sug
gestion of McAdam that his system
was adopted throughout Great Britain.
and that is the reason why today that
country is recognized as having the
best roads in the world. The system of
road building very early took his
name, and until the introduction OF tho
automobile all good roads were ma
cadamized, and today his system OF
the small stones is used as the foun-
dalton for the automobile roads that
cover the country.
McAdam was born in 1856. While
yet "a schoolboy attending the parish
school at Maybole, McAdam gave
signs of his future eminence as road
maker by constructing model sec
ton of the road between Mayhole and
Kirkswold. His father having died
when McAdam was young, he came to
America to be cared for by his uncle,
a New York merchant. Here he :. re-
NAMED until the end of the revolu-
ton, when he returned to his Scot
tish home and in turn was made !
magistrate, a deputy lieutenant and
the road trustee.
