Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, delivered as a lecture to the Franklin Institute in 1893, explores the development of heavy ordnance in the United States during a critical period of industrial and military advancement. The author, a prominent ordnance engineer of the time, provides a detailed account of the manufacturing processes, materials science, and engineering principles behind the construction of powerful guns. He delves into the shift from muzzle-loading to breech-loading mechanisms, the rise of steel as the dominant material for gun construction, and the burgeoning use of new, smokeless powders. Throughout the book, the author compares American innovations to the developments of other nations, particularly those of Great Britain and France, highlighting the competitive nature of the arms race at the time. The book's examination of the technical challenges and triumphs in the creation of heavy ordnance offers a fascinating glimpse into the intersection of scientific progress, industrial ingenuity, and military ambition during the late 19th century, revealing the complex interplay of technological evolution and national rivalry.
