Prima edizione
Removed Document. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. U.S. Senate, Mis. Doc., No. 163 ; 35 pages; Removed Document, clean, unmarked, complete. OCLC 1199257265 OCLC 1199257265 Wood engraved illustrations demonstrating power of the guns and cannons; includes three appendices -- Appendix A: The Extraordinary results of the Nut Island Experiments; Appendix B -- Showing that Cast-Iron Guns are Strong Enough for Heaviest and Most Severe Charges when Old and Annealed by Age; Appendix C: Showing that Steel is too Strong for Guns and that Steel Guns, of Large Caliber, have failed in all Countries whenever or wherever Tested. Norman Wiard (1826-1896), a former Canadian, working for the United States during the war, invented several pieces of light ordnance which, although apparently excellent weapons, do not seem to have been particularly popular. Norman Wiard was born in Ontario where at an early age he became foreman of a foundry and began experiments with ordnance. During the Civil War he served as Superintendent of Ordnance Stores, a post which offered considerable opportunity for his inventive proclivities and incidentally brought him into consultation regarding weapons development with both President Lincoln and Secretary of War Stanton. In the 1880s he operated the American Standard Ordnance Company in New York. The Nut Island experiments were anthorized in the beginning by act of Congress approved May 23, 1872. The experiments were contin. ued through the years 1873, 1874, and 1875 with such remarkable results as to attract the attention of experts throughout the civilized world; and although the firings terminated six years ago, and every military power has steadily continued to make enormous annual expenditures in efforts to increase the power of artillery, no real improvement has been made.

Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, written in the 1860s by a former military inventor, is a historical review of the development of large-caliber guns in the United States. Through a detailed examination of cannons used during the American Civil War, particularly the Parrott gun, the author argues that the technological advancements of the time were insufficient to produce reliable heavy ordnance. By highlighting failures in both design and manufacturing processes, he underscores the importance of safety and reliability in weaponry and advocates for continuous improvements in ordnance design. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
