Tho Monster Twelve Inch Rifles Are Useless After Firing a Hundred Rounds, and That In Actual Time of Shell Passage Means Three Seconds. In the manufacture of big guns the engineer has certainly achieved some of bis most daring conquests, for tt Is doubtful tr there Is anything more wonderfully Cushioned or scleutillcully constructed than the mounter weapons found on the Intent battleships and In large forts. From their muzzles they arc capable of launching Into space shells weigh ing as much ns half a ton at a speed of thirty-five miles a minute, or 2,100 miles an hour. These death dealing niLssllcs may be so designed us to burst afr they uaveVorced' their way through a ship's side or Immediately they striko an object or at some point during their (light The big gun Itself consLstH of sev eral tubes, or cylinders, slipped over one another and numed after the let ters of the alphabet "A" u inside and scorched by the powder gases. IV goes over "A," and so on, tho out side tube of nil being knowu as tb Jacket. Each scpnrnte tube, or cylinder, 1 fashioned In much the same way. In tbe cose of the "A" tube for a. rwulve inch gun a huge solid steel Ingot I cast, weighing upwnrd of thirty tons. The ends having bevn cut off. the lu--got Is mounted In a lathe, audi a tube- like "trepanning" honr removwi a loivc ore from the center Tho Ingot l then dismounted from the liitlip una heated A long, hollow bar sumewhnt smaller tlian the CWtined bore of the gun is pussiil through the central huie. ami the lmrt Is phi ceil under a 2Ji(M ton tuigiiiL' press, which gradually hills ami draws It out tilling the bar. which Is kept iwl by water circulat ing through It. After Intag turned outside ami burctl inside the till tins to III' telllpel'tsl. and this is diwe by dipping It Into a tank tilled' with thou sands of gallon of cottonseed oil. As It would lie impossible to slip the H" ami ".'" tubes over the "A" tulio when cold, this illtnVult.T Is got over by heating them. The work, however, re quires great care mid constant atten tion. The heated cylinder, of course, decreases In length ns well as In diam eter ns it cools, mid. uuIonh great re millions are taken, it would naturally cool at tiio ends llrst. and cause the central part of the IiiIh to cool In a state of dangerous tension. To avoid such it thing happening one part Is cooled nrtltli lally by means of water Jets, wlille the other portions are heat ed by gas Ha mis. - We now coine to the wiring process Layers of fHilum-like steel wire are wound outside the Innermost eylliiiltn hut one. as metal Hi-ranged In this :"n.;j bursting strains ".

That the shell may tntrel "business end" foremost throughout Its Journey It must be given a twisting motion round its axis In other wolds, be made to spin. This rotation prevent Its turn ing head over hce.s. as it undoubt edly would do- if not spinning, and makes it travel farther and more ac curately. The .spinning motion . Is brought about by rilling the cutting of spiral grooves in tlie bore., or' In side of the. gun. This Is iloni by n long, hollow steel rod. which carries three tools lit the end and cuts three grooves lit once An the rilling i-oines so near the end of tile manufacture of n bg gun it must lie conducted with the great est cure, for a single badly out groove would spoil the gnu. now representing: perhaps $siO.nn in work mid material. Indeed, extreme care and accuracy characterize every process In the mak ing of bMivy ordnance. The steel for the tubes-Is tnndi o.-tirrnlly: the Ingots ure cost carefully anil rorgiil careful ly.
