Saving Time and Labor in the Making of Heavy Ordnance
A detailed look at American gun making shows how private factories and the War Department collaborate to produce and rebuild large artillery. It covers the evolution of built up guns, shrinking jackets, hooped jackets, and the use of cranes, with emphasis on efficiency gains, factory scale at Washington and Waterbury, and the proving grounds at Indian Head. It notes the shift from obsolete methods to modern practices and the importance of speed and durability in naval and land warfare.
