Test for Gathmann Gun at Sandy Hook Proving Grounds
Early next month the Gathmann gun undergoes a practical test at the Sandy Hook proving grounds. Floating targets, nearly completed, mimic a battleship broadside with one target for the Gathmann and another for the army's 12 inch rifle. An army navy panel will report results. About $55,000 and $50,000 were appropriated in congress for target construction and prep. The law requires at least ten shots from the 12 inch weapon and torpedo shells from the Chicago man's gun. Targets reproduce the side construction of a modern battleship with Krug armor plates eight by sixteen feet and twelve inches thick.
