Great gun cast at Reading iron works in 1860s
Preparations began at the Scott works of Reading iron works for casting a large multicharge cannon. Two reverberating furnaces charged with coal and iron produced a flood of molten metal poured into a six minute pour. The gun, 35 feet long with a 26 inch diameter, features four powder pockets to accelerate the ball. Trial will occur at Sandy Brook. Amber witnesses included military and civilians from New York. A separate note recounts Rutherford Hayes seeking a croquet set charged to the executive contingency fund, later questioned by General Porter.
