Interesting little booklet, 1894, describing a tour of the Naval Gun Factory and museum, along with a musem catelog. Some of the cannons in the catalog are familiar to me as they are still there, but a number of others are not. At the end there's an intersting description with illustraions of early artillery. In fig. 3, it looks like the artist was confused about the threadng.
