Interesting booklet, 1894, found by accident
« on: August 21, 2009, 06:03:55 AM »
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.
