Methods Of Creating The Cannon

Next in the development of machine guns came the Maxim, the machine gun with only one barrel. This gun with a belt of bullets that fed in one side and the empty belt came out the other side. It used the explosion from the bullets firing to load the next bullet. With the use of different

All these hand made weapons had a lot of range and body damage to others; first they tested their handmade objects to see were there any flaws that can be fixed for a better intension to make the weapon

Bligh commented on the level of creativity students have reached when utilizing the press this past year. “I have seen students use it to quickly transfer text or pattern to a work of art,” he said. “The students also used it to emboss or add pressure as well as experiment with

muzzles [the front of the muskets] of the pieces, and seemed to be endeavoring to close with

Field Artillery also known as “The King of Battle” dates back as far as the birth of the United States Army itself. At the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 1775, six artillery cannons stood and fought with much admiration. Due to poor leadership, five of the six cannons were lost and could not partake in battle. Henry Knox, a former bookseller, took over the artillery and created one of the most impressive and cohesive field artillery units that the United States Army has seen today. The artillery guns consisted of a large bronze or iron cannon, and a wooden frame connected with bolts wheeled on a carriage.

In which previous exercise did you create your Wood Kit, and what views were created in that exercise?

For this assignment you are to consider the five printing and one shooting methods outlined below. You will find that each of these techniques will produce interesting results. Start with a method that interests you and continue on from there.

The “cap and ball” had two barrels, which held nine .40 caliber rounds on the upper barrel, and a .63 caliber on the lower barrel, and came with the option of either an eighteen or twenty gauge shot barrel. One model was even fitted with a full length barrel (Pikes 27-30). This greatly aided the northern victory due to the enormous power it possessed over the confederate’s figure eight’s.

With beating the CSS Virginia in mind and the leaked design plans of the CSS Virginia, much more effort and planning went in the making of the USS Monitor. Swedish engineer John Ericsson was the lead designer of the Union ironclad. It was built from the ground up in just ninety days and was made entirely of iron, giving the vessel a leg up over its opposite. The key design feature that set the USS Monitor apart from the CSS Virginia was the turret that was “twenty-one feet across and eight feet high, the turret was constructed of eight layers of overlapping one-inch iron plate, and it revolved on a spindle… [The guns] were large-caliber guns, and because the turret could revolve, they could be pointed in any direction” (Symonds 101).

The American Civil War has a plethora of important events with major impacts on the eventual outcome. In this war, a significant event occurred on the coastline of Savannah, Georgia during the Battle of Ft. Pulaski, an important battle with definite defensive and logistical advantages as the prize to the victor. The innovation shown in this battle will forever leave an imprint in the history of the field artillery's modern cannon rifling system as it revolutionized influencing higher rates of accuracy at greater distances. The Union commander during that era, Cpt. Gilmore, showed how a once considered invincible “third system defense” fortress, built with seven foot wide walls with a legion of cannons, can be breeched and seized without any loss from enemy fire. With continuous and accurate fires while being out of reach from enemy fires this technology to which is still in use today in modern field artillery cannons. We will be exploring the historical timeline of this battle. Not just the significance of this particular fort battle in the Civil War, but also in how rifled cannon tubes changed the course of this battle.

The USS Arizona (or the BB-39) was the color blue, and took 2 years to paint! The BB-39 Arizona was very heavy, it weighed 31,400 tons! The Arizona was made out of steel and was almost 600 feet long. With all of the guns on the Arizona, it added an extra 2,462 tons. The Arizona was a very tall ship, it was taller than it was longer, the Arizona was 608 feet tall, and was only 600 hundred feet long! The USS Arizona’s hull was made out of steel and the rest was made of iron, the hull was made of steel because it made the ship lighter and faster.

Drilled and tapped based were forwarded to assembly by forklift truck, in wire-bound pallets holding bout 400 bases. This requires five forklift trips to move on "packet-release" quantity to assembly. (See question 1)

• Construction methods (C1, Section 1) assessing the selected substructure, superstructure and primarily elements and the process of assembly.

He argues that, while many processes were developed to improve metalworking after the war, the ones that ultimately prevailed were not the ones which were most efficient. He demonstrates how several alternate techniques actually had better results more quickly that the NC (Numeric Control) machining which eventually came to dominate the industries, and in fact the NC machines were often slower for a significant period of years.
