It was about lOi feet long, and as much as 17 inches diameter at the larger end. The boring and turning were effected, and the construction of the gun,— of which a longitudinal section is given below,— was under the direction of some of the authorities at Woolwich.

The finished steel gun only weighed about 2^ tons ; and, to carry out the established system of absorbing recoil by mere crude weight, a cast-iron jacket, or " chemise," was made to slip over it, of no less than 7 tons weight. This was bored at the bottom to fit the steel gun, which was here secured to the chemise, by the wrought-iron breech-ring screw, passing through the chemise, and being tapped into the steel.
