REVIEW OF REVIEWS CO.
WRECK OF THE GIANT BLAKELY GUN AT CHARLESTON This was an English gun, all steel, to which the prin- ciple of "initial tension" was successfully applied.
From the breech to the trunnions of the Blakely gun it was pear-shaped, for the purpose of resisting the tremen
...dous power- pressures. By " initial ten- sion" is meant intentional strain in the metal of the gun, scientifically placed, so as to counteract in a measure the strains set up by the powder discharge.
There is an inner tube, on the outside of which bands 1120] VIEW FROM THE REAR are shrunk so as to set up a strain of extension in the exterior band. By prop- erly combining these strains the extreme ten- sion due to the powder gases at their moment of greatest expansion does not affect the gun as injuri- ously as if these initial strains were not present.
