Successful trials ot theUsiith powered 12-inch 46-ton wire-bound guns, with which the new British battle-ships of the Majestic class are being armed have directed special attention to this s'r.N'tV tem of construction for ordnance. The principle of wire construction with or- }anme is of very ancient date. In "he very earliest days of cannon it was Is common custom to strengthen the barrel of a gun by winding rope or hide nrmmd it. It does not. appear. however, Ihat. the sysUun obtained any credit un- til about forty or fifty years (LEO. when the origin of its reintroduction for the manufacture of modern otulnatttut is claimed for Dr. Woodridge, of the Unit.- ed States, as wvll Wy for Mr. Brunt-.1, tho celebrated J‘iukl'ull ongim-t-r, Mr. Long-, ridge, however, app-um to be the first person who originated tho prim-Ht plan and painted out the mode of “inning the uiro now in me in England, so my In 1885 this gentlvumn milled in! tuition to the increase in the strength of guns which could be obtained by the mm ot wire in their eonstruion. but although experiments were made nt various Limos, it was not. until 1881 that the question of using wire was seriously taken up in England. Between the years 1875 and 1879 several wire-wound guns were made by the Armstrong firm. at Els- wick. the largest being A 10-inch Run. ‘Imd the designs were even prepared for 1ruuPfyrturuyr 110-ton wire-wound guns. lIn 1883 a. 10-inch wire gun was made at Equick, and shortly afterward expori- ments were carried out in France with Iwire guns. The form of the wire used 'lin that country. however. was cirrular in section. instead of rectangular, such l?.: is adopted for the Government ser- vice in England. the tlimmmium of the wire bring 6-1001!” by. 2/.r-100.rlvs of an inch.

Tls.erts is no oLher gun in which the, wire principle has been carried to such an ext.ent as in the new 12-inch gun. in which the wire is wound from one end to the oLher. In the lighter gum it is wound only over the chamber and to a point about half way down the bore to uufporc the maximum pressures. ‘hore are several proceases through which the material has to pass in t e coysstruqti9.n ot a. modern gun. prior to Iwi.ro winding.

The system of the wire winding gun. is exceedingly simple. A tube, or bar- rel, of steel is surmounted bv a. layer of steel hoops. or, in the awe of the Ig-inch gun.by one Angle bani). Over this limp steel wire is wound. t ic number of sun- ceuive layers of wire varying in differ- ent Cans from nine to seventy-eight lay- ers in depth. The wire, or ribbon, is rectangular in section. and is wound on the barrel of the piece at an average strain of about forty tones to the square inch. The strain actually varies with each sui‘mmive layer. being grrntest with the first layer; and least with the, last; layer. To wind the wire the gun is put, into an ordinary lathe, the wire hav- ing previously been wound on a large drum. This drum is [Missed over an elevated shaft. working automatically with the lathe and controlled by a brake. One end of the wire is secured to the gun by being "used under aring of metal and screwed down. The lathe being then turned around, the wire iu wound off the drum unthe gun. It "u to he noted that the wire is not wound direct- ly on the berrel. or inner tube. but on the limping which covers it, although in the case of the Pe-incl gun this hoop- ing taken the shape ot a tube as long an the bore of the, gun itself.
