Mnmmoth ma- chines reline and rerifie huge guns: electric cranes of herculean strength Jift and carry mighty steel tubes as though they were jack straws: genious electric furnaces heat 16-inch gun barrels so that subsequently “liners” may be shrunk skilifull into position.” A well organized wor shop repairs and_maintains the o nance for the United States Na Research and _experimentation also constantly in progres new types of armament and to remedy any deficlencles in those now in use. Guns from one-pounders to 16 inches. up to 50 calibers in length, are manufactured and repaired in this beehive of naval industr. The largest guns weigh 286.135 pounds | apiece. Indeed. to the most it seems a difficult task merely to move these monster composites of steel and technical skill. The guns are built up by encircling one mighty cylinder of steel over another by heat processing methods. The 16-inch gun when completed is a product of 10 such procedures. An eight-inch gun weighs 19 tons and fires a 260 pound projectile. A 124nch gun tips the scales at tons and shoots a charge of 870 pounds. of the 16-nch gun pounds.

In this novel manner the 10 or a dozen forgings which are required to build a modern gun are assembled, one upon the other, averlapping the points of the preceding uniis: Aok HE gun factory is kept busy at present repairing and renewing the ordnance of our national fleet. | You can fully appreciate that this is considerable of a task when you un- derstand that Uncle Sam's naval strength now includes 18 battleships, 8 armored cruisers, 11 scout cruisers, more than 300 destroyers and in ex- cess of 80 submarines. Then there are scores of auxiliaries, all of which carry modern ordnance which must be Kept in serviceable shape. Whenever the ordnance of a certain ship requives repair, the worn guns re shipped to Washington, either by ail or water, from the dry dock or navy vard where that particular ves- sel “ports for maintenance service, and newly repaired guns are imme- | diately installed. The old guns may | need to be rerifled or provided with | new liners. The repair work at the Washington Navy Yard must be per- | formed “on_definite schedule. ~Some | other ship will require these guns in the n future and must receive them. | The facilities of the navy yard are harnessed for the aid of other Gov- | srnment departments when ordnance | work is slack enough so that some outsjde job can be accepted. The |ambition of the United States Navy is {to keep its wonderful ordnance plant engaged constantly in productive work. When the gun factory manu- ractures mail boxes for the Post Of- | fice Department, money plates for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing or repair parts for mail-carrying air- planes, you may be sure that these articles when completed will be sub- jected to rigorous inspection and service tests as though they came from commercial shops. The navy yvard has to satisfy specification re- quirements just as though it were performing work for a professional project instead of for a sister depart- ment of the United States Govern- ment. The machinery installation in the huge gun shop—it was bullt as a wartime need—consists of 19 enor- mous lathes ranging in size from 102 inches’ swing by 120 feet long to 120 inches swing by 204 feet long. These machines are driven by electric mo- tors of varying capacity, running up as high as 100 horsepower. One -of the gun factory lathes is extraordi- nary in that it has a feed screw which is five inches in diameter and 202 feet long. The screw is made in two sec- tions that are joined together with such neatness that the joint is hard to find. | There are also two rifing ma- chines of amazing efficlency adapted, | for handling the heaviest rifles made. | Other smaller equipment is employed In making secondary battery guns. * koK % EARERS of tremendous loads, seven electric cranes—which can handle, respectively, from 11 to 380 tons—expedite transportation in the gun shop. Three of the largest cranes carry loads as great as the capacity of a small freight train. These electrical wizards replace untold millions of manpower muscles. In fact, it would take so many men to lift and move one of the large guns that the workmen would be in each other’s way. Confusion and chaos would re- sult if human labor were employed. Electrical power works silently and efficlently and is a modern Ajax in its ability to lift and move mighty loads. The activities of the cranes are governed from central stations, where pilots operate control levers and make electricity do their bidding. Great guns which weigh enough to crush the average Washington dwell- !ing to smitherens are moved from specially constructed cars to lathe or from lathe to furnace as though guided by magical power. When these guns are repaired traveling cranes place them on special gun trucks for transportation outside the shop to other cranes, which carry them to the water front. There they are deposited on special bargés and conveyed down the Potomac to Dahl- gren, the ordnance proving ground of the United States Navy. The mammoth guns are tested under the widest possible range of firlng conditions. The service condi- tions to which they will be exposed on shipboard are simulated. Eventu- ally, If the guns pass all the inspec- | tion tests, they are returned to the ships where they belong. If flaws or defects are found the guns are re- turned immediately to the Navy Yard, so that these errors of construction, repair or adjustment may be righted. Subsequently occur more firing tests at Dahigren. The qrdnance, as final- ly mounted again on the vessel where it belongs, is in as perfect con- dition as human and mechanical skill can place it. The 14:inch naval guns made at the Washington Navy Yard and ship- ped to France during the World War proved superior to any weapons in the allied armies. Admiral C. P. Plunkett, who was then in charge of the operation of our large naval guns, reported subsequently to the House committee on naval affairs that the work done by the local navy yard in the construction of these batteries was the greatest trilumph of that pro- duction department. ‘While these powerful guns were in use, the enemy were unable to move troops or transport supplies. The guns had a range of 41,000 yards, and could be fired from any desired point. As soon as these l4-inch ‘scatter- ruins” went into action the enemy had to seek shelter holes. The five guns fired a total of 782 shells, weigh- ing 1,400 pounds each. The French were astounded at the accuracy of the fire. * Kk % ¥ NE of the greatest difficulties en- countered in using these giant guns was that of transporting them over the railroads. They were so heavy that the French engineers at first refused permission for their transportation. When the long-range German guns began firing on Paris, and it was realized that the American guns alone could stop it, official con- sent for the movement of Uncle Sam's “big Berthas' was granted. The guns were moved over scanty bridges, which shivered under the mighty load and almost collapsed. The train ne- gotlated curves which the guns were never made to go around. Steep grades were climbed at a snail's pace. And when the destination was finally reached the bird had flown. Germans flitting about on high had seen the approach of the ordnance train. They warned their artilleery compatriots, who fled. Each of these 144nch guns was carried on a special railroad mount, together with suitable ammunition HE row of brick dwellings on the east side of First, between F pitol and A streets northeast, was made a mili- tary prison in the Spring or Summer of 1861.

They were marched to Capitol Hill, where they were lodged in the new prison. One of them is Lieut. Col. B. B.

An- other prisoner was Clayborn Langley of the 1st Virginia Infantry The following is from The Star, July “The prison intended for and no deser “pr 1t the Old Capitol is prisoners of war ors or soldiers charged with other offenses are to be confined there. Yesterday 10 more prison were brought over. About dus five of them were escorted from Gen- Mansfield’s headquarters to the prison by a guard of United States marines under Sergt. Mix. Passing along the Avenue an excited crowd gathered around, composed of soldiers who had been in the battle of Sunday (First Bull Run, July 21) and some citizens. The cry of ‘Kill them' was raised and the marines had hard work by jobbing with their bavonets and threatening the crowd to keep them from the priscners. Stones were thrown and one of the prisoners, a Louisiana zouave, was struck. At the Capitol, the sergeant, finding his men 80 hard pressed, made a halt and prepared for extreme measures be- fore proceeding to the prison. The crowd, perceiving that the marines were loading their muskets, began 1o keep at a more respectful distance and the prisoners were safely caged. It s probable that no more will be carried through the city so openly.

Run, the remembrance of which seemed to excite the ire of the crowd.” The point* which I emphasize in the above paragraph is that “the prison at Old Capitol is intended for prisoners of war.” Taken in con- nection with the quotation from The Star. of the day before, that “ten A ’prlsnners of war were taken to the ‘new’ prison,” you cannot doubt that the Old Capitol Prison was a young | institution. In the quotation” from | The Star of July 25 you will get a glimpse of conditions. Soldiers and citizens were stoning prisomers of war, crying “Kill them!" and threat- ening their guard, put arawing off when the marines loaded their mus- kets. That was a fragment of the rabble of Washington. All citles at all times have rabble. That rabble was using patriotism as a mask for its meanness. Some men profess that the Washington of their youth was perfect and that all its.people were virtuous. Another glimpse you get from the quotation is that after the Union rout at Bull Run stories of barbarity by the enemy were current. An_enemy that beats us is often barbaric. On the north house of the Old Capitol is a bronze: tablet, inscribed: “Congress convened here, 1815-1819, while the Capitol was being rebuilt, and here also the inauguration of President Monroe took place in 1817. Later the building became known as the ‘Brick Capitol,’ and was the home of any Congressmen, including John Calhoun, who died within its walls, March 31, 1850. During the Civil War the bullding was used as a prison and called the ‘Old Capitol Prison." " ‘The Rambler believes that in tell ing you the story of the Old Capitol Prison, or so much of it as he can read In records, he will stir the mem- ory of many persons and perhaps en- large the understanding of others Many familles of the District and near counties of Maryland and V ginia were ‘“represented” in that prison. The charges against nearly all the prisoners were political or sectional. Men were charged with being sples, with giving aid to the enemy, and with murdering United States pickets. A home-keeping man who was never out of bed later than 9 o'clock and who would jump at the sound of a firecracker might be charged with being a Confederate spy and have marked opposite his name on the prison register, “A very desperate character.” with the murder of United States pickets because Mosby's Partisan Rangers or White’s Independent Cav- alry attacked a Union picket post and some malevolent neighbor would tell the Union commander at Falls Church, Tysons Cross Roads or Lewinsville, that John Smith was one of Mosby's men. John Smith might then be sent to the Old Capitol Prison, charged with the murder of Union pickets. In the Federal view, Mosby's and White's rangers were outlawt In the Confederate view they were soldiers. I am not in- formed as to the ethics of shooting pickets. Here is an account of one ot these cases: ‘‘Another Picket Murdered"—Fort Albany (Roache's), Alexandria County, July 26 (1861). “Editor of The Star: Men might be charged | Old Capitol Prison Is Yesterday afternoon a member of | the New York regiment doing picket duty a mile this side of Falls Churc| was shot at Galpin's well for water. The spot is just where the 1st Connec- ticut Regiment was encamped previ- ous to its march for Bull Run. He was shot from the woods nearby and received one ball in the abdomen that passed through his body and another through his arm. He was promptly brought down to this point and died at 4 o'clock this morning. His mur- derers were, of course, secession pick- ets or scouts concealed in the woods.” Another account of this case in The Star follows: “A picket of Company | K, 24th New York Volunteers, named George W. Fox, was shot at his post, Baileys Cross Roads, about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He had gone across the road to get a drink of water and a mounted trooper of the secessionists rode up and shot him through the arm and abdomen. He was brought to Fort Runyon, where he died this morning. The deceased was a native of Jefferson County, N Y.: was a school teacher and volun- teered for the war.” * ok ok ok OST of the men jailed at the Old Capitol on the charge of mur- dering Unlted States pickets were of Mosby's or White's cavalry and, so far as my record shows, they were released on taking the oath of al- legiance or engaging, on honor, not to give ald to the enemy. These men, uniformed, made quick attacks, often at night, on parties of Union troops. One expioit of Mosby's command was in passing the Union lines at night and making prisoner of a general (Stoughton) and part of his staff at that general's headquarters at Fair- fax Court House. If you insist, I will tell you that story, though I wrote it when I used to tramp the roads and trails from Fairfax village, Centerville, Ox Hill and Chantilly on to Stone Bridge, Henry Hill, Groveton Corners—where my old friends, the Dogans, lived—the abondoned railroad cut at Sudley and Gainsville. In the course of the rambles many persons have sald to me: “I was In the Old Capitol prison,” or “My fa- ther was dragged off to the Old Cap- itol prison,” or “My grandfath put in the Old Capitol priso The speakers felt that moral turpitude was not implied by a term in that pris- on. The old man seemed proud to tell that he had been in the Old Capi- tol prison; the daughter was proud to tell that her father had been “drag- ged off” to the Old Capitol, though it was plain she would never forgive them that dragged him. and the cars and auxilliarles. The gun weighed 96 tons, had a muzzle Vv locity of 2,800 feet per second, and & maximum range of 52,000 yards. It was so supported in its mount that it could be elevated from a horizontal position to an angle of 45 degrees. The gun cars and mounts used for the transportation and anchorage of this huge armament were also de- signed, evolved and perfected at the Washington Navy Yard. Nothing like them had ever previously been contrived by mind of man. Something which you have doubtless never seen before, and hence navy yard equipment which will intrigue your interest, is the remarkable shrinking pit where multitudinous masses of metal are literally cooked at high temperatures. The metal ex- pands as heated and thereafter con- tracts when cooled. Expansion and contraction are used instead of the most powerful bands or bolts ever pro- duced to merge the various parts of the guns together. Construction had to be topsy-turvied when the great concrete chamber for ordnance shrinkage operations was buflt. On account of unstable sofl conditions, the comcrete walls of the cavernous pit were begun at the surface and bullt downward instead of starting at the bottom and work- ing upward. In place of digging the Dit to a depth of 100 feet, supporting with timbers and then laying the fqundation, this mighty mass of con- crete, with walls about 6 feet thick and each section about 6 feet high, was cast. After it had set and hard- ened, the digging was begun again. This' wall was undermined and low- ered. Then another section was cast :\like the first and bedded solidly upon lit. This plan involved excavating, Studied distinction that her ancestor had a barred chamber in that place. Other- wise the Rambler would not take up details of the history of the famous prison. In the “Records of the Rebel- lion,” T find what follow “Headquarters City Guard Office of the Provost Marshal. Washington, D. C., February 14, 1862. “Brig. Gen. A. Porter, Provost Marshal, “General: In accordance with the request of the Hon. William A. Se- ward. Secretary of State, I have the honor to submit to you the following report—The request of the Honorable Secretary of Mtate enquires only in re- lowering, adding additional sections on concrete wall, and again digging and lowering until eventually mon- olithic walls 100 feet high were an- chored in the ground as boundaries of the shrinkage pit. The bottom was then cast of concrete 10 feet thick. This upside-down system of build- ing the shrinkage pit is typically illus- trative of the mechanical and engi- at the navy yard. “There is an effi- cient way to do everything” seems to be the slogan at this ordnance establishment. Seeking out new and efficient methods, as well as_short cuts, of performing complicated jobs, keep sclence, skill and practice busy. * ok Kk THE shrinkage pit at the western end of the gun shop is 45 feet wide and 70 feet in length. It is sub- divided into 10 wells or gun pits, each of which is 12 feet square and 90 feet deep. In each of these wells is an elevating table so constructed that it can be placed at any desired depth to accommodate the guns which range in size from the relatively small 3-inch specimens to the Goliath 16- inch guns. The enormous guns are lifted into and out of the shrinkage pit by a traveling crane of 385 tons capacity. This crane has a clear lift of 97 feet above the shop floor. Running through the bottom of the pit is a pool into which is drained the water which is used in cooling the guns after being heated. Two motor-driven centrifugal pumps are employed to pump away this surplus water. The guns, great and small, are heated to expansion temperature—20 hours’ exposure from 500 to 800 de- grees F. in the various wells of the shrinkage pit. Electricity is used as the source of heat. The equipment neering ingenuity constantly on tap! consists of four complete furnaces, Each furnace is made of sectiony which resemble the wooden forms used in building a concrete silo. These circular sections range from 34 to 66 inches in height. Each furnace can be bullt up to suit any size of naval fun. The furnace, when not in use. s really a monster insulated cylinde: which iIncases the naval gun. The electrified heat is distributed through- out the furnace by means of colls at- tached to the inside walls. They are controlled so that uniform temper atures throughout the furnace can be developed. There are two heat-regis tering -devices in each section of tha furnace, so that during the treatment of any gun observers can keep tah on the temperatures in all parts of the massive electrical cover during the process. This is the largest type electric furnace ever buflt. If all the equipment were operated simultane ously, power enough to {lluminate a city of 100,000 inhabitants would be consumed. We stood by and watched with in terest as painstakingly a rifled liner was swung into place by the electric crane and then lowered into a gun body which had been heated in the furnace for one day and night. With marvelous mechanical dexterity the steel liner was lowered into its hot steel jacket. A large hydraulic jack was locked into place over the mouth of the gun to hold the liner in place during the shrinkage process. This business of removing old liners and providing new ones is a work which Involves remarkable mathematical ac- curacy. The fit {s so snug that mi- nute fractions of measurements as small as one or two one-thousandths of an inch are dealt with. The er rors of tolerance in this repair work are so minute as to appear trifling to the most of us. Unless this won derful accuracy, however, is satisfled gun liners worth anywhere from $15 000 to $25,000 may be ruined. No body of gun makers, machinists and their helpers can be found which surpasses in skill, experience, cap: bility dnd initiative this group of 12 Federal experts who sign Uncle Sam's pay rolls. Many of them have served under four to six different President: They have written ordnance history Their daily labors have aided gun making in its never-ending forward march. The clank of steel on steel, the screeching of compressed air and the metallic murmurs of mighty ma- chines are their treasured anthems of industry. . e 'HE navy yard gun shop has been a ploneer in ordnance manufac- ture and experimentation. It was in- strumental a decade or more before the Civil War in the conversion of smooth- bore guns into rifled armament, and the substitution of cylindrical pointed projectiles for the historic round shot which previously had been use Forty vears ago the Washington Nav Yard was dignified as an important source of ordnance material for the National Navy and its large fleet. From that time to this, it has been developed as a specialized ordnance plant and today is one of the most complete establishments in existence. The cherished traditions, ideas and ideals of the United States Navy re- lating to ordnance are centralized in this practical production project. The Washington ordnance factory provided the majority of the arma ment and _equipment used by the American fleet which participated in the Spanish-American War. The na- val guns, mounts, gun sights, turrets and projectiles used on our warships from the d: of Grover Cleveland's first administration to the administra- tion of Calvin Coolidge have been de- signed and developed in the Washing- ton naval shops. Ten yvears ago this establishment. expanded to where it could produce all the ordnance, in cluding both guns and mounts, needed by our Navy. Today its personnel is but a small reflection of its 1918 roster. However, a skeleton of specialists is retained as permanent employes for a nucleus of any potential emergency organization which may have to be as- sembled. The limitation of armament treaty greatly reduced and changed our naval ordnance production. This interna- tional agreement restricted the size of warships to regulative dimensions. This, logically, revolutionized ord- nance equipment. Changes in style and design of naval guns and their mounts have been consum- mated in order to provide smaller vessels with maximum fighting facili- ties. Special attention is now paid to the gross weight of the sea guns. Much special machinery, including tools, jigs, and fixtures, has been pro- duced to serve new needs. Examples of such are the heavy horing mills and planers used in the Washington gun shop for machining mounts for air- plane carrlers and light cruisers, by the ADIJT. GEN. LORENZO THOMAS.
