Modern Review March 1910

1910

[...] The reek of the oil is awful the smoke is blinding and the sizzling hiss of the boiing liquid reminds you dismally of the late Spanish Inquisition and other unpleasannesses. [...] As swiftly as the gunlayer's eye can follow the mark aimed at through the telscope so swiftly does the gigantic fabric turn in chase and the moment the layer's eye rests on the object the slightest pressure of a finger sends the shot speeding truly home. [...] The officer in charge of the gun calculates the speed of the flying enemy and the speed of his own ship an electrical instrument works out the sum and there you are. [...] As soon as the gun.is cid the grooves of the gun take in the heated copper which fills them whilst the actual bore burrows into the copper and as the rifling of the weapon is spiral it necessarily follows that the motion of the discharging shell is spiral too.
