A Statement Of Reasons For Believing That A Cheaper And Stronger Gun Can Be Made Of Cast Iron Than By The Combination Of Wrought Iron And Cast Iron (1881)

A Statement of Reasons for Believing That a Cheaper and Stronger Gun Can Be Made of Cast Iron Than by the Combination of Wrought Iron and Cast Iron is a book written by Theodore Thaddeus Sobieski Laidley in 1881. In this book, Laidley argues that cast iron is a superior material for making guns, as it is both cheaper and stronger than the combination of wrought iron and cast iron that was commonly used at the time. He provides detailed technical explanations and calculations to support his argument, drawing on his extensive experience as a military officer and engineer. Laidley's book is an important historical document that sheds light on the development of firearms technology in the late 19th century, and it remains a valuable resource for historians and engineers today.Adopted By The Ordnance Department In Its Recent Constructions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
