MAKING BIG GUNS FOR THE
SHIPS OF UNCLE SAM’S NAVY
The navy’s only gun factory nickel or chromium. If the lab-
is at Washington, D. C., and
there the manufacture of steel
for steel guns, gun mounts and
accessories may be followed
through its many interesting
and wonderful processes.
The history of steel starts
when the iron ore is taken from
oratory’s report is favorable the
metal is . “tapped” into a ladle
from which it is poured, at a
temperature ranging from 2700
to 2900 degrees fahrenheit, into
molds of the shape desired.
The tapping process is the
event of the day in the foundry.
The endeavors of each individual

and air accomplish the removal
of impurities and the reduction
of the ore to metallic iron. The
other products are slag, from
which cement and roofing ma-
terial are made and gases which
are collected and used again as
fuel for various auxiliary equip-
ment.
In some of the large steel mills
the iron is carried in cars from
the blast furnace to the steel
making furnace and poured into
the furnace while still in the mol-
ten state, thus saving the heat tion.
At the critical time, everyone
being on hand, a traveling crane
brings a ladle under the spout of
the furnace and a battering ram
is put to work knocking the plug
of clay out of the spout. Unable
to resist the sturdy blows of the
ram, the plug is forced out of
the way, then through the open-
ing, down the spout, and into the
ladle rushes the white-hot mol-
ten metal, lighting up the whole
foundry and sending a beautiful
shower of sparks in every direc-
that would be required to remelt
it. This method is used only in
large scale production where the
The metal when “tapped”
from the furnace may be poured

blast furnaces are near the steel ing molds. Ingot is the term ap
making furnaces. Other plants,
including the naval gun factory,
procure their iron in the form of
small pieces called pigs and
“charge” them into the furnace
cold together with a certain per-
centage of scrap steel.
The steel foundry is just like a
bio kitchen, where the steei
melter is the cook. The labora-
tory having analyzed all raw ma-
terials, send a menu to the
“cook,” who is thus enabled to
select and weigh out the proper
amounts of pig iron and scrap
steel. In the furnace it is sub-
jected to a temperature exceed-
ing 3000 degrees fahrenheit,
which melts the steel, boils out
the impurities and refines it.
When the cook thinks his steel
stew is done he takes a little out
in a long-handled spoon, cools it,
and sends it to the laboratory.
By a quick analysis the labora-
tory is soon able to advise as to
whether the “stew” is ready to
come out or whether it needs to
be seasoned with some carbon or

plied to a mass of metal of a size
and shape that will produce the
best metal and at the same time
be convenient for converting into
smaller shapes by forging. The
castings are made by pouring the
molten metal into molds which
conform in shape to that desired
in the final product. As a rule,
castings are machined on one or
more surfaces, but in some cases,
where a close fit is not required,
they are used a^ cast without
subsequent machining.
The forging of steel is similar
to the kneading of bread dough
and the effect of kneading or
working, as it is called, is as ben-
eficial to steel as it is to bread.
All steel may be worked in some
range of temperature, some
steels even withstanding cold
working without cracking. In
the forging' of steel for gun
parts, the working range is usu-
ally from 2200 degrees fahren-
heit down to 1400 degrees.
A 12-ton ingot after solidifica-
tion in the foundry is delivered
to the forge shop, where it is
placed in a furnace and heated
to about 2200 degrees. After
becoming uniformly hot it is
withdrawn, punched out and cut
up into all kinds of shapes and
sizes.
After a piece of steel passes
through the forge shop it has
little chance of being recognized.
It is like a barrel that has new
staves and new hoops but the
same old bunghole. The shape
of the steel has been altered and
its properties have been changed
decidedly, but the old ultimate
composition remains about the
same. The steel goes into the
forge shop as ingots and comes
out either as finished gun parts
or as parts to be machined or as
slabs which go to the rolling mill
tG be rolled into plates and bars.
After the forging operation
comes the machining of steel,
which might be summed up as a
race between the tool makers,
who try to make tools that will
cut the toughest steel and the
steel makers, whose aim is
tougher steel. In this contest
the tool makers gained precep-
tibiy when high speed tool steel
was developed. This is a special
alloy steel which generally con-
tains a large amount of tungsten
and chromium and is capable of
cutting steel at a high speed.
Indeed these tools maintain their
cutting edge at a dull red heat,
all of which means that costs are
greatly reduced and at the same
time output is increased.
We have now come to the as-
sembling operations, which is
the last step in the manufacture
of guns, but it is by no means
the least, for here the masses of
metal which have cost so much
of time and energy take shape
and finally emerge a finished
gun.
It is said that at the begin-
ning of the war there were only
two 16-inch guns in America but
now several battleships are

equipped with batteries of 16-
inch guns: The army is also
mounting them for coast defense
and it is safe to say that if the
war had continued a little longer
18-inch and larger guns would
have been a reality. In fact,
they probably would have been
anyway if the arms conference
had not limited navies to 16-inch
guns. So as time moves on, the
destructive forces are steadily
pushing toward irresistible force
by means of guns and projec-
tiles while the constructive
forces are building toward im-
movable objects in the form of
armor jplate and fortifications.

Wed and Part in a Day.
Society circles of Baltimore
are stirred over the matrimonial
escapade of Mrs. James Carroll
Jenkins, an attractive divorcee,
and Leigh Bonsai, Jr., scion of a
prominent Maryland family. The
two while members of a motor
car party, became engaged in the
morning, were married in the
afternoon and separated at mid-
night and, according to the bride,
a pet puppy precipitated the
climax.
The moral of this hurried sep-
aration is that the dog question
must not be permitted to enter
into matrimonial affairs. Quite
likely the bride insisted that the
puppy be given a bed in her
room.
