Colorized photo from 1910
Original title: Rifling big guns
Photographer: Bain News
Location: Watervliet, NY
The Watervliet arsenal (a part of the US Army) was founded in 1813 to support the war of 1812, it was officially designated an arsenal in 1817. It occupies 142 acres of land and is still in use today. It's currently a National Historic Landmark, designated in 1966. Today they still use it to make cannon tubes, mortars and tanks.
This giant machine is called a rifling machine. Just like hand guns, cannon barrels are rifled. Rifling creates a series of spiral grooves, it allows better accuracy making the ammunition hit is target in a more predictable manner. The ammo spins in the air when fired.
That bar on the right is called the Sine Bar, it introduces height and a curve. The machine rolls back and forth using that long gear, and then in and out and it makes that groove. Different guns have different bores, which is why that thing is adjustable.
My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
