Naval Institute, Annapolis, MD. January 5, 1887 I have always had great faith in the methods of securing density, homogeneousness, strength, and elasticity, practised by Whitworth and his followers. It is now Something like fifteen years since I made a report, by request of the Admiral, to the Navy Department, after a summer abroad, and a visit to the Whitworth establishment, urging that the Department take immediate steps to secure the necessary means of introducing this process, at least experimentally, into our own country, for the main purpose of obtaining ordnance that might be relied upon to do good work with equal certainty on all occasions and at all ages of gun, and the subject has been often revived since then. The supineness of the British, as well as other governments, including our own, in this matter, has always appeared to me marvellous. The work of Whitworth, for nearly a generation, has proved the value of his methods so absolutely the introduction of his steels into constructions in civil and mechanical engineering has gone on so steadily and satisfactorily, and the grand facts asserted by him have been SO many times, so constantly, proven, that it seems hardly less than a miracle of unbelief that could have prevented our own and other governments availing themselves of it for their own purposes, to which the process so perfectly and Specially adapts itself. It is barely possible that other means may be found of securing equally well the qualities which to-day make the Whitworth process and its product peculiar in their excellence and effectiveness; but, while we are waiting for them, the world moves, and we are relatively going astern. I think that there are several inventors in this country who are working in that line of improvement, and it would seem easy for our Government to secure all the aid that it may desire in develop ing its own system of manufacture of heavy ordnance on well-under stood and thoroughly proven lines.

M. Sight of Friday morning, February 2, confirmed the expected set to the westward, but indicated a very much greater drift. The course was held until ten o'clock, when it was decided to abandon the plan of going south of Roncador reef and take the channel north of it instead the course was accordingly changed to bring the northern extremity of the reef a little on the port bow. The noon position corroborated the indications of the morning sight, showing that the ship had not only had a strong set to the northwest, but had drifted about thirty-three miles in sixteen hours, or at the rate of more than two knots per hour the expected lati tude at noon was to be I 3° 30' N the observation showed 13° 48' the latitude expected at noon would place the ship nearly abreast the southern end of the reef; the true latitude showed her to be fourteen miles north of its northern point, which then bore about wsw., distant forty-two miles. The wind dropped during the afternoon, reducing the speed to six knots fires were spread under the two boilers at 3. 30 and the engines started ahead about 4. 15, bringing the speed up to eight knots. By the four o'clock position, the north end of the reef was a little on the port bow and fourteen miles distant. A bright look out had been kept both from the deck and the topgallant yard all the afternoon, for it was known to be low and only visible at a distance of from four to seven miles.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute, 1887, Vol. 13 There are, undoubtedly, some evidences of the practicability of making successful application of harder steels. Mr. Wm. Metcalf has found that the best steel for steam-hammer piston rods - where the blows are severe and the jar and vibration perhaps greater than in any other case familiar to the civilian engineer - is steel made in the crucible and containing about per cent. Carbon. It is possible that this metal can be used in ordnance; but it would be wise to settle that question on the small scale first, by using it in steel howitzers, and to defer the making of a large gun until the smaller Sizes had been proved safe. The process of oil-tempering is one which has given remarkable results on a small mass of even high tool-steel but it still remains to be shown that great masses are to be safely treated for ordnance purposes in this way. I think it very possible that it may prove that they may but it is certain that the doubt remains, as yet, too serious to permit the expenditure of large sums on the assumption that we may absolutely rely upon such methods of securing strength, elasticity, homogeneousness, and permanence of good quality. I should certainly not urge the suspension of all efforts in that direction; but I should, by all means, advise caution, in construction, in going ahead of our experimental knowledge.
