adapted to meet the requirements of rifled artillery and of the attack
of iron plating. They are usually composed of an inner core or barrel
(which may be of coiled and welded iron, but is now generally preferred
of tough steel), with a breech-piece, trunnion-piece, and various outer
strengthening hoops or coils of wrought iron, shrunk or otherwise forced
on; having their parts put together at such predetermined relative
tensions, as to support one another under the shock of explosion, and
thereby avoiding the faults of solid cast or forged guns, whereof the
inner parts are liable to be destroyed before the outer can take their
share of the strain. The first practical example of the method was
afforded by the Armstrong gun, the "building up" which obtained in
ancient days, before the casting of solid guns, having been apparently
resorted to as an easy means of producing large masses of
