24-POUNDER GUN ON BARBETTE CARRIAGE
150-POUNDER ARMSTRONG MUZZLE-LOADING RIFLE
An Armstrong gun of this type was “built up” of a series of concentric wrought-iron tubes made from spiral coils welded together under a steam hammer. The tubes, or hoops, were then shrunk over one another so that the inner tube, or barrel, was in a state of compression and better able to resist the force of explosion. Each tube was turned on a lathe to a slightly smaller diameter than the one it was to fit over. Then it was expanded by heating and dropped into place.
