During the first half of the 19th century substantial quantities of Oriental and Asiatic arms and armour first began to appear in Britain. On the one hand they certainly reflected the expansion of empire but their wider significance has yet to be discussed. This article seeks to address that omission by exploring the growth of interest in these objects within military circles, what they represented to the individuals who acquired them, and how they fitted into the wider collecting strategies of military officers as a group.
在19世纪上半叶,大量的东方和亚洲武器和盔甲首次出现在英国。一方面,它们确实反映了帝国的扩张,但它们更广泛的意义还有待讨论。本文试图通过探索军事圈对这些物品的兴趣增长,它们对获得它们的个人来说代表了什么,以及它们如何适应军官作为一个群体的更广泛的收集策略,来解决这一遗漏。

In 1841 Henry Wilkinson in his book Engines of War and William Greener in The Science of Gunnery describe a range of methods then in use for shaping the outside of gun barrels after the barrel forging process, ranging from manual off-hand grinding to the use of precision machines. In the same year G. & J. Rennie published the design of their state-of-the-art lathe that was capable of turning complex and dished barrel forms. This built upon the earlier work of both Henry Nock and John Jones. In the early years of the 19th century both Britain, at Enfield and other locations, and the USA, at Harpers Ferry and Springfield, began to introduce barrel-turning technology. This paper uses measurements taken from a significant number of military barrels made by several makers, and also newly exposed information about Henry Nock and the Enfield Factory of 1815, to understand better the technologies that were applied to military flintlock barrel finishing from the 1780s to the 1840s, and particularly during the major wars of 1793–1815, when high output was paramount. Measurements both of barrel form and out-of-roundness are presented. These allow the interpretation of the techniques being used by different makers at different locations, and raise questions about the purpose and achievement of the complex dished barrel forms found on British military flintlock muskets. This approach also allows us to better describe the earliest factory on the Enfield site, one of the most significant sites in the wider history of UK manufacturing.
1841年,亨利·威尔金森(Henry Wilkinson)在其著作《战争引擎》(Engines of War)和威廉·格林(William Greener。同年,G.&J.Rennie出版了他们最先进的车床的设计,该车床能够车削复杂的碟形枪管。这是建立在亨利·诺克和约翰·琼斯早期工作的基础上的。19世纪初,英国在恩菲尔德和其他地方,以及美国在哈珀斯费里和斯普林菲尔德,都开始引入枪管车削技术。本文使用了几家制造商生产的大量军用枪管的测量结果,以及最新公布的关于亨利·诺克和1815年恩菲尔德工厂的信息,以更好地了解1780年代至1840年代,特别是在1793-1815年的主要战争中,用于军用燧发枪管精加工的技术,当高产量至关重要时。给出了筒形和不圆度的测量结果。这些可以解释不同制造商在不同地点使用的技术,并对英国军用燧发枪上发现的复杂碟形枪管形式的目的和成就提出了疑问。这种方法还使我们能够更好地描述恩菲尔德工厂最早的工厂,恩菲尔德工厂是英国制造业历史上最重要的工厂之一。

An Investigation of the Weights of Pattern 1907 Bayonets made in the UK around the First World War Period 第一次世界大战前后英国1907年刺刀重量调查
IF 0.1 4区 历史学 0 MEDIEVAL & RENAISSANCE STUDIES Pub Date : 2017-07-03 DOI: 10.1080/17416124.2017.1379786

The standard issue bayonet of the British Army immediately preceding and during the First World War was the Pattern 1907. This was manufactured at different times and in varying numbers during that period by one official body, the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield, and by five private contractors. These bayonets were made according to published official specifications issued by the War Department and based on a ‘pattern example’ provided by the Royal Small Arms Factory. The specifications indicate, inter alia, the quality of metal used in making the bayonets, methods of inspection and proofing, and the required maximum and minimum weight range of the completed bayonet. However, examination of a series of these bayonets in a private collection suggested that their weights varied considerably from the mid-point values of the allowed weight ranges in the original and amended specifications (16.5 oz. and 17 oz., respectively). To establish if this was a common feature among this class of bayonet as opposed to a chance factor, the weights of other surviving Pattern 1907 bayonets were determined and compared to establish the degree of variance from the official specifications as originally set out by the Royal Small Arms Factory. Seventy-six percent of the 142 bayonets surveyed were found to be above the mid-point of the allowed weight range given in the amended manufacturing specifications, with many being at the upper end of the allowed range. This is a statistically unusual result. It is speculated that the target weight may have been deliberately set higher by the individual manufacturers to eliminate the possibility of rejection of any underweight bayonets by the Royal Small Arms Factory inspectors and so a refusal of acceptance and payment for the work.
在第一次世界大战之前和期间,英国军队的标准刺刀是1907式刺刀。这是由恩菲尔德皇家小武器厂这一官方机构和五家私人承包商在不同的时间和不同的数量制造的。这些刺刀是根据战争部发布的官方规范制造的,并以皇家小武器厂提供的“图案示例”为基础。规范特别说明了制造刺刀所用金属的质量、检查和检验方法,以及完整刺刀所需的最大和最小重量范围。然而,对私人收藏的一系列刺刀的检查表明,它们的重量与原始和修订规范中允许重量范围的中点值(分别为16.5盎司和17盎司)有很大差异。为了确定这是否是这类刺刀的共同特征,而不是偶然因素,确定并比较了其他幸存的1907式刺刀的重量,以确定与皇家小武器厂最初制定的官方规范的差异程度。在接受调查的142个刺刀中,76%的刺刀超过了修订后的制造规范中规定的允许重量范围的中点,其中许多刺刀处于允许范围的上端。这是一个统计上不寻常的结果。据推测,目标重量可能是个别制造商故意设定得更高,以消除皇家小武器厂检查员拒绝任何重量不足的刺刀的可能性,从而拒绝验收和付款。

Flintlock brass fittings from the 19th-century Akko 1 shipwreck, Israel 19世纪以色列阿科1号沉船上的燧发枪黄铜配件
IF 0.1 4区 历史学 0 MEDIEVAL & RENAISSANCE STUDIES Pub Date : 2017-07-03 DOI: 10.1080/17416124.2017.1388575

The Akko 1 shipwreck is the remains of a 26-metre-long Egyptian armed vessel or auxiliary naval brig built at the beginning of the 19th century. Remains of six flintlock muskets were retrieved from the shipwreck, and characterised by various metallurgical methods. The research aimed to study the composition and microstructure of the musket fittings and their manufacturing processes, and if possible, to determine the date and origin of the raw materials. The lead isotope analysis of the fittings suggests that their raw material originated in Great Britain. Based on their typology and composition, the fittings were made in Great Britain of brass alloy and manufactured by casting, probably at the same workshop; and the staple was manufactured by casting and drawing. Considering the zinc content, combined with the manufacturing techniques, the fittings were manufactured between the latter part of the 18th and the early 19th centuries, which might indicate that they were purchased in the course of 19th century weapons trade to be used on board the Egyptian ship.
阿科1号沉船是一艘建于19世纪初的26米长的埃及武装船只或辅助海军双桅船的残骸。从沉船中找到了六支燧发火枪的残骸,并通过各种冶金方法进行了鉴定。这项研究的目的是研究火枪配件的组成和微观结构及其制造过程,如果可能的话,确定原材料的日期和来源。对这些配件的铅同位素分析表明,它们的原料来自英国。根据它们的类型和组成,配件是在英国用黄铜合金制造的,并通过铸造制造,可能在同一车间;并采用铸造和拉拔工艺制造了短钉。考虑到锌的含量,结合制造技术,这些配件是在18世纪末到19世纪初之间制造的,这可能表明它们是在19世纪的武器贸易过程中购买的,并在埃及船上使用。

This paper examines two rare original Sword Designs, which have recently come to light, patterns said to be the two sides of the Sword of Honour awarded with the Freedom of the City of London to Admiral Seymour, Baron Alcester, Commander-in-Chief HM Ships and Vessels Mediterranean, for the Egyptian Campaign in 1882. The paper places the designs in their historical and iconographical context and assesses, by examining various evidence, if the patterns are, in fact, the original designs of the sword actually presented to Seymour at the Guildhall in 1883.

The aim of this article is to settle once and for all the question of the term ‘Brown Bess’, as applied to the British soldier’s musket. The specific origin and meaning of this obviously affectionate nickname has long confounded arms and armour scholars, re-enactors, and collectors alike. As a result, various possible solutions have been offered. The article outlines the historical usage of the name, including earlier written references not widely known in the field. The scope of the term is also addressed, using period sources to demonstrate what ‘Brown Bess’ meant to those who actually used the name historically. The many false etymologies of the name are assessed and found wanting or ‘debunked’ outright. Finally, drawing upon existing research from the field of linguistics, the article details the real meaning behind ‘Brown Bess’ the firearm and places ‘her’ in a wider sociohistorical context.
本文的目的是一劳永逸地解决“布朗贝斯”一词的问题,因为它适用于英国士兵的火枪。这个明显充满深情的昵称的具体起源和含义长期以来一直困扰着武器和盔甲学者、重演者和收藏家。因此,提出了各种可能的解决方案。本文概述了该名称的历史用法,包括在该领域不广为人知的早期书面参考资料。该术语的范围也得到了解决,使用时期的资料来证明“布朗贝斯”对历史上实际使用该名称的人意味着什么。对这个名字的许多错误词源进行了评估,发现存在不足或被彻底“揭穿”。最后,根据语言学领域的现有研究,文章详细阐述了“Brown Bess”(枪)背后的真正含义,并将“她”置于更广泛的社会历史背景中。

The specific origin and meaning of this obviously affectionate nickname has long confounded arms and armour scholars, re-enactors, and collectors alike. As a result, various possible solutions have been offered. The article outlines the historical usage of the name, including earlier written references not widely known in the field. The scope of the term is also addressed, using period sources to demonstrate what ‘Brown Bess’ meant to those who actually used the name historically. The many false etymologies of the name are assessed and found wanting or ‘debunked’ outright. Finally, drawing upon existing research from the field of linguistics, the article details the real meaning behind ‘Brown Bess’ the firearm and places ‘her’ in a wider sociohistorical context.","PeriodicalId":40914,"journal":{"name":"Arms & Armour","volume":"14 1","pages":"49 - 69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2017-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17416124.2017.1293886","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41646395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

“It would be impossible to estimate the value of these works...” Mass Production at Springfield Armory during the American Civil War “要估计这些作品的价值是不可能的……”美国内战期间春田军械库的大规模生产

The U.S. Armory in Springfield, Massachusetts, rarely appears in Civil War histories except perhaps as an unexplained statistical wonder. By late 1863, the Armory was the largest single supplier of rifles to Union forces. Springfield Armory workers out-produced over thirty American contractors, making more Army rifles at less cost while providing contractors with gauges, inspectors, and models, even though there were significant wartime private-sector mechanical innovations. This article identifies and explains the factors in the Armory’s success, provides context on contemporary American arms production and rifle models, and argues that the Armory’s methods and performance were among the first if not the first example of mass production in American small arms manufacture. The relative brevity of the Civil War episode, and the fact that it was not repeated in any comparable way at the Armory until World War II, has obscured its significance in American manufacturing history.
位于马萨诸塞州斯普林菲尔德的美国军械库很少出现在内战历史中,除非是作为一个无法解释的统计奇迹。到1863年底,军械库是联邦军队最大的步枪供应商。斯普林菲尔德军械库的工人生产了超过30家美国承包商,以更低的成本生产了更多的陆军步枪,同时为承包商提供了量具、检查员和模型,尽管战时私营部门有重大的机械创新。本文确定并解释了军械库成功的因素,提供了当代美国武器生产和步枪模型的背景,并认为军械库的方法和性能是美国小型武器制造中批量生产的第一个例子,如果不是第一个例子。内战时期的相对短暂,以及直到第二次世界大战才在军械库以任何类似的方式重演的事实,掩盖了它在美国制造业历史上的重要性。
