SOCETY ~ FOR T | Professor Yrs Lectured to the Society on the German Super- gun That Shelled Paris. On Tuesday evening at 7:30, the members of the Mechanical Engi- ’ | neering Society held their last meet- {ing for the present session, closing | what was probably the most satis- * | factory year’s work in the history of the Department. As had been announced Daily Bulletin, Professor Fermier’s lecture on the German super-gun was the set portion of the meeting. Professor Fermier said he had no “inside” or secret information regard- ing this gun, and was basing his lec- ture on material prepared by an offi- cer of the U. S. Army, which material had been released by the War Depart- ment. : By drawings, and lantern’ projected views, the details of construction and operation were shown, not alone of the gun itself, but of the elevating mechanism, the ammunition hand- ling, the projectile and so ‘forth. He explained that there were three em- placements located by the French very soon after the bombardment be- gan. One of these was near enough the front, to be attacked by the French long range gun, by which it was destroyed. The other two were damaged by bombs from airplanes, but not put out of commission. Seven guns were actually construc- ted, and at the time of the Armistice three others were under construction in the Skoda Works at Pilsen, Aus- tria. The gun was designed so it might be twice rebored, and at least one of them had been rebored as the life of the gun was limited to but a few days. The guns were reconstruct- ed from worn out naval guns of 38 c. m. diameter, being relined to a diameter of 21 c¢. m., or a trifle over The length of the barrel was 36 meters in- cluding a smooth bore muzzle section 6 meters long. An unusual feature of the projectile was the steel grooves it carried to fit the rifling of the gun because the shearing stress was too severe to be borne by the. copper bands generally used. Professor Fermier pointed out the fact that in weight and diameter the DIXIE Monday-—Two Features “THE TATLERS” and Big Comedy.

Within a few hours after the bom- bardment, and after a few small frag- ments were secured, the French offi- cers, by caluculations, had made many deductions, which were later found to be in accordance with the facts. Among these were the weight and di- ameter of the projectile, the weight of powder charge, the range, and the muzzle velocity. The projectiles fired all fitted the 21 centimeter tube, apparently none having been fired from the re- bored gun. The weight of the pro- jectile was about 120 kilograms, or 264 pounds, its length over all was 105 centimenters, or five calibers. In addition the speaker pointed out many interesting facts about time of firing the guns, the periods of activ- ity, the hits, and so forth of the 303 shells falling, none failed to explode; 183 fell within the city walls, 120 fell outside, causing a total of 256 deaths and 260 injuries. One shot, by a most peculiar set of circum- stances, caused 88 deaths. This was the only one causing any serious damage. In addition to this description of | the super-gun Professor Fermier showed the society two shell noses or fuses used by the Allies during the War. One of these was a sectioned contact fuse of very interesting and complicated construction, and the other was a time fuse. These had been given to Professor Fermier by a former student who helped to sup- ervise the making of them in gan: tities. Following the lecture the Society discussed matters of business, and then proceeded to the election of of- ficers for next session. The election resulted in the following: President, I. H. Bettis. Vice-President, C. H. Edwards. Secretary-Treasurer, E. Brink- mann. The Society then adjourned to meet next session on call of the pres- ident.
