“THE ME. 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

projectile agrees most remarkably
with the results obtained by analy-
cers, by calculations, had made many
from a purely theoretical and techni-
cal standpoint.
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.
