The idea of using capped projectiles was first conceived by Admiral Makharoff of the Russian Navy. Trials at Ochta proved the increased facility in penetration with such projectiles. Experiments are being made in France in this direction. Two French firms, that of Saint diamond and that of Unieux, are supplying projectiles capped on different systems. Saint Chamond use a light cap soldered to the ogive. Unieux secure the cap by slight projecting lugs on the ogive. In both of these systems, like that of Johnson, the aim is to merely secure the cap sufficiently so as to adhere to the point of the projectile after firing and until impact on the plate.
There are various theories advanced to account for the effect of the cap in increasing penetration. One of the French theories is that the cap first acting upon the hardened surface of the plate, slightly depresses it or cuts into the thin hardened face, so that the point of the projectile remains intact after it has passed the hardened face, permitting it to act more efficiently upon the softer non-hardened part of the plate.

The firm guarantees its ability, with its own force, to deliver 1000 tons on board in six hours, or 2000 tons in a day. At Crete, coaling from a steamer alongside, with the ship’s company, 410 tons of coal were taken on board in 10 hours, or an average of 41 tons per hour. On April 8, in the same harbor, 471 tons were taken on board in 9 hours, and on May 13, at Phaleron, 508 tons in 8 hours, averaging 64 tons an hour. This means that every man engaged had to handle over 200 cwt., transporting it about three meters in height and 50 meters of length.”

The new gun, the invention of Captain Humbert of the Naval Artillery, was tested by the Hotchkiss Company and has been placed at the disposal of the Government. There is no recoil on firing. The powder gases are made to discharge towards the rear. This prevents the visibility by the enemy of the flames of discharge, which at present reveal the position of a battery of artillery using smokeless powder. The report is also deadened so as to be inaudible beyond 1200 meters.
