Vit.li.k, prominent as an inventor of smokeless powder, by means of a del icate process of registration finds that the pressures at the moment of burning the powder do not shed themselves uni formly over the gun throughout its length, but that a wave of pressure starts at the seat of the powder and transmits itself. The apparently almost inevitable failure of some one of the thirty, or therealsiuts. machines employed in working a fully-equippod gre.it gun has caused a reaction in England in favor of smaller guns and of doing away with as much machinery as possible.
