Title: The Art of Designing and Constructing Mobile Artillery
Abstract: The term Mobile Artillery is used designedly in the title of this paper to include all those classes of artillery material which are commonly designated as field, siege, horse, and mountain artillery. There is a certain looseness, or at least lack of definiteness, in the meaning of the terms “field” and “siege” artillery as generally used in the United States as well as abroad, while the term “horse artillery” more frequently carries with it an idea of method of transport of personnel rather than that of a distinct type of material. The term “mobile artillery” while very comprehensive in its scope, possesses the merit of definiteness and includes all the classes above mentioned. To traverse such a broad subject in a satisfactory manner within the limits of a brief paper is impossible. The purpose of the following pages should, therefore, be understood to be a general view of the field of progress with an exposition of a few of the fundamental principles governing the design of the latest types of mobile artillery in use in the United States.
