In fact, today’s collectors primarily seek out the most beautiful old jukeboxes that depict the charm and romance of the 1930s and ‘40s. While jukeboxes have been continuously made since the 1920s, it is the 10-year period, from 1938 until 1948, that attracts collectors. Collectors pay top dollar for jukeboxes made during these years, especially boxes manufactured by the Wurlitzer Company. There were 13 Wurlitzer jukeboxes manufactured during this era, all with 24-record capacity. Paul Fuller, a Swiss master designer, designed 11 of these Wurlitzer jukeboxes, beginning with the 1938 model. Fuller’s Wurlitzer model 950 is one of the rarest Wurlitzers since it was the 1942 model and most raw materials were earmarked for war usage. Wurlitzer manufactured only 3,497 model 950s, of which fewer than 200 are known to still exist. The 950s are also prized for their beautiful decorations — illustrations of the Greek god Pan playing his pipe. The model 950 truly embodies all of the romance of a Wurlitzer jukebox. The See LeMasters, page 10 Left: Wurlitzer Victory model 850, of World War II. It is manufactured from chassis and mechanisms assembled from leftover parts. Right: Wurlitzer model 1080. This model was considered “garish” by most people and only a few of these were ever sold.

  • John Dahlgren the Plymouth Rifle
    JOHN DAHLGREN And THE PLYMOUTH RIFLE Marc Gorelick, VGCA The author thanks Tim Prince of College Hill Arsenal (www.collegehillarsenal.com) and Cliff Sophia of CS Arms (www.csarms.com) for the use of their photographs. Few Americans today know who John Dahlgren was, or the role he played in the Civil War. Most Civil War and navy history buffs who recognize his name identify him as a Union Admiral and ordnance expert who developed a number of naval cannon. Indeed, for his achievements in developing naval cannon he became known as the “father of American naval ordnance.” But to the gun collecting community Dahlgren was also a small arms expert and the inventor of the unique Plymouth Rifle. Photo courtesy Tim Prince, College Hill Arsenal, www.collegehillarsenal.com DAHLGREN’S NAVY CAREER John Adolphus Bernard Dahlgren was born on November 13, 1809 in Philadelphia, the son of Bernhard Ulrik Dahlgren, the Swedish Consul in Philadelphia. Like another Swedish-American, John Ericsson, the inventor of the screw propeller, turret and ironclad monitor, Dahlgren was to have a profound effect on the U.S. Navy. Dahlgren joined the United States Navy in 1826 as a midshipman. He served in the U.S. Coastal Survey from 1834 to 1837 where he developed his talents for mathematics and scientific theory. He was promoted to lieutenant, and after a number of cruises was assigned as an ordnance officer at the Washington Navy Yard in 1847. Dahlgren was in his element as an ordnance officer. He excelled as a brilliant engineer and was soon given more and more responsibility.

  • Deadlands Armory
    Rifles Part I. Muzzles, Muskets & Minié Balls Loading a Flintlock Rifle For the first part of the nineteenth century, professional armies fought with the same smooth- bore flintlock muskets as their fathers and grandfathers. It generally takes an experienced soldier between twenty and thirty seconds to properly load a flintlock musket. First, the user has to unseal his pre-measured cartridge of gunpowder, which is usually contained in a paper or linen packet which is bitten open. (Because of the salty nature of gunpowder, this builds up a terrible thirst over the course of a battle, making potable water an essential part of any armed conflict.) Once the gunpowder is poured into the muzzle, the shooter inserts the lead ball, which is encased in a lubricated bit of cloth called “wadding.” Pulling the ramrod from its forestock slot, the shooter tamps the ball home, ensuring firm contact with the propellant charge. The ramrod is then returned to the forestock—unless a panicked soldier leaves it inside the barrel, to be fired along with the bullet! To fire the musket, the hammer is pulled to half-cock. A small pinch of gunpowder is placed in the “priming pan” located on the right side of the musket. The pan is closed to secure the primer, which brings a metal flange called the “frizzen” into striking position in front of the hammer. The hammer is fully cocked, the musket is aimed, and the trigger is pulled. The hammer dashes the flint against the frizzen, simultaneously creating a spark and pushing open the pan to expose the primer.

  • The Unsung Trapdoor Rifle
    http://rockislandauction.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-unsung-trapdoor-rifle.html The Unsung Trapdoor Rifle Written by Joel Kolander at Rock Island Auction Company, Friday, October 25, 2013 - http://www.rockislandauction.com/ Reprinted on the VGCA website with permission of Joel Kolander and Rock Island Auction Company. All photographs are courtesy of Rock Island Auction Company. In terms of American military long arms very little attention is given to a predecessor of the much heralded M1903 and M1 Garand, the Springfield Trapdoor. The Springfield Trapdoor was produced for over 20 years and would experience many changes throughout its life. The rifle would take its place in history just after the Civil War, despite the justifiable hesitation of many military personnel who were all too aware about the superiority of repeaters and magazine fed rifles. It would kill buffalo by the thousands as America expanded westward and would also play a role in the wars against the Native Americans. Militarily it represents the watershed transition for U.S. forces from the musket to the rifle. Today we find out a little bit more of this rifle, its origins, the question of its performance, and its role in history. Lot 3507: Rare Early Springfield Armory Model 1873 Trapdoor Rifle with Rare Metcalfe Device Origins After the Civil War, the War Department wanted a breech-loading rifle. To be specific, they wanted a breech-loading rifle that would chamber a self-primed, metallic cartridge. This led to the formation of an Army Board who, in 1865, would host trials of different rifles by makers both foreign and domestic.

This is a living history festival organised by re-enactors for re-enactors and is similar on a smaller scale to the multi period event at Spetchley. There was excellent weather on the Saturday and even though cloudy on the Sunday the rain held off until 4.00pm when people were leaving so this ensured a pleasant weekend for everyone and ensured a good public turnout. There was a large Dark Age presence with many Vikings and Saxons present as well as a large Medieval contingent. Both the Confederate and Union Armies had commendable turnouts of approximate equal size but this was complimented by 4 artillery pieces which really added to the display and filled the arena as they were all manned. The ACWS were the headline act and were the last battle of the day in the arena. The battle on the Saturday was an excellent skirmish with the Confederates, supported by a lone artillery piece, attacking a larger Union force protecting 2 fast firing artillery pieces.

  • The American Civil War and Military Technological Change
    THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR AND MILITARY TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE DOCTORAL THESIS University of Tasmania Department of Political Science cloie` cvotae? Marc Bowles February 1991 iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis was born from an interest in the area but was brought to fruition under the encouragement of many individuals. I am especially indebted to Professor Harry G Gelber who provide invaluable supervision, and suggestions, while all the time nurturing a flagging student. To Janette Kahl, Andrew Sharman, Calvin Sharman (no relation), Peter O'Toole, the staff of the Central Defence Department (Canberra) Library, and the University of Tasmania Morris Miller Library, go my thanks for your patience and assistance. Obviously, despite all the support received, responsibility for the selection of the materials and the treatment of the topic is entirely my own. For the record as well, this thesis contains no material which has been submitted for the award of any degree or diploma in any university or college and to the best of my knowledge and belief the thesis contains no copy or paraphrase of material previously written or published by another person unless I have made acknowledgement in the text of this work. Marcus Bowles ABSTRACT Military technology change is a subject of enormous diversity and profound complexity. To reduce the topic to some ordered form the thesis discusses military technological changes in one period; the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865. The thesis also contends that military technology cannot be studied in purely physical terms. Only in conjunction with environmental elements can we fully comprehend technical change. This will enable us to make sense of technology as both a technical entity constructed from existing scientific knowledge, and as a human activity interacting with the surrounding environment.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.

These are weapons in which spiral grooves have been cut into the length of the interior or bore of the barrel (Fig. 1). Fig. 1. The above figure is the traditional rifling of a 9 mm handgun barrel. (en.wikipedia.org) Rifling consist of ‘lands’ and ‘grooves’ (Fig. 2). Fig. 2. This figure depicts lands and grooves of a rifled barrel. (bevfitchett.us) The ‘lands’ grip the bullet as it passes down the barrel, giving the bullet a rotation, which has a gyroscopic effect that increases the stability of the bullet’s trajectory and thus its accuracy (Fig. 3). Fig. 3. This image denotes the spiraling effect induced by rifling and its contribution toward accuracy. This is analogous to a quarterback throwing a football with a tight spiral, which gives the football far greater accuracy. (hunter-ed.com) In contradistinction to rifled weapons, shotguns are smooth bored. This is because rifling in a shotgun barrel would cause the shot to disperse to quickly in a 360 degree arc. GENERAL INFORMATION Handguns and rifles are breech-loading firearms in which the cartridge is inserted or loaded into a chamber, which is integral to the rear portion of the barrel. The breech or chamber has a slightly greater diameter than the rest of the barrel. The missile fits snugly into the breech-chamber, but is too large to pass through the barrel without being squeezed.
