49 PUEiFACE * This document is one of a series prepared under instructions from the Supreme Cormmander for the Allied Powers to the Japanese Governrien-t (SCAPIN No. 126, 12 Oct 19'45). The series covers not only the operations of the Japanese armed forces during World War- II but also their operations in China and M4anchuria which preceded the world conflict. The original studies were written by former officers of the Japanese Army and Navy under the supervision of the Historical Rrecords Section of the First (Army) and Second (Navy) Demobilization Bureaus of the Japanese Govern aent. The manuscripts were translated by the ilitary Intelligence Service Group, G2, Headcuarters, Far East Commiiand. 1 tensive editing has ,been ac- colmplished by the Foreign Iistories Division of the Office of the Military History Officer, Headquarters, United States Aynj Japan. Monograph No. 68 is a report made 'by Lt Col. Tadataka Nu na- guchi of Army Technical: Ieadquarters and aij. Katsuji Akiyana of the Army Heavy Artillery..

The Development and Design of Bronze Ordnance, Sixteenth
The Development and Design of Bronze Ordnance, Sixteenth through Nineteenth Centuries by Chuck Meide The College of William & Mary November 2002 The Development and Design of Bronze Ordnance, Sixteenth through Nineteenth Centuries Introduction 1 Evolution, 16th-19th Centuries 1 Typology 1 Bronze vs. Iron 8 Decline of Bronze Ordnance 10 Morphology 13 Nomenclature 13 Decoration 25 Composition 30 Conclusion 31 References 33 Introduction “Ordnance is the most accurate and acceptable generic term which embraces all those weapons of war which use an explosive charge to propel a missile in the direction of the enemy, and which are larger than those which can be used as personal arms” (Hughes 1969: 1). The technical development and unreserved application of cannon (a term which in its modern sense encompasses all of the types mentioned below) played a key role in European expansion and colonial hegemony (cf. Cipolla 1965). Ordnance remains, therefore, are of great interest to archaeologists studying this process, or that of technological change in general. In addition, ordnance—and especially bronze as opposed to iron pieces—usually proves the most diagnostic artifacts found on a shipwreck or military site. This study is an overview of the history of the development, design, and manufacture of bronze muzzle-loading ordnance, which were widely used by the world’s military forces from the 16th to mid-19th centuries. Discussion is limited for the most part to guns (what are usually termed cannon), but also to mortars, howitzers, and to a lesser degree types such as the carronade and swivel gun. Evolution, 16th-19th Centuries Typology Cannon of the 16th century inherited a medieval system of naming and classification. -
