    Christopher Miner Spencer Collection Finding Aid Windsor Historical Society 96 Palisado Avenue, Windsor, CT 06095 Creator: Christopher Miner Spencer, Vesta Spencer Taylor, and others Dates: 1834, 1854 --1918, 1953 Extent: 1 linear foot (2 DC) Accession #: 1922.4, 1953.12, 1991.1 Biographical Note Christopher Miner Spencer was born in Manchester, CT on June 20, 1833. He was recognized as an inventive genius, conceiving and patenting more efficient metal products and machinery in the formative early years of American manufacturing. He acquired a total of 42 patents in his lifetime, as well as building a steam-powered buggy in 1862 and taking up aviation only a few years before his death. He lived in Windsor, CT for many years with his wife Georgette Taylor Spencer, sons Percival H., Roger M., and daughter Vesta (Mrs. Charles Taylor). He died January 14, 1922 in Windsor, CT. At age 14, he apprenticed at the Cheney Brothers’ silk manufacturing company in Manchester, CT and gained skill as a machinist. He worked in a variety of machinery shops as a young man, and began to develop experimental and innovative machinery in his spare time. He received his first patent for an automatic silk-winding machine, and in 1860 another for his concept of a breech-loading repeating firearm. The Spencer Repeating Rifle Company was incorporated in 1862 in order to produce the firearm for the Union Army’s use during the Civil War. The rifle and its cartridges were superior to the traditional muzzle-loading firearms. Spencer had a succession of inventions that he patented and joined with others to manufacture.

Shannon's work, published in the 1920's, remains the standard reference to the activities of the Ordnance Department and the Bureau in Washington, D. c., which commanded it. His views that incompetence, lethargy, and mismanagement on the part of the Ordnance Bureau were responsible for the problems in acquiring and improving arms for the Union army, have remained the standard interpretation of Federal munition problems. These criticisms have been applied to small anns, consisting of rifles, muskets, pistols, and edged weapons.

The Spencer was the world's first military metallic cartridge repeating rifle, and overexamples were manufactured in the United States by the Spencer Repeating Rifle Co. The Spencer repeating rifle was adopted by the Union Armyespecially by the cavalryduring the American Civil War but did not replace the standard issue muzzle-loading rifled muskets in use at the time.

  • 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.
