  • The Carbonizing Material Is a Mixture of Wood and Animal Char- Coal
    METALS, GUN FORGINGS AND ARMOR PLATE 29 The carbonizing material is a mixture of wood and animal char­ coal. The time necessary for carbonization varies as with the gas furnace, according to the thickness of the plate. It takes generally from four to ten days to bring a furnace up to heat, after which it is maintained from four to ten days at the heat of carboni­ zation. The charge is then cooled slowly and the plates removed after they have cooled down below a red heat. 70. The Krupp Process.-Many of the details of both the Harvey and Krupp processes are secret. The peculiarities and advantages of Krupp armor are secured as much by its chemical composition-especially as regards chrome, nickel and manganese --as by the method of carbonization employed. Even when cementation is accomplished in the same manner, carbon will be absorbed to a greater depth in Krupp than in Harvey armor, giving a greater depth of chill or hard face, and an increased re­ sistance to penetration of about 25 per cent. The ingot being cast in a mould, cooled and stripped, is re­ heated and forged. The plate is then charged in a furnace, which is brought to a temperature of approximately 20000 F., and coal gas is passed along the face of the place which is to be carbonized. The heat breaks up the gas and deposits carbon on the face of the plate, and this carbon is gradually absorbed until the desired degree of carbonization is obtained. From the time of charging until the operation is completed requires a little over three weeks.

  • Wounded Knee: Centennial Voices
    Copyright © 1990 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Wounded Knee: Centennial Voices JOHN D. McDERMcnr Introduction The death of at least 146 men, women, and children of the Sioux nation and 25 members of the Seventh United States Cavalry at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, on 29 December 1890 is a tragedy much remembered and mourned.' On the one hundredth anniver- sary of this controversial happening, we still look for answers to the old question. How could it have happened? While one can never hope to explain fully the actions of men spurred by false hopes, entrapped by fear, or consumed by anger, it is important to con- front the past so that some better understanding may emerge. Per- haps it is simply necessary to recognize the human's unpredictability under stress and the duality of human nature, at once compassion- ate and merciful, merciless and unforgiving. During the past several decades, the story of Wounded Knee has become a symbol of the treatment of all Indian peoples by the white majority. Dee Brown's Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, while meth- odologically flawed, created new awareness of what is essentially a sad chapter in American history: the loss of freedom and the near loss of identity by a proud people, whose skills did not fit it for life 1. It has been estimated that in addition to the 146 interred in the mass grave, another twenty or thirty dead or mortally wounded were not recovered. See Robert M. Utley, The Last Days of the Sioux Nation (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1963), p.
