17. Closing Remarks 17. Closing Remark 423 17. Closing Remarks This book is an attempt to concisely summarize the development of firearms up to the end of the 19th century. Although an abundance of data from specialized literature, collections from private owners and museums was collected, evaluated and recorded in words, drawings and sketches, this document covers only a small part of this extensive subject. The history of the development of iron mining, refining, forging, welding and casting was touched on only superficially, even though these techniques were a deciding factor in the development of firearms, as well as other objects of utility. The same is true of bronze and brass casting. Many interesting questions in reference to the manufacturing of firearms remain to be answered, such as: • What did the first files look like and how were they made? • How long could they be used until they were dull? • When and where, were the first drills used? • When and how were the first threads made? • When were the first metal saws used? • How was the hard or soft soldering done to bond metal parts? • How were the high quality chisels, gravers and embossing tools made, so that engravings and reliefs of masterful beauty could be created? The history of the development of metal surface treatments such as bluing, gold plating and the hardening would also be of major interest. As well, task which today are taken for granted like drying wood free of cracks, its handling, the sanding, staining and finishing had first to be developed. Today, we have no concept how the effort, the sorrow, the fears, the suffering and the oppression relating to the development and availability of firearms and their actions, influenced and affected previous generations. We can only respectfully remember those individuals involved and attempt to do our part, so that the world will hold a better future. 424 17.

  • The Norwich Gun Industry
    salzer_40_47 2/14/05 3:17 PM Page 40 The Norwich Gun Industry Dick Salzer New England and, especially, Connecticut have been and remain the center of the American gun industry ever since the days of the American Revolution. Gun makers orig- inally were attracted to Connecticut because of that state’s many assets—year-round water power, a skilled industrial labor base, good ports and rail lines, and proximity to the major population centers of New York and Boston—all of these contributed to that centralization. These factors were especially prevalent at Norwich. The City of Norwich was founded in 1659. By the time of the American Revolution, it had grown to become one of the 10 largest cities in the Colonies.1 It was richly endowed with all of those assets desirable in a manufacturing site, not the least of which was the confluence of the Shetucket and Yantic Rivers, which merged at Norwich to form the navi- gable Thames River. As a large city by the standards of the breadth of the Norwich arms industry during its golden day, it offered sources of capital, a diverse population of years. skilled workers, support industries, and easy access to the This presentation will focus largely on the period New York and Boston markets through its sheltered port starting in the 1840’s when conditions were exactly right and rail lines. for the incubation of the arms industry.

The idea of having anything which might be tainted with pig or beef fat in their mouths was totally unacceptable to the sepoys, and when they objected it was suggested that they were more than welcome to make up their own batches of cartridges, using a religiously acceptable greasing agent such as ghee or vegetable oil. A further suggestion that the Sepoys tear the cartridges open with their hands instead of biting them open was rejected as impractical — many of the Sepoys had been undertaking musket drill daily for years, and the practice of biting the cartridge open was second nature to them.
