- v=onepage&q&f=false quote "Some time back we referred to the construction of the gun known as the accelerator in which a series of chambers were arranged at the side of the bore for containing charges of powder which exploded in succession as the projectile moved along it towards the muzzle until the combination of the charges exerted their full force upon the base of the shot to throw or propel it. The gun tried was of small calibre about in diameter and this succeeded beyond the expectations of the company who were present to witness the trial. The success of the small one led the gentlemen interested in its production for field or battery purposes to endeavor to have one of a large size cast. Of course many difficulties had to be overcome before they could venture to make the world acquainted with the fact that a large one was in hand but after several failures mainly due to unforeseen circumstances they have had one cast weighing and measuring in length. This gun was tried in the United States a few miles below Reading Pennsylvania on the old proving ground.".
