Thats a great shot.

You can say THAT again! The cool thing about this HAMB thread (and member Dave/T-Head who has "THE OLD MOTOR" website) is that these AWESOME sights and technologies would be totally unknown to 99 percent of even the folk interested in VINTAGE practical engineering, were it not for Dog's thread. (There'll be those who disagree with me; but I say that Dog's thread tends to put all this in common terms -- and permits helpful conversation -- such that even a dumbass like ME can understand and get excited about it!)

KEEP IT UP, in addition to the VINTAGE shots of rods & customs, which are the anchor of this thread! [/QUOTE]

 

My understanding is that they would build a circular rail bed and move it around the circle to aim it in a different direction.

 

Thanks, John! I didn't know the specifics to that extent.

 

You are absolutely right there 327-365, why the hell would they want to change so they're driving on the wrong side of the road????
(Hey, it's been a quiet day, and I just decided we all needed a little excitement in our lives).

The M65 Atomic Cannon, often called Atomic Annie,<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"></sup> was a towed artillery piece built by the United States and capable of firing a nuclear device. It was developed in the early 1950s, at the beginning of the Cold War, and fielded by 1953 in Europe and Korea. There is one still at Fort Sill Ok.
