About: Rodman gun

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Rodman gun is any of a series of American Civil War–era columbiads designed by Union artilleryman Thomas Jackson Rodman (1815–1871). The guns were designed to fire both shot and shell. These heavy guns were intended to be mounted in seacoast fortifications. They were built in 8-inch, 10-inch, 13-inch, 15-inch, and 20-inch bore. Other than size, the guns were all nearly identical in design, with a curving bottle shape, large flat cascabels with ratchets or sockets for the elevating mechanism. Rodman guns were true guns that did not have a howitzer-like powder chamber, as did many earlier columbiads. Rodman guns differed from all previous artillery because they were hollow cast, a new technology that Rodman developed that resulted in cast-iron guns that were much stronger than their pred

  • Le canon Rodman est un type de columbiads de la guerre de Sécession, conçu par l'artilleur de l'Union (1815–1871). Ces pièces d'artillerie lourde étaient conçues pour tirer aussi bien des boulets que des obus ; elles étaient destinées aux batteries côtières. Elles ont été coulées en calibres de 8 pouces, 10 pouces, 13 pouces, 15 pouces et un de 20 pouces. Hormis la taille, les canons étaient de conception identique, de forme tronconique, dotés d'une grande cascabelle aplatie avec une roue dentée pour rectifier la hausse. Contrairement aux autres columbiads, les canons Rodman étaient dépourvus de magasin à poudre de type obusier ; mais leur principale différence avec les pièces d'artillerie antérieures tenait au fait que leur canon était alésé dans la masse : le développement de cette technique permit à Rodman d’obtenir des canons en fonte beaucoup plus résistants que leurs prédécesseurs.

  • Het Rodmankanon was een groot kaliber kanon uit de periode van de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog ontwikkeld door Thomas Jackson Rodman. De kanonnen waren ontwikkeld als bewapening voor kustforten om vijandelijke schepen de toegang tot havens en andere strategische objecten te ontzeggen. De Rodmankanonnen waren uiterlijk identiek met uitzondering van het kaliber. (nl)
  • O Canhão Rodman, ou "arma Rodman" ("Rodman gun"), faz parte de uma série de columbíades da época da Guerra Civil Americana projetada pelo artilheiro da União (1815-1871). Esses canhões pesados ​​deveriam ser montados em fortificações costeiras. As armas Rodman foram construídos com canos de 8, 10, 13, 15 e 20 polegadas de diâmetro. Exceto pelo tamanho, as armas eram quase idênticas em design, com uma forma de garrafa curva, grandes "cascavéis" planas com catracas ou soquetes para o mecanismo de elevação. As armas Rodman eram verdadeiras armas que não tinham uma câmara de pólvora semelhante a um obus, como muitas columbíades anteriores. As armas Rodman diferiam de toda a artilharia anterior porque eram feitas por fundição vazada, uma nova tecnologia desenvolvida por Rodman que resultou em armas de ferro fundido muito mais fortes do que suas antecessoras.
