Civil War Rifling Machine (1853)
Cost: Free
Description:
Two of the most important innovations in the manufacture of weapons during
the Civil War were the addition of rifling to the inside of handgun and
rifle barrels and the ability to mass-produce those barrels for the Union
Army. This app provides an educational and detailed real-time 3D look at
one of the machines that made both of those things possible, an 1853 Robbins
& Lawrence rifling machine. Machines such as this helped produce more than
1.5 million rifled barrels by the end of the War.
Features:
Although the rifling machine is of historically interesting, the focus of
the app is on the key mechanical elements that allow the machine to quickly
and accurately cut the rifling on the inside of each barrel. The machine
itself is animated to illustrate interaction of all of the elements during
operation, while the interface allows the user to pan and zoom interactively
to explore the machine from almost any angle or position. A menu allows the
user to select from a list of the key mechanical elements while pop-ups
explain their specific functions. Pre-defined index points also allow the
user to scroll through each of the defined elements one at time.

I'm surprised this video clip isn't shown at the industry museum in harpers ferry

[@davidtaylor2054]

I wish the animation would stop panning and zooming like mad. How can you see what's going on with all that movement?

amazing!!!

[@gdaychina]

Can I buy a copy of the data you used to build this 3d model so I can build my own machine
