War in the Age of Invisible Machines

by Thomas McCarthy

Kingdoms, republics and empires have risen and fallen over the millennia, their...

U.S. Military Inspector Marks

INSPECTORS MARKS

Small arms of the United States Army and Navy bear an initial or initials which are called inspector's marks. These marks appear on stocks, grips or metal parts. Some arms, especially older ones, have more than one inspector's initial or initials. The barrel was inspected before the rest of the arm was produced and thus there may be one inspector's mark on the barrel and another on the rest of the parts.

Ammunition is identified by a lot number that tells where it was made and which batch it came from. This lot number is placed on every packing container that ammo is put in. From the Conex container that ships it, to the crate...

Typical BW Aerial Spray Test


Typical BW Aerial Spray Test

In August and September of 1958, Dugway ran six night trials on the Aerial Spray Grid. The tests used a low flying F-100A with a modified a 275-gallon fuel tank to act as the spray dispenser. A critical point of the test was the performance of a nozzle that would spray out liquid particles 5 microns or less in size, so that minute drops of the liquid agent would float in the air over a wide area. The pilot
