They were all of the same class. When Reagan sent the New Jersey to Lebanon, I remember it only took one 16” shell to quiet things down.

I don’t remember the name of the show, but I saw on TV a while a show that described this in great detail. And it even went into how they did scans on the crusted parts of this in order to determine how it worked and to make the replica. I remember that the shape of the teeth on some of the gears was critical to understand. Before they determined the original shape of the teeth then the replica would not have functioned. I believe the teeth had a curve to them as opposed to being triangler(sp?). It was a very neat show to watch.

True, but “State of the Art” has many meanings
The theory of the transistor was established in 1925, the the physical (pratical or working) transitor wasn’t assembled until 1947.
Absolute zero, it had to wait for better materials and technology (state of the art) - the list could go on - microwave or even modern radio...
Not to take anything from Tesla, he gave us polyphase AC after all - but a working ‘something’ is of greater value to Mankind than a theory - yes?

The author of the article cited in this post is Jo Marchant. In '69 - '72, we used a mechanical Marchant Calculator in the ME Program at the University of Missouri. I wonder if there's any relationship? I wonder if she knows her name is connected to a famous calculator company. In my collection of antique typewriters and adding machines I have two Marchant Calculators. They are absolutely fascinating works of genius.

I read about this in one of Frank Edwards' books. Those books were great. And scary!
