I came across a very interesting article in the Jan. 21, 2012 Scientific American titled "Warfare in 1912: A Look in Scientific American's Archives."
Daniel C, Schlenoff went back through the records for 1912 and found these items about the new warfare technology being developed these two years before the war broke out in 1914.
1. Huge coast defense guns.
2. Coast guns that could fire and then disappear behind massive concrete walls for loading (the so-called disappearing guns).
3. Secrets and Spies: a tripod device with three mirrors ground so well that they could reflect a loght beam in an exact direction from which a signal came from. Secure communications.
More to Come. --RoadDog
