From the January 21, 2011, Scientific American "Warfare in 1912: A Look in Scientific American;s Archives: Images of weapons, technology from a century ago, two years before World War I broke out in Europe" by Daniel C. Schlenoff.
This consisted of a group of very interesting photos with captions taken from the magazine back then.
Picture #1: Huge coast defense gins
#2 Coast guns fire and disappear behind thick concrete walls to load.
#3 Secrets and Spies-- Tripod devices with three mirrors ground so perfectly they reflect light beams in the exact direction it came from to provide secure communications.
#4 The battleship USS New York-- the latest Navy technology. Served in both world wars.
5. Battle Cruiser Moltke. German ship launched in 1910 and fought in two of the rare World War I naval battles. Scuttled ay the end of the war.
More to Come. --Cooter
