Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon

The Hotchkiss revolving cannon is one of several repeating guns developed in the late 19^th Century. Its designer Benjamin B. Hotchkiss was born at Watertown, Connecticut, in 1826. Born into a family familiar with both invention and machinery he had been responsible for designing both guns and ammunition prior inventing the Revolving Cannon. The revolving cannon was a manually operated gun, comprising of five barrels operated by the continuous turning a crank which caused automatic loading, firing and extraction of empty cartridge cases.
