MAXIM HIRAM: (1840-1916) American-born British Inventor of the Maxim Gun, the first portable, fully automatic machine gun. Fine scientific A.L.S., Hiram S. Maxim, four pages, folio, n.p., 7th February 1897, to Mr. Littledale. Maxim discusses some thoughts that have occurred to him with his correspondent, `I find that the Americans in their specification for a smokeless powder take into consideration the degree of nitration. With nitrocellulose having 11% of nitrogen, they allow 40% of nitroglycerine; when the nitrocellulose has 12% of nitrogen, they allow 25% of nitroglycerine and with 13% of nitrogen, only 10% of nitroglycerine. It will therefore seem that when Nobel started out to use di-nitrocellulose and made it about half and half he was not wide of the mark. Di-nitrocellulose is completely dissolved in nitroglycerine. They combine in all proportions and the nitroglycerine does not ooze out no matter in what proportions they may be mixed. But it is altogether different when we use a nitrocellulose with a high degree of nitration. I never attempted to use any form except that which is highly nitrated and I find it advisable from actual experiment and from what I found out was taking place in other countries, that it would not do to use a large quantity of nitroglycerine with a highly nitrated cotton and I feel certain that the Government will have to abandon the 58% nitroglycerine compound now employed. The proportions which the Americans have fixed upon as the maximum nitroglycerine allowed have been determined by long and careful experimenting by highly trained engineers in a country where the extremes of heat and cold are very great. I think a good illustration as to how the two compounds compare-that is, Maximite and Cordite-is that we might liken nitroglycerine to American cane sugar and nitrocellulose to European beet-root sugar. Suppose that one man should sweeten his coffee with one piece of cane sugar and two pieces of beet-root sugar and that another man should use two pieces of cane sugar, and only one of beet-root; this would be about the proportion of difference between the government powder and our own and the difference between the two kinds of sugar is quite as great as the difference between the explosive effects of nitroglycerine and those of nitrocellulose.` Maxim further expresses his desire that expert chemists should examine the two powders and their components and suggests that the results be shown in a table, `This would serve to show the judge in a graphic manner that the finished compounds, as far as the necessary elements of explosion are concerned, are very nearly the same thing.` The penultimate paragraph has been neatly crossed through by Maxim, although remains largely legible. A rare letter with excellent content. VG
