Artillery Lathe

12-23-2019, 01:53 AM

I just finished reading about the breech loading cannon down in Columbus GA and wondered how many of our members were aware that a cannon lathe used by the Confederacy is still in existence and available for viewing in the Deep South? Located on the campus of Auburn University (my alma mater), is a canon lathe that was located in Selma, Alabama.

Here is a link to information about the lathe:
