The Burton Drawings at Harpers Ferry: The Emergence of 19th Century Drafting Practice at the U.S. Armories

Mühendislik

JAMES HENRY BURTON SPENT TEN EVENTFUL YEARS AT THE HARPERS FERRY ARMORY. During this tenure, he perfected an elongated bullet for the regulation .58-caliber rifle-musket—commonly called the Minié bullet—helped test and perfect new lock mechanisms and gun barrel rifling, and introduced drafting practice for the design of bullets, lock mechanisms, barrel rifling, and machinery. Burton’s drawings range from simple sketches used to flesh out compo¬nents of operating mechanisms to dimensioned, hand-tinted drawings of firearm components and complex machinery. According to John Symington, Supt. of the Harpers Ferry Armory, Burton’s “management was so satisfac¬tory, and his ingenuity in devising, draughting and perfecting tools and ma¬chines so marked, as to cause me at once to select him as a fit person to fill the position of Master Armorer…” The Burton Drawings at Harpers Ferry focuses on the remarkable achieve¬ments of James H. Burton during his 10-year tenure at the Harpers Ferry Armory. Burton’s notes, sketches, and detailed drawings teach us a great deal about the emergence of 19th century drafting practice and the evolution of firearm tech¬nology during the decade preceding the Civil War.
