Knabe - for an old red leg (artilleryman for you civilians) this was right up my alley. I did my OAC thesis, in part, on this guy. You would be surprised by the amount of intelligence that the Army had on this guy in the late '70's.

this gun suffered from the same thing the nuclear tipped rockets we threatened N. Korea with, limited field mobility.  still it worked as we quit invading each other.  also similar to the "big gun" in edinbugh castle.  i don't think that one was ever fired in anger, maybe once.  that type of gun basically ended the logic of a castle.  interesting asset management theory there, where distributed force works well against a consolidated one.  of course our government keeps consolidating.

AAOK, that's gotta be my best attempt at reaching for your rung.  sadly, my average is poor and this is just an outlier.
