- Description:
- One drawing entitled "Fort Wayne Arrangement of Gun Platforms and B.H. Wall, and Method of Reinforcing Pintle Stones." The drawing consists of black and blue ink on heavy tan paper and shows typical plan and cross-section views of the gun platforms along the fort walls. The drawing was prepared by J. J. Lee at a scale of 1 inch = 2 feet and is dated January, 1865. Handwritten pencil text in the upper left corner shows "Note - Engr. Circular July 21st 1865 directs that all new platforms with outer traverse circles will be laid 1 foot lower than is now done. Before the reception of this order, the new circles of the main work were laid so that it will only be applied to those in the demilune." Handwritten ink text near the center of the plan sheet shows "Note. On water front of East Bastion, the gun circles were calculated for the length of the old traverse rails, 11' 7 3/4", from center to end, & the connecting stones were cut shorter than is required by Department drawings since received, as represented by the broken line m - n."
