This is a shot tower built in 1856. Molten lead was poured through a grate in the top of the 120 foot tower in order to make shot for muskets. The liquid lead solidified as it fell and by surface tension formed tiny spheres. The partially cooled balls were caught at the floor of the tower in a water-filled basin. The fully cooled balls were checked for roundness and sorted by size; those that are "out of round" were remelted. A slightly inclined table was used for checking roundness. To make larger shot sizes, a copper sieve with larger holes was used. i.ibb.co/Gx6Yvg2/Shot-tower.jpg

This shot tower was built in 1856 and was used to make shot during the civil war. Lead was melted at the base of the tower, hoisted to the top, poured through screens of different gauges, tumbling smoothly round as it fell into the water vats below. The shot was then sorted and packed. When completed, the tower could produce between 6 to 8 tons daily. image.ibb.co/jjm2LH/POW_8.jpgimage.ibb.co/cB1DSx/POW_7.jpg
