This Coast Obus was made by hand with winch and strawberry.
the howitzer tube of 305 mm Costa Ordóņez is of machined aluminum with the tilting axis and maneuver stumps turning, milling and embedded in the tube. With all the bands or sunchos perfectly made with an accuracy.
They were used in La Habana- Cuba, in the Spanish-American War and the Philippines against the fleet of Admiral Dewey. In the Spanish Civil War two pieces were used in Cataluņa.Two howitzers were used on railways. There were other 2 pieces in Cartagena. From main page

This Coast Obus was made by hand with winch and strawberry. Very drole! Perhaps it should read:
"another exquisite piece of work of my friend Juan Vicente Moro, fresh from his masterful hands on the wheel and the milling cutter." |

Thanks for clearing that up, Margard. My poor Spanish skills were defeated by "fresa". |
