"Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, 'Armour Plates' to 'Arundel, Earls of'" is a comprehensive reference work written in the early 20th century. This volume is part of a larger encyclopaedic series that covers a wide range of topics, including arts, sciences, and historical accounts. The content likely details the history and technical specifications of various types of armour and weapons, specifically focusing on the evolution of armour plates, both for naval ships and
military applications. At the start of this volume, the article on "Armour Plates" introduces the early exploration into armoured warships, beginning with designs from Sir William Congreve in 1805 and progressing through various experiments and applications leading up to the Crimean War in 1853. It details significant developments in the field of armouring techniques, including the construction, testing, and materials used for different types of armour, as well as laws of resistance pertinent to their effectiveness against projectiles. The writing also delves into the military and naval necessity for such armament, providing a blend of historical context and technical insight into the evolution of armoured defence systems.
