Best Answer

A wonderful example of inventive genius created to fulfill a specific need. By dropping molten metal in measured amount through sieves into a water bath, uniform balls were created that could be gauged. A weapon barrel can't accept a ball larger than its diameter and when the shot is much smaller accuracy is greatly diminished. It is more correctly known as the Phoenix Shot Tower.
