What was a Chicago Piano?

The Chicago Piano or the 1.1-inch Quads was an anti-aircraft gun used on navy ships during WW2. In 1933, the US Navy needed an automatic anti-aircraft gun that was between the machine gun and the larger dual-purpose guns. They were presented the Hudson Gun that fired a 1.1-inch shell. It was developed to fit on a mount that fired 4 guns simulataneously in order to achieve the desired firepower. There was some design problems with the mount and improvements allowed it to enter service in 1938. The Hudson 1.1-inch gun was a water-cooled gun that used a gas-set, spring operated recoil. It could fire 150 one-pound high explosive shells per minute with a muzzle velocity of 2,700 feet per second to a max range of 7,000 yards. The 1.1-inch Quad was mounted onto everything from destroyers to battleships and carriers. It was in action at Pearl Harbor but there is no record of one downing a Jap plane. Soon the 20-mm Oerlikon automatic guns were replacing the .50-caliber maching guns and the 40-mm Bofors in twin and quad mounts began to replace the Hudson 1.1-inch Quad mount. *This can also refer to the Thompson machinegun, or Tommy-gun, used by gangsters in the 1930's.

How do pianos work?

Grand pianos and acoustic uprights are different.

Grand piano: A key is a long piece of wood which is balanced on a rail in the middle of the keybed. Depressing the key makes the opposite end lift up, putting to work an extremely complex series of mechanisms constructed of wood, hyde glue, felt, leather, springs, and small metal pins. A small piece of wood called a jack pushes against a felt and leather roll called a knuckle or a roller, which is glued on the backside of the hammer shank near the pivot-axis, making the hammer move or shoot upwards; the hammer is a rolled, compressed, and cut piece of felt attached on a shank which hits 3 (2 and 1 in the bass section) metal strings from under to produce a sound. A felt damper moves off of the string as the key is depressed to let the strings vibrate, and as the key is allowed to return to normal, the damper comes back down on the string, stopping vibrations and therefore discontinuing the production of sound. The design of the action, which needs to be finely tuned, allows for all of the pieces to naturally fall back into their original start-up positions. A damper pedal for the feet results in all dampers to be removed from the strings, allowing harmonics on other notes in common with the note you are playing to be excited and start vibrating on their own, making the sound dynamic as different parts of the sound are coming from different parts of the piano. There is far more to know about the action, such as repetition and the roles of each piece, as well as pieces elsewhere on the piano which have a purpose on their own, though that is enough information to fill a book.
