metadata.value: In the collection of the Mining Museum of the St. Petersburg Mining University there are
  individual samples and entire collections from the Russian army: the Aleksandrovsky cannonfoundry
  of the Olonetsky mining district, the Perm cannon factory, the Kamensky cast-iron
  foundry, the Nizhneesettsky iron-making plant and others. There are models, real samples and
  blanks of guns and ammunition, tools and metalworking devices, models of metallurgical furnaces,
  samples of iron, steel and alloys, ores and fuel. The collection covers the historical period
  from the end of the XVIII century to the first quarter of the XX century. In this article, exhibits
  related to the development of smooth-bore artillery, which complemented the museum
  collection from 1786 to 1880, will be considered. Museum exhibits related to the development
  of rifled artillery deserve particular publication. The Mining University, founded in 1773 by
  Empress Catherine II, along with other specialists in the mining industry, trained metallurgists
  and mechanics to work in cannon and equipment-making factories. The exhibits of the
  Mining Museum served primarily as an educational tool and were visual aids for students.
  The level of education provided in the university was high, thanks to the qualified faculty,
  laboratory and museum complexes. Well-known graduated from the Mining University include
  P. P. Anosov, N. V. Voronzov, P. M. Obuhov, N. A. Yossa and A. A. Iznoskov. Their names
  are inextricably linked with the Zlatousts, Olonets, Perm and Obukhov weapon factories. The
  factory samples were received by the museum the same year that production of weapons and
  tools was started at the factories. This collection clearly illustrates the history of the development
  of Russian artillery in general and Russian cannon and shell factories in particular. It is
  the first publication in the historiography of this topic.
