Set up to remedy deficiencies in national armaments production after the War of 1812, it became most famous for its production of Parrott rifles and other munitions during the Civil War, although it also manufactured a variety of iron products for civilian use. The rise of steel making and declining demand for cast iron after the Civil War caused it to gradually sink into bankruptcy and cease operations in the early 20th Century. ==Founding and early products== The impetus for its creation came from James Madison, who, after the War of 1812, wanted to establish domestic foundries to produce artillery.〔 Cold Spring was an ideal site: timber for charcoal was abundant, there were many local iron mines, and the nearby Margaret's Brook provided water power to drive machinery. The site was guarded by West Point, across the Hudson River, and the river provided shipping for finished products. The West Point Foundry Association was incorporated by Gouverneur Kemble, who came from a merchant family in New York City (although his mother's family had connections in Putnam Co.), and the foundry began operation in 1817.〔 Artillery was tested by firing across the Hudson at the desolate slopes of Storm King Mountain, which would later have to be swept for unexploded ordnance as a result after some of it exploded in a 1999 fire. The platform used for mounting artillery for proofing was uncovered during Superfund work in the early 1990s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Foundry Cove Archaeology )〕 Besides artillery, the foundry also produced iron fittings for civilian uses, such as pipe for the New York City water system and sugar mills for shipment to the West Indies. A number of early locomotives were built at the foundry, including the ''Best Friend of Charleston'', the ''West Point'', the ''DeWitt Clinton'', ''Phoenix'', and ''Experiment''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「West Point Foundry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
