ARMOR PLATE FOR THE NAVY. Congressional Legislation Relating to the Priceof Armor for United States Naval Vessels. The first contract for armor was made by the NavyDepartment with the Bethlehem Iron Company on June1, 1887. This contract was for the armor for the battle-ships Maine and Texas and for the monitors Puritan, Am-pMtrite, MonadnocJc, and Terror. The am.ount of armorcontracted for was estimated at about 6,700 tons, at anaverage price of about $536 per ton. This armor, as con-tracted for, was of plain steel, oil-tempered and annealed.Later, and after careful experimenting by the Navy De-partment, the introduction of nickel into steel for armorwas specified on account of the increased ballistic resist-ance which could thus be obtained. Armor treated bythe Harvey process, whereby the faces of the plates arehardened, having been found to be far superior to homo-geneous or soft-faced armor, the Navy Department order-ed the application of this process to all armor not com-pleted at
