Here's a pic of the "State Arsenal, Richmond" that I can't recall seeing before. It is large so you need to scroll the frame around to see it all. The people in the photo seem to be salvaging bricks, the other things having no value to them I guess.
There are two huge jackscrews shown in the photo; all I can think is that maybe they were for artillery sling carts, since they are way too large a diameter for elevating screws.
