A Captain of the Edinburgh Military Artillery, Colin, Scott Moncrieff, first introduced the idea of a disappearing gun to the British Government in 1858. He had successfully produced a design that overcame many shortcomings inherent in existing methods of mounting guns. The most significant feature of his revolutionary method was that it afforded greater protection to the crew manning the gun and to the gun itself.
