in the course of the 
next years mines and

famous shooting 
ranges for big guns 
i n Missen were 
opened. In 1887 
Alfred Krupp died on 
July 14th.

ably continued by his 
son and a number of 
eminent assistants. In 1889 smokeless powder was 
invented and the construction of guns greatly im¬ 
proved. In 1890-92 the manufacture of steel plates 
was added to the business and the Gruson works in 
Magdeburg bought,
