Well, the modernist 1880-1920s would definitely be your period, I'd bet. :) There's something about the tentativeness of all that period's designs--nothing could be standard, because it was all changing so *quickly* that even standardization (...)

The theory was marvelous, but in the end it wasn't nearly as marvelous as the American-pioneered raised-end mounting, which became standard by 1916 on capital ships of all nations. (...) Well, (...)
