Abstract

Rockets, or quot;fire-arrowsquot; in some form, have been known for13; a long time: the Chinese are recorded as having used them in 1232 A.D., and the Europeans in the 14th and 15th centuries. After having fallen into disuse with the invention and improvement of cannon, rockets reemerged in the Mysore of Hyder and Tipu in the second half of the 18th century; this spectacular revival provides a curious and fascinating episode in Indo-British technological history.
