Seacoast Fortifications of the Golden Gate

I am so glad to see that someone hooked up a battery to this old tractor. And here I was afraid that it wouldn’t move because of the flat tires and all the rust. Apparently it was the battery. I guess a mechanic has determined that is all it needs to plow again.
I don’t know the make or the year of this tractor. It does seem to be all in one piece though.

To find these batteries I had to dig into my plastic box where I store all my expended batteries before taking them to the recycling. Most have come out of old film cameras so are not pristine. Before anyone asks the question, the one on the right is actually a stack of two batteries and if you look closely at the right side of the top one you will know what I mean by "not pristine"!

Originally built as an 1870s System battery for the defense of San Francisco Harbor under the supervision of Colonel George Henry Mendell. Construction took place between 1871 and June of 1873 but the battery was not armed and the suspension of coastal defense funding in 1876 placed the battery in caretaker status without any cannon in place. Although some official documents refer to the nine gun emplacement as Battery Ridge, the builder of the battery referred to the four north most emplacements as Battery Ridge and the five south most emplacements as Battery Cliff.
The battery was built with emplacements for nine smoothbore 15″ Rodman cannons mounted on iron Barbette carriages. The five south most gun emplacements were 6″ center pintle mounts while the four north most emplacements were 6″ forward pintle mounts. Two earth covered brick magazines were built for the south most cannons and two for the north most cannons. The battery had a commanding view of the Golden Gate and, at 445′, was one of the highest seacoast batteries in the country.
Hythe. A blurry iPhone snap taken while I was listening to Ukrainians talk about today's grim events.
Located at the northern end of the Odaiba reclaimed land, this is Odaiba in the narrow sense. It is an off-shore islet protected by stone walls and installed with cannons, which is conserved as a historic monument.
Planted trees are Japanese black pine (Pinus thunbergii). It is planted all over Odaiba.
In response to the provocation by the US "Black Ships" in 1853, Tokugawa Shogunate ordered Egawa Hidetatsu Tarouzaemon (江川英龍太郎左衛門) to construct a set of battery to protect the capital of Japan from foreign powers. He barely completed the difficult task in eight months and died soon after the completion probably due to the hard work.
He was originally a local magistrate in Nirayama at the foot of Izu Peninsula, Shizuoka prefecture. He became interested in the coastal defence matters, learned Western gunnery and techniques in Nagasaki, and eventually involved in the Tokugawa shogunate with this matter.
He realised the necessity to introduce modern iron foundry techniques to produce modern arsenal, for which he auto-didactically constructed the first reverberatory furnace in Japan in his home town of Nirayama.
Egawa's residence is conserved in his hometown. It is a traditional wooden structure constructed in the 17th century without a nail (flic.kr/p/HaHVkF), which is interesting as he is considered the father of modern iron foundry in Japan.
