According to ca- loric theory, the metal from the cannon [...] his most famous experiment, Rumford arranged for a can- non to be bored under water, with a blunt drill. After two-and-a-half hours, the water began to boil. Since heat kept getting produced by the cannon-boring proc- ess and its production did not drop or stop over time, Rumford argued that heat could not be a caloric fluid. Rumford also
