Yarghu - A portable canon cleaner of 15th Century
"Yarghu" is one type of portable canon cleaner used in the great Mughal Emperor Akbar's regime. This machine was invented by Fathullah Shlraji. He was a scientist and inventor, likewise his solution was a mechanical contraption that eliminated the need of human effort and made the cleaning of the barrels more thorough. The Yarghu was as unique as its inventor, and it is thought to be an all iron and steel beast. Using iron bristles densely packed together as cleaning brushes it could clean sixteen cannons simultaneously and a do a much better job than the strongest man in the army.
