A "long tom" is an inclined, narrow box set stationary with a constant stream of water entering at the upper end.

Another plan used and a better and faster method, was to use what they called the long tom.

Moving two of the nine-pounders across the deck, and cutting ports for them in the bulwarks, he brought five guns, in addition to his famous "long tom," to bear on the enemy.

And now, filing over the ridge, comes the long column of infantry; and when they get to work with their "long toms" the Indians will have to skip in earnest.

Then the dirt can be treated in pans or long toms.
