It is important to maintain an object's soundness particularly when it is sited in a public space or if it is a piece of equipment operating as originally intended. Borescopy is now being used for on-site, nondestructive internal examination; the method involves a visual probing of internal surfaces of sculpture, historic weapons, and similar types of objects. Hard copy documentation of the images observed is possible by linking the borescope to a camera and/or a video display monitor/recorder. A bronze equestrian statue of Jeb Stuart in Richmond, Virginia, was examined by this method; the procedure is described. Besides documenting the sculpture's condition, the method reveals the working technique of the sculpture, i.e., how the outer shell is fastened to the inner armature. Reproduction 18th-century cannons fired regularly during tourist season at Williamsburg have also been inspected by borescope to check for cracks; examination revealed only a build-up of carbon.
