Abstract

1301081 Projectiles WILLIAM BEARDMORE & CO Ltd 4 Oct 1943 [22 March 1943] 4632/43 and 16261/43 Heading F3A High-explosive projectiles for perforating armour, breeching concrete fortifications &c., have a thin-walled casing 10 of graded thickness and an inner flexible container 1 for an H.E. charge of plastic nature. On impact, the easing 10 fractures and the charge 1 flattens against the target, as indicated in Fig. 1, before being detonated by a fuze 12. The container 1 may be made of two or more layers 9 of plaited or woven strands, strips or wires, or of two or more thin sheet-steel cylinders fitted within one another, the walls of the cylinders being slitted longitudinally, the slits in the several cylinders being relatively staggered. The projectile may contain also a second H.E. charge 11 with hollow front 11<SP>1</SP>, and it may have a readily crushable nose-cap 16 or an armour-piercing head. According to Provisional Specification 4632/43, the container 1 may be a bag of textile fabric and the casing 1 may be rupturable by centrifugal action during the flight of the projectile, toggle links between the head and base of the projectile limiting the outward dilation of the bag. Provisional Specification 16261/43 states also that the invention is applicable to non-rotating projectiles such as mortar bombs and torpedoes.
