To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ISAAC ylDIvIs, of Fitzwilliam, county of Cheshire end State'of New Hampshire, have invented e new and Improved Cartridge, of which vthe following is e spefdeetionr Figure 1 is e longitudinal-section of my improved cartridge. Fig. 2 is an end view of the sections. ,if A

The object of m55/invention is to accelerate the motion of pvojeotiles by dividing the. charge of explosive, so that leach successive portion of the chelrge increases the velocity of the projectile in erithmeticel proportion.
In the drawing, a b c are sections of the cartridge-shellrwhich are connected by the plugs d, which are. provided with nipples c, upon which percussion-'oeps f ere placed. A bell., g, also having a rnipple, e, and provided with e oep, f, is iittedl to the last of the series of cnrtridge-shell sections. l
The section a is provided with the ordinary percussion-head h, and when the cartridge is charged with powder and discharged in the.
' usual way, the charge in the `section a moves the plug between the sections a. b forward, so
that it strikesthe percussion-cap f on the nip-, ple of' the second plug, which explodes the charge contained by the second section, b, and
moves the second plug forward until it strikes f the, cap f on the nipple projecting from the belly, and causes thetlrird charge toeiqilode.4 The second plug moves with doublethe velocity of the rst, and the bell moves with double the velocity of the second plng, or four times that of the rst.
There are various ways ot' exploding the several charges, and the form ofthe cartridge maybe varied from that shown and described 5.
therefore I do not confine myself to the exact construction herein set forth..
' Having thus'fully described my invention, 1
claim es'new end desire to secure by Letters Iatent- A cartridge having e shell made in two or fmore sections, connected by plugs, and each containing seperate charges of explosive, the 1 plugs and bullets being provided with nipples for receiving percussion-cops, substantially as 'shown and described.
