Jock Auld Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Chris, What is the purpose of the flat disc on the pointy end? jock
dond Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 I have one of the second type that you show minus the dish.
Chris Boonzaier Posted July 20, 2014 Author Posted July 20, 2014 Chris, What is the purpose of the flat disc on the pointy end? jock Hi, It was to slow it down and decrease the distance. The model 1913 was toooo aerodynamic, at full speed it would penetrate the ground and loose much of its power... the disk slowed it down and helped it explode above ground... The modell 1914 was supposed to be less aerodynamic and had a better fuse... with the disk used convexly it was slowed by 25% and concave by 50%... This reduced the speed and the distance fired.
Jock Auld Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Typical German, too effcient so it has to be slowed down, makes sense though. Cheers Edited July 20, 2014 by Jock Auld
