A STUDY AND EVALUATION OF LIQUID-LEVEL AND LIQUID-VOLUME CONTROLS FOR SHELL-, ROCKET-, AND BOMB-FILLING MACHINES

Abstract

AN ART-TYPE SEARCH WAS CONDUCTED OF THE PATENT LITERATURE DEALING WITH ITEMS THAT MAY BE INCORPORATED INTO A MUNITIONS-FILLING SYSTEM. The results of this search are reviewed. A considerable number of patents on constant-volume filling machines an liquid-level indicator were discovered. Further technical information on system components was received also. The selection of a system which appears most suitable for volume filling of shells, rockets, and bombs has been made. This system, which weighs the desired amount of liquid in an intermediate chamber, is described. The components section includes a description of four components, three of which are embodied in the selected weigh-type system.
