Weight of Projectile-Velocity Change for 75 mm Gun Firing FNH Powders

Abstract

Firings were made to determine the weight of projectile velocity change in the 75 mm gun for normal and reduced charges. Corrections in muzzle velocity for projectile weight are obtained from the results. A comparison is made between the observed and computed changes to determine whether the difference between the two are significant. Proposals are made for further investigations.
