STABILITY OF 90 MM SHELL T8

Abstract

The object of this test is to determine the stability factor of the 90 mm H. E. Shell T8 with the Mechanical Time Fuze M43, fired from the 90 mm A. A. Gun M1. This shell is a modification of the A.A. Shell M58 (T3) whose stability factor was found to be 1.33 for a twist of 1/32.
