The High-Spin Tabletop Artillery Simulator (2 in.)

Abstract

The High-Spin Tabletop Artillery Simulator (2 in.) is a device for testing fuze power supplies. The tester was designed to provide in the laboratory the setback, angular acceleration, and centrifugal forces required to activate the M732 fuze power supply (PS115). Setback forces of 5000 g and spin rates of 300 rps are produced. The tester is partially automatic and provides a readout system for monitoring the power-supply output voltage. The tester and its performance characteristics are described.
