Abstract

Molded 155-mm propellant containers of two different lengths which could fit together to form propelling charges of varying sizes and an end cap containing the ignition charge were designed and manufactured. The end cap was capable of withstanding loading stress and could be easily assembled to the propelling charge without tools.
