bEL1cATE MECHANISM

WASHINGTON, April ga new
Bsathdealing device for use in aerial
,arfare has been patented by the
krupps, the German gun manufacture
rs. It consists of highly sensitive
hse which insures the explosion of
projectile on impact with the deli
ate resistance afforded by the gas
bsg Of a balloon or the light canvas
covering of an aeroplaDe.
Up to this time the explosion of
such projectiles in aerial warfare
Practice has been dependent altogeth-
er on time fuses, but the krupps, by
heir latest invention, have eliminated
The large elements of uncertainty In
Ibis method and have added a weapon
tsheh will be an important factor
ID the aerial warfare of the future.
Letters patent have just been issued
HI Washington for this latest of mod
ern war devices. The new fuse, while
heing susceptible to the most delicate
Impact, is safeguarded by an intricate
mechanism against the resistance Of
fered by the air in its lightning-lille
light
The fuse has base plug containing
pellet Of Illuminated mercury, which,
when ignited, sets off the explosive
charge of the projectile. The fulmin-
ate is ignited by a needle driven
sgainst the pellet by spring, which
controlled by two levers. These
kgers are normally held against
swinging by moveable shaft, which
Is made of wood for lightn2ss.
When the head of the projectile
strikes surface as delicate even as
that of the yielding silk of a balloon
Or the most fragile part of an aero
plane, the levers are released and
swing outward under centrifugal force
permitting the ignition needle to be
driven by its spring into the fulmin
| ate
The mechanism is controlled agains
the resistance of the air by anothe
device which is, however. susceptible
to the least impact beyond that en-
eountered from the atmosphere.
Experiments have shown that pro
iectiles pass through the gas bags o
balloons without completely DISABLING
them unless the explosion of the shel
Or the emission of fire can be assure
simultaneously with the impact.
Although no aeronaut has yet cor
