SHRAPNEL FIRE.

b urst with percussion fuzes through the screen, and thus the action of 
time fuzes was closely imitated, the height above plane and distance in 
front of object being capable of exact measurement. The ranges 
were 800 yds. and 1500 yds.—the latter being obtained by a reduction 
of charge., the guns remaining at the former distance. 
Diagrams were taken of the targets, and the numbers of cavalry and 
infantry disabled were estimated by placing glasses over them, having 
figures drawn to scale. When any figure showed a hit or lodge it was 
counted as one; when two, as two men disabled; but any larger 
number did not affect the result. 
Throughout the present paper, the effect on targets having 6 ft. 
height, or on infantry dummies, will, for the purpose of avoiding con¬ 
fusion, be as far as possible considered. 
The effects produced by the shell most nearly identical with the 
present service pattern are given in Table I.
