Taking these experiments in detail, and classifying them into single, double, and triple rows of targets, it 
appears that the shrapnel shell showed—against single as well as against double rows of targets—a 
greater average of hits per effective round than the segment shell with time and percussion fuzes, whilst 
against the triple rows the segment with time and percussion fuzes had, on the whole, the advantage. But 
with regard to the segment shell with percussion fuzes, the number of effective rounds are too few to form 
an average.
