MECHANICAL DELAY ARMING DEVICE FOR OFF CENTER SPIN APPLICATION

摘要

A study was conducted at Frankford Arsenal to determine the feasibility of employing a mechanical timer in a spin environment when all components are mounted off the axis of rotation. It is necessary, for practical purposes, to consider a range of spin radii and speed, so for this study the upper design limits were 2. 5 inches and 16, 000 rpm. Results of this study indicate that the device designed for this pro-gram will operate in the required environment, but additional effort is necessary to establish timing accuracy and to eliminate deficiencies.
