Hello,
I have a question (most probably for the french members):
The french mechanical time fuzes are called "Type vaucanson" but they are clearly of Krupp/Thiel system. Where does the name Vaucanson came from? I guess the famous french inventor has nothing to do with the fuzes as was died a long time before the fuzes came.
Was there a french watch factory called Vaucanson? Today I only find a US watch company named after the famous inventor Vaucanson.
Thanks, Alpini
