take of an inch Dave
Now that a photo is posted, the projectile that DJ submitted is the 175mm Gun HE projectile. I've never heard of it referred to as 7 inch. And there were a number of reasons why it went out of service. Due to the velocity to get the range it needed, it had a very short barrel life and took 4 times the powder of a 155mm Howitzer, but it was our only long range Army gun to compete with the Russian 130mm guns.

What is this and in what model ordnance item is this to be found ?
Most of you will never have had an inside view like this. You can see this in high class museum ehibition displays like I did some weeks ago. You see this view only in the disassembled item or in a cut model. When, for a very short time, this was available for peanuts, absolutely nobody in the ordnance collectors community was interested in this also this is a very expensive precision item which will probably cost a few thousand $ to produce. pzgr40 probably will remember it, because a long time ago I saw a cut model containing this item which I assume to come from his hands, so he should answer only if nobody else knows.
Kind regards,
Bellifortis.

Hallo,
I'm sorry if I upset any established order of question and answer. It was not my intention to intrude with my contribution, but a misunderstanding of the established system.

Hi Slick,
negative, if the "Krauts" would have had that, they may even have had won the war. There are nearly 40 years between these developments. As a clarification I attach a photo of the V2 guidance gyroscopes.
