And finally this, a late ww1 LCM canister with the rounded
top. I haven't seen any documentation on this variation.
But it was likely introduced to go with the automatic engine
mounted cannon. This would require smooth feeding and the
flat topped version no doubt would catch and jam. This one
was likely sent over to the U.S. for evaluation (so there maybe
more this side) and the idea was copied by the U.S. in another
1930s experimental round, which I think was a Browning type.
That round used the American MKl canister as a base.
I am looking for the ww1 French training canister,
it has 8 open vertical slots in the sides four sets
of two slots one above the other.
