Projector III?

[khanmak]

Can anybody ID this item?. WW2 dated. Found in the maritime environment. Marked (first few letters obscured) Projector III. Chorley filled. Dated 1943.

Thanks in advance.

Something to do with the Holman Projector perhaps?

PIAT Recoil charge?

PIAT Recoil charge?

At 6 inches long and 3 inches diameter...? :smile:

As Glevum said, I think it's a fuze from a Holman Projector HE shell, Mk3 ? I think I have a diagram somewhere, unless someone else can find one sooner.

 

[khanmak]

Excellent. Thanks all. Any diagrams would be appreciated,

This shows the Mk1 Fuze, all I can find for the time being

 

[khanmak]

Thanks. I had this drawing and couldnt match anything. Its a bit enigmatic. I hate Naval stores!

I think you will find it is an Ejector rather than Projector. Used in 3-inch Rockets. I will find some chapter and verse.

Mark,

Here are some drawings of ejectors No 1 to No 8 (less No 6).

Hope they are useful.
