Hello,Firstpaulee,I have always admired the design of the mine, and the concept of using a mortar to distribute areawise. Why did you use twin plastc mouldins for the obturator-perhaps this was to prevent one "cocking over"? You had an expansion chamber -was this to allow for complete combustion of the propellant prior to mine movement?
I have never understood how the mines were propelled to different ranges.Did the top mine in the column move the slowest, as the stack gradually increased in speed?
The arming key had twin prongs, but there is only one hole in the mine? There is someone, ex RE, who has built up a collection of Ranger mines and other devices, and would like to comunicate with you, if agreable?
