The timing device was an electrically operated 50- cycle tuning fork. The air wave was picked up by a carbon-button unit'. The resulting records were developed immediately, thus guiding the observers in the size of the next shot. The instant of explosion was determined by the breaking of a wire wrapped around part of the charge of explosive, thus terminating the operation of the shot trans- mitter. In general, the charge of explosive was simply lowered to the 383.
