Description:This is the other type I cannot keep stocked. This one has it all, clearly showing: the Hotchkiss 3pc construction and the complex internal workings of this shell. The powder was below the pusher plate and propelled the case shot out the nose of the shell in one direction. The fusing system is shown in all its complexity -- time fuse adapter with tube extending through pusher plate to powder cavity connected to the shin bone connected to the headbone, etc. OK, not quite that complex...
