A radio transmitter so small as to fit in the nose of a 20-millimetre projectile and so ragged that it will withstand acceleration shocks over 30,000 times the pull of gravity, has recently been put to work on the ballistic ranges, developed by the US Naval Ordnance Laboratory. The tiny transmitter, known as a 20 M Splu Sonde, will have special Im- portance in studies of projectiles using fins as a means of providing rotation, or spin, in fight. Transmitting a signal of uniform amplitude, when used on the range, the amplitude appears to vaty because of changes in the orientation of transmitter coll in relation to the antenna. A receiving antenna installed along the path of the projectile picks up the signal and feeds them into an oscilloscope. The oscilloscope traces are photographed, at stations.
