Question..electriclly tested Arty Ammo????

[Dean (Ajax)]

Maybe someone can help with this WW 2 Artillery Ammo testing question..I have spent hours at my local archives and searched the net for an answer to this question...but no joy.

While researching D I L in Ajax, I have read that they tested the Artillery Rounds electricly...however I can find no more about this.

Does anyone have any ideas what this means...did they fire the rounds from Guns? Or was there some other device and system to test Rounds from each Lot of Manufacture?

By the way, the testing area for D I L Ajax is now under the Kids Water Park at the lake...always got a kick out of that. LOL
