Thanks guys...now, I wonder what the launcher looked like..and did they shoot the round into the lake ( Ontario) or wha happened to it???
I mean, if they fired the round into the lake..how would they know it worked??? The Projectile would not go off on impact with the water..and how far out into the lake would it have gone??? Just questions I now have after really lookng into how "Shells" were filled, painted, packed and tested. There are so many dead ends on this..as I live in Ajax..the largest shell filling town outside Russia during the War...you would think I could find the answers to this and many other questions..not even our Archives out here can answer many questions..hell I asked questions they never thought of...never mind could answer.. Well the Film Production I am helping out on this has almost no money...yup. if we were American...I could see the Millions rolling in..however it is a case of the Devil you know...sort of thing....the scripts are somewhat...well lets just say...someone that knows NOTHING about this wrote them..and I am trying to point out the errors...while providing a "way" do sort it out. One guy found on line a photo of a cutaway 18 pounder..so everything he bought looked like the stuff in the photo...including the cordite...I had to tell him that cordite was not soft..but brittle..and the photo he had was of a Traing Aid...so they used thick string for the cordite...limp stuff!!! Well, Do what you can to make it closer to right..maybe next time!!! Dean
