Description
The front end of the ogive was blunt. The threads in the nose for the adapter and the booster were either tapered or pipe threads. The adapter and booster were tightly screwed into place to limit the likelihood of leakage. Neither the chemical nor the high explosive (H.E.) Round contained a base cover. Two rotating bands were a distinguishing feature in comparison with the 155mm howitzer round (which had one rotating band).
