Description
The projectile body was constructed of seamless drawn-steel tubing 5 millimeters (0.2 inch) thick with forge-welded ends. It can be identified by the projections at each end, which were 28 millimeters (1.1 inches) in diameter and approximately 550 millimeters (21.7 inches) long. The projectile had a filling capacity of approximately 11,000 cubic centimeters (671.2 cubic inches). A central tube ran the length of the projectile and was welded at both ends. A steel plug was welded into the tube to divide it into the section used to receive the burster tube and the section used for filling. After filling, the projectile was sealed by screwing a tapered plug into the filling hole.
