HC Deb 20 February 1905 vol 141 c593
MR. SOAMES (Norfolk, S.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he has any information whether an automatic fuse setter is in use in any Continental armies; and whether such a fitting will be supplied with the new 18-pounder guns to the British Army.

MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

Various forms of fuse setters are in use in some of the Continental armies. The question has received and is still receiving attention in regard to the new Horse and Field Artillery equipments, but a pattern has not yet been decided on.
