The peak of igniferous fuze design in Britain was achieved in 1905 with the introduction of the Fuze, T&P, No. 80... It was introduced for the 13 and 18-pounder guns; it employed two time rings, effectively one larger ring, to increase the accuracy of timing... It offered time settings from zero to 22 seconds, in tenths of a second. Setting was achieved by turning one time ring with respect to the second, the principle used by all subsequent igniferous time fuzes. Many modifications to, and variants of, this fuze appeared over the years but the principles remained until the arrival of the mechanical time fuze. 1, record 5, English, - igniferous%20fuze

In the pressure type air gauge, air passes through a filter and regulator and is then divided into two channels. The air in the reference channel escapes to atmosphere through a zero setting valve. The air in the measuring channel escapes to atmosphere through the gauge head jets. The two channels are connected by an extremely accurate differential pressure meter. The master is placed over the gauging spindle and the zero setting valve is adjusted until the gauge needle indicates zero. Any deviation in the workpiece size from the master size changes the reading. 2, record 14, English, - pressure%20type%20air%20gauge

(à remarquer que "altimeter setting" a ici un sens restreint. Voir fiche "altim. setting") (Note. Dans le "Airways weather report", le calage est donné au moyen de trois chiffres représentant la pression barométrique en pouces de mercure, avec deux décimales, le premier chiffre étant omis. Ainsi "018" signifie 30.13 po. de mercure. (G.S.M., p. 175, group 4) 993-2993 1, record 15, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20du%20calage%20d%27altim%C3%A8tre
