564 Appendix A
Mil: Angular unit of elevation or deection, 1/6400 of a circle approximately 1/1000 of
the range. When used in a statement such as “The projectile had 5 mils of right
deection,” means the projectile fell 5 m to the right of the line of re for every
kilometer of range.
MT fuze (mechanical time fuze): A fuze that utilizes stored mechanical energy in the
form of springs and gearing to count time from ring until initiation.
MTSQ fuze (mechanical time, super quick fuze): A fuze that utilizes stored mechanical
energy in the form of springs and gearing to count time from ring until initia-
tion, and also has a point detonating mode that will initiate on contact with a sur-
face. This allows a backup if the time setting is in error ...
