Two unrelated things
Aug. 29th, 2006 02:51 pmFirst, need some help here trying to identify an image. Something I've seen somewhere before
It's a face of a knight/man wearing armour, front on; helmet is like a upturned bowl with / \coming down each side, and there is chanmail or something similar around the lower head. Medieval, or earlier.
I'm thinking carving, brass rubbing or similar.
Edit: scratch rubbings.
Second, artillery shells -- when did they get timed fuses? Too many websites on similar but not quite what I want topics.
Edit: got that. Didn't know fuze was a word (Macquarie doesn't either).
