Abstract

Equipment for a gun loader, which incorporates a coil connected through the intermediary of a wire to a plotting apparatus, and through the utilization of which it is possible to set the fuze of an article of ammunition from the equipment of a gun layer or aimer. Inventively, the above-mentioned object is readily attained in that the coil is fastened at such a first location on an equipment which is worn by the gun loader, with which the ammunition fuze comes into contact during the handling of the ammunition during the loading sequence; in that the plotting apparatus is fastened at such a second location on the equipment which is easily viewable by the gun loader; and that between the plotting apparatus and the equipment worn by the gun layer there is provided either a wire-connected or wireless signal transmitting path.
