Abstract

Hitherto the spin of the projectile has been measured with the help of spin loop method (for magnetised projectiles) and Multishot Ballistic Synchro method (for magnetised and non-magnetised projectiles). This paper discusses the method of measurement of spinwith a single ballistic synchro picture; the advantage of this method is that it dispenses with elaborate and precise optical alignment, required for Multishot Ballistic Synchro method.
