French 30/55 Model 1889 T Time and Percussion Fuse-This is missing some of the internal parts but is still a great display piece. This information was found on the “passioncompassion1418” website.

The French Marine developed its own time and percussion fuses from 1886 with the 18/28 Mle 1886 time and percussion fuse for the 65mm shell, equipped with a Robin percussion system, followed in 1889 by a 30/55 Mle 1886/89 time and percussion fuse system Robin for the 14cm and 16cm guns shells.

This fuse was allowing noticeably longer flight times than the fuses of the same period, since it was graduated from 0 to 49 seconds instead of the usual 22 or 30 seconds.

The Army adopted in 1889 a fuse with similar dimensions, shapes and properties, but equipped with the Saussier percussion system. This new fuse was called 30/55 mm model 1889 time and percussion fuse. The Marine decided to abandon its original design and adopt the one of the Army in 1901.

In 1902, a lateral stud was added at the tronconic hat base of the Mod 1889 fuse to make it compatible with the mechanical time setting machine ('débouchoir double'). This new version was consequently named 30/55 mm model 1889 T time and percussion fuze.

The fuse tail plug was given an unusual conical shape designed to penetrate more easily into the gunpowder mass of the shell to which the fuse was screwed, with two vents obturated with copper sheets. The 30 mm tail thread could be changed into a 40mm one using an adapter ring Mod 1889. This long combustion time fuse was mainly used with the shells of the:


•    105 mm field guns (rear charge shrapnel shells)
•    120 mm guns (shrapnel shells)
•    155 mm guns (shrapnel and illuminating shells)


A purely time fuse (without percussion system) was developed in 1913, principally for the anti-aircraft artillery, so that a shell that did not explode in the air would not explode when hitting the ground, usually in friendly territory. While the head of this 30/55 mm model 1913-time fuse without detonator was identical to the one of the 30/55 mm model Mle 1889 time and percussion fuse, its tail was of course much shorter, filled with gunpowder instead of the percussion system, and closed by a flat plug.

This variant was mainly in use with the shells of the:
•    75 mm anti-aircraft guns (rear charge or mixed charge shrapnel shells, tracer shells)
•    105 mm guns (tracer shells).

This is a very interesting display piece!

Protection with days of white residue
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Mineral sunscreens have yet to master blending in and this is no different. If you're thinking of hitting the beach with your sexy bum protected it'd better be a ghost beach because you'll look like you've been dipped in white paint. Oh, and it doesn't wash off, so be prepared to look like Casper for days to come. It rolls on fine if you shake it well first and it does protect.

Great product
I really like this sunscreen! It feels lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy. The SPF 55 gives great protection, and it works well for everyday use. Great value for the price!

Delivers what it promises
I’m a fair skinned person who burns and freckles easily and in my 40’s. I also love being outside. I have worn spf on my face (and usually my hands) basically every day since I was 13 and because of that people always say I don’t look my age. Back then, only a 4 or 8 was available in face moisturizers, but I have always worn the highest that is recommended and usually face moisturizers are behind in meeting the recommendations so I have usually worn a full on sunscreen under my makeup. As the recommendations get higher it has been harder to find something that doesn’t look pasty, smell bad or interfere with makeup. I was using Eucerin spf 30 and Cera Ve spf 30 but I have wanted to increase spf to 50 because that is what is recommended now. I tried the Cera Ve spf 50 and was disappointed by how tacky it is and pasty it looks. I don’t even like wearing it alone to the beach because it’s so chalky white and sticky. Neutrogena healthy defense is alright but it has a scent and some chemicals that are not so good. It also is a pretty small bottle (1.7 oz) when you use it everyday on face and hands. But THIS product has blown me away with its affordability and quality. It IS sheer. Easily blends in and disappears quickly into skin. It’s completely odorless. It’s not tacky or greasy—you feel moisturized but not sticky. It performs under foundation even better than the Cera Ve 30. Now, this doesn’t have the extra ceramides and vitamins that does so I’ll still be using that when I feel extra dry like in winter, or I might mix the two moisturizers, but this Solimo reef safe sunscreen will definitely be my daily face and hand sunscreen in the spring, summer and early fall. These are the days I go straight from work to the garden or the beach. I can quickly reapply over my makeup before I leave the house again feel fully protected while I’m out.
