Invention concerns arrangement of fuse and explosives within a projectile, but also the 'uncoiling' of an 'appendage' during flight to act as a stabilizing tail

  • Tech class CPC F42B10/14: Stabilising arrangements using fins spread or deployed after launch, e.g. after leaving the barrel
  • Inventor location: Tupelo, MS
  • Witnesses signing the diagrams include H. Aubrey Toulmin, apparently the same character who later becomes the Wrights' patent attorney. Peculiarly, the witnesses named on the patent specification text are different.
  • Turner signed April 25, and it's recorded as filed at PTO on May 15, about 20 days later.
