Whole-Cartridge Sensitivity Test

Whole-Cartridge Sensitivity Test. It is a gap test in which two whole cartridges, l-l/4x8 inches, are wrapped in paper with a gap of distance 8 between the end crimps of the original shell which face each other across the air gap (Ref 18, p 194-R). Compare with the test described in Ref 13, p 68 in Vol 1 of Encycl, p XIV under Gap Test . See also Halved-Cartridge Gap Method
