Dates?

"...had been designed and built earlier in the war..." Which war? No dates are given in this article, except a reference to the development of the concept in 1930. The obvious conclusion is WWII, but this should be explicit. -- Super Aardvark 17:25, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Which František Janeček?

František Janeček died in Germans-occupied Prague in 1941. Maybe it was his son František Karel, but I've never heard that he managed to fled away to Great Britain. Heffalump1974 (talk) 22:09, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Dimishing volume"

A tapered bore cannot cause the internal volume to diminish as the shell moves down it. The volume is increasing no matter what, as long as the shell is moving down the barrel. What changes is that the rate of increase drops off in proportion to the taper, while meanwhile the hot gases continue to expand, and pressure spikes at some point during the travel. The only way that the internal volume could actually diminish is if the shell were forced backwards down the bore. I have changed the sentence, but it is a little awkward still. Someone may want to tackle that.
