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!

Great option for boys or girls
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Black, Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Black
This is really more of a unisex option for a sandal. I have sandals that look like this, and both of my children have worn this style. I ordered these for my daughter, with the plan to pass them down to my son if they're not too worn when she outgrows them. The style is very minimalistic, so it goes with lots of outfits. All the straps are easily adjustable, so you can get a good fit. I would say the length is true to size, but the width is maybe a bit wide. Nevertheless, the adjustable straps really help them fit well. They feel really sturdy and I appreciate that the sole has cushion to it. My daughter has worn these every day since I got them out of the closet and they're holding up well.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
Yes, kids are tough on shoes, but these pictures show these shoes after 5 hours of wear!!! Extremely poor durability of the toe material on these Stride Rite shoes! We've been buying Stride Rite exclusively since our son could walk and we've never come across any pair of their athletic toddler shoes made with such poor choice of non-durable materials! We're returning these and staying clear of the 360 line. I think they are made much cheaper than M2P line.

Stride Rite is Supreme
Size: 8 Toddler, Color: Tan
I have always loved the Stride Rite quality! The shoes are extremely durable. They’re very attractive and easy to dress up or down so that I don’t have to keep five pairs of shoes on hand at all times. The sole is nice and thick and it accommodates wide or regular feet. I love that they use Velcro, which makes it easy to put on. It gives my daughter plenty of cushion when she’s playing outside.

Darling Shoe
Size: 7 Toddler, Color: White
I’ve always been skeptical about purchasing online due to the fact that I’m the kind of person that needs to touch/feel, try out the product. However, when I saw these plus, coming from a brand that I trust, I decided to give them a try. Oh I’m so glad I did! These shoes are just darling! What makes it even better is the comfort. My 2 year old loves her shoes and will wear them around the house just because. She’s a size 7 and that’s what I got for her and the shoe fit is true to size. The cut outs are perfect! I’ve purchased other shoes where the cut outs aren’t as great, hence the hesitation on buying these. I definitely recommend they are a 10/10! On everything even presentation but comfort is what’s important!

Solid Quality

You can never go wrong with stride rite. Love that you can take the inserts out for a little more space. My kid has been able to wear these for kindergarten and first grade.
