An electric target is one of the latest Ger-
man ordnance inventions. It consists es-
sentially of two parts, one the target iteelf
aud the other the electric registering appar-
atus. The target is inaele in sections.
When struck by a bullet the partieular Nee -
Von bit is forced back, together with ite
spring, by the force of the impact. The
spring strikes a vertical lever and causes
it to fall into a horizontal position. By this
means electrical communication is estab-
lished through contacts and. a battery with
the registering apparatus pieced at the fir-
ing point, and, an electrical hell is rung sine
ultaneously. To interrupt the circuit and
stop the boll a cord is pulled and a brush
passes over the face of the target removing
the bullet mark. M the same time the lev-
er is restored to its original position.
