Drill cartridges with fuses in good order set at safety are placed as

bracket fuse setter, the man sets the fuse setter at the corrector,
and, as the data are received, at the range ordered, receives the
cartridge from an assistant, inserts its head in the instrument, sets
the fuse and calls “Ready.”
At the =last word of the command for the corrector=, in trials with the
hand fuse setter, the candidate sets the fuse setter at the corrector,
and, as the data are received at the range, ordered; with the aid of an
assistant, sets the fuse, and calls “Ready.”
No credits are given in the following cases:
1. If the fuse setter is incorrectly set for corrector or range.
2. If the candidate fails to obtain a correct fuse setting within
one-fifth of a second.
If the fuse setter is found to be correctly set and is properly
operated, credits are given as follows:
