Therefore, for the first part of its history, the torpedo was guided only in the sense that its course could be regulated so as to achieve an intended impact depth ( because of the sine wave running path of the Whitehead, this was a hit or miss proposition, even when everything worked correctly ) and, through gyroscopes, a straight course.

In particular, they transmitted the impact through even the thickest helmet and caused concussions.

Meanwhile on the Silk Road, gunpowder and early modernity had the opposite impact: the level of integration of the Mongol Empire could not be maintained, and trade declined ( though partly due to an increase in European maritime exchanges ).

Solid cannonballs (“ shot ”) did not need a fuze, but hollow balls (“ shells ”) filled with something, such as gunpowder to fragment the ball needed a fuze, either impact ( percussion ) or time.

If Acorn had thought to include this small modification in the original Electron design it is likely the machine would have had a much greater impact as it would have nearly doubled the amount of motion possible in games and saved modes 0 – 3 ( including the only 16 colour mode ) from being nearly useless due to contended memory timings.

Since the runner would now have been at second anyway, the passed ball no longer has any impact on the earned / unearned calculation.

Styblo and Meijer argued neonatal immunization protected against miliary TB and other noncontagious forms of TB, and not pulmonary TB which was a disease of adults, and that mass immunization campaigns with BCG would therefore not be expected to have a significant public health impact.
