Abstract
I SHOULD be glad to know, in reference to the possibilities of diminishing the danger in using periscopes under fire: (1) whether experiments have been tried as to the effect of cementing a plate of celluloid to the back of the exposed mirror in preventing or reducing the splintering of the glass when struck by a bullet, and, if so, with what result; (2) whether there is any danger involved in the use of celluloid for this purpose?
