[edit] Section Removed, 4-2-07

I have removed one paragraph from the article, due to it being unencyclopedic. It is shown below.

CORRECTION Examination of USP US1368569 in the name of Minkler while based on the the D type depth charge has claims directed to a firing pistol which employs two springs and differs from Taylor's US patentUS 1514743 which has claims restricted to the use of a single spring as in the D type. Fullinwider's US 1372617 was probably in interference with Gwynne's US 1508140 as claim 9 of that specification is of the same scope as Claim one of Fullimwider; The application is clearly not based on the D type depth charge but describes overcoming the same problem of avoiding premature firing in a mine.Neither case supports the filing of these cases being made to avoid paying the British Inventors.

I then altered the preceeding in an attempt to summarize it. If someone more capable can fix it further, by all means do so. --8.8.198.93
