Exp and Type Used to record the ammunition expenditure and shell-fuze type . This portion of the record of fire is used toindicate a total number of rounds fired of a particularshell and fuze up to that point in the mission. When theshell and/or fuze changes, the count is restarted and theprevious shell or fuze is recorded. Upon completion ofthe mission, the computer uses this trotal, by type, tosubtract from the ammo count. Place a check markafter the type when this number is subtracted from theunits ammo count. The number of rounds is recorded
when computed and circled when fired.
