No. 16362.—13th May, 1903. GEORGE ARMSTRONG PETERS, of 102, College street, Toronto, County of York, Province of Ontario, Canada, Physician. Certain new and useful improvements in self-registering electrically operated sectional targets.

Claims.—(1.) A self-registering electrically operated sectional target comprising a plurality of separate sections and a rigid support for each section, and means behind each section operated by the force emanating from the impact of the bullet transmitted through the rigid section for completing a circuit from such section to an annunciator, as and for the purpose specified. (2.) A self-registering electrically operated sectional target comprising a plurality of separate sections and a rigid support for each section, a contact located behind each section, and means between the contact and the section operated by the force emanating from the impact of the bullet transmitted through the rigid section for making a connection with the contact and completing the circuit from such section to an annunciator, as and for the purpose specified. (3.) A self-registering electrically operated sectional target comprising a section rigidly supported and a contact located behind the section, and means interposed between the section and the contact operated by the force emanating from the impact of the bullet transmitted through the rigid section for completing an electric circuit to an annunciator, as and for the purpose specified. (4.) In a self-registering electrically operated sectional target, the combination with a plurality of sections having their edges lying in proximity to each other, of moss-bars supported on a suitable frame, and shanks connected to the cross-bars and to each section so as to support them in position, and means behind each section operated by the force emanating from the impact of the bullet transmitted through the rigid section for completing a circuit from such section to an annunciator, as and for the purpose specified.
