High Mountain Shooting Experiment
Paul Helbronner, head of the Mountain Shooting Experiments Section of the Inventions Directorate, conducts fire tests in Bourg-d'Oisans, Isère, to calculate high altitude artillery firing tables. He is there on this occasion with his wife and his colleagues.
The first part of the film shows the installation of various equipment at altitude on a mountainside. Sinusoidal plots are made and analysed during gunfire. In a second stage, soldiers fire different guns from a valley towards the peaks under the watchful eye of the researchers.
