Abstract

A device is provided for recording transverse acceleration of a projectile longitudinally traveling along a barrel. Within the projectile, the device includes a base, a cantilever beam, a stylus and a medium. The beam longitudinally extends at a first end from the base. The stylus connects to a second end of the beam, being longitudinally opposite from the first end. The medium is rigidly fixed relative to the base and indicates transverse deflection extent of the second end onto the medium. The transverse deflection extent can be vertically perpendicular to the beam, and the stylus can permit deflection that is horizontally perpendicular to the beam. A method is provided for recording transverse acceleration of a projectile longitudinally traveling along a barrel that includes providing a base within the projectile, suspending a cantilever beam longitudinally within the projectile from the base from a first end of the beam, fixing a medium relative to the base, and connecting a stylus to a second end of said beam, the second end being opposite from the first end, the stylus indicating transverse deflection extent of the second end onto the medium.
