Compression projectile
Compression projectile Com*pres"sion pro*jec"tile
A projectile constructed so as to take the grooves of a rifle
by means of a soft copper band firmly attached near its base
or, formerly, by means of an envelope of soft metal. In small
arms the modern projectile, having a soft core and harder
jacket, is subjected to compression throughout the entire
cylindrical part.

parallel to three rectangular planes passing through the
three axes. Orthogonal projectionOrthogonal Or*thog"o*nal, a. [Cf. F. orthogonal.]

Orthographic or Orthogonal, projection, that projection
which is made by drawing lines, from every point to be
projected, perpendicular to the plane of projection. Such
a projection of the sphere represents its circles as seen
in perspective by an eye supposed to be placed at an
infinite distance, the plane of projection passing through
the center of the sphere perpendicularly to the line of
sight. Projectment

Design; contrivance; projection. [Obs.] --Clarendon.
ProjectorProjector Pro*jec"tor, n.
An optical instrument for projecting a picture upon a screen,

opaque object, as photographs, picture post-cards, insects,
etc., in the colors of the object itself. In this latter form
the projection is accomplished by means of a combination of
lenses with a prism and a mirror or reflector. Specific
