Prods

A common name in some parts for the prickers on a loam-plate. See PRICKERS.

Projectiles are such bodies as, being put in a violent motion by any great force, are then cast off or let go from the place where they received their quantity of motion; as a shell or shot from a gun. There are various descriptions of projectiles, spherical and elongated, some being solid, others hollow; also case-shot, etc. See SHOT; SHELL; ORDNANCE.
