In several articles I have seen the phrase that the Confederate artillery barrage the third day at Gettysburg was complicated by "Inferior fuses..." Does anyone know why they might have been inferior? Was there a problem in quality control? I think that by 1863 fuses were being manufactured at Augusta, and the women (?) who manufactured them were being paid on a piece work basis, but I have no documentation handy on that.
