Yes ... thats the way its spelt...

And it is spelt that way in the 1941 Royal Naval Gunnery Handbook
which is somewhere in my house.

This book also gives the truth about claims that it is only members
of the US armed forces who are trained using cartoons, because they
are unable to read. The end of the first chapter shows a sailor
holding a small projectile, hand gun size. This gets larger at the
end of each subsequent chapter. The end of the last chapter shows
the sailor sitting on a very large projectile.

The best of the cartoons to illustrate particular points is the one
with a caption which goes something like, "do not disconnect
electrical circuits". It shows a sailor with a plug in one hand,
which has been withdrawn from a socket. Out of the socket there is a
flash of lightning, which ends on the sailor's nose. The sailor's
hair, hat, arms and legs are flying out at various angles. Given
that ships had DC electrical supplies at the time this advice was
particularly important.
