A1 + KCIO3) and in back of the latter a time fuse. The operator hid in a hole and, at the approach of the tank, ignited the fuse" which, in turn, ignited the thermite. Just as soon as the heat of the thermite melted the resin, the device was-struck (by the operator) to the bottom armor plate of the tank. At the same time the heat of the thermite set off the detonator and this in turn initiated the main charge This device was in an experimental stage when the war terminated Ref 1) E.E.

Reinsdorf Explosion. The spent acid from the trinitration step in the manuf of TNT has been the cause of several disasters, although it had been considered safe to handle. The most noteworthy example of this occurred in the Reinsdorf factory in Ger in 1935. The hot spent add flowed down to open iron tanks, where, as the liq cooled, a mixt of di- and tri-nitrotoluenes rose to the surface. It was skimmed off from time to time and transferred to a washing tank, where it was washed with w. On skimming, a rubber glove and a shelf left on the edge of the tank with some cotton wool on it- fell into the tank. The reaction between the spent acid and the rubber and cotton wool initiated violent decompn and fire. An attempt to extinguish the flames failed, and soon the nitro compds on the surface of the spent acid expld. The expln...
