Miner’s squib

Miner s Squib (PSjtard de Mineurs). One of the primitive devices which was invented by Daddow in Engl in 1874 for igniting blasting expls. It consists of a tapered paper tube, about 7 inches long, filled with fine gunpowd. One end of the tube is filled with chemicals, such as milled gunpowd mixed with either sulfur or sulfur and charcoal, so as to form a sort of slow match. [Pg.152]
