Ordnance definition

Plasma Its Definition, Generation and Ordnance Applications. The term plasma is defined by Funk Wagnall (Ref 44a) as ... any gas composed of.. . equal numbers of positive ions and electrons.. This definition has been expanded enormously in terms of concept, theory... 

The Wehrmacht had considered even the increase at Schkopau [first Buna plant] of from 200 to 2000 tons a risk. The Wehrmacht definitely did not welcome a second plant. General Loeb considered it entirely impudent, and Colonel Phillipps [Army Ordnance] on his part would do everything in his power, also with General Loeb, to prevent the construction.

One of the electronic flash lighting highspeed photographic units described by Whelan (Ref 4) was installed at the US Naval Ordnance Laboratory, White Oak, Maryland. This system combined the desirable features of rotating prism type motion picture cameras (such as Eastman Type III Camera) with those of electronic flash lighting. This resulted in a system which delivered extremely high overall definition and incorporated operating flexibility. With this system it was possible to obtain as many as 8000 frames per second without reduction of the illumination available per flash... 

Under Behavior Towards Metals and Other Substances. AN very definitely attacks shellac, baked oils and natural rubber compounds if applied as a coating. The only materials that we know of which can be used as coatings for AN and AN solutions are certain polyvinyl chloride coatings and a number of epoxy resins. The Ordnance Department used acid-proof black paint, shellac, baked oil and rubber paints. All were quite unsuccessful over long periods of time...

Accdg to Amer definition, cannon is a piece of ordnance, fixed or mobile,intended to fire projectiles of greater caliber than 0.60 inchi.Refs 11 16). Its Brit definition is "a weapon of greater caliber than 1 inch (Ref 14, v 4,p 751)... 

Accdg to Amer definition, cannons, recoilless guns, rocket launchers and guided missile launchers are classified as "pieces of artillery or "pieces of ordnance (Ref 16)... 

Of course, the right expertise is needed. The report also illustrates what can go wrong relying on the military s experts during site remediation and how to avoid these mistakes. The information is also particularly useful for World War I sites that were by definition experimental because all of the known agents and ordnance designs are included in these materials. Finally, it shows the type of archival documents that may be available for your site. (The appendix exhibits are not included in the first report but comprised 150 pages.)... 

The most abundant manufacture of pyrotechnical ordnance components is undoubtedly that of the so-called tracers. They are very small flares pressed into a cavity at the base of a small-arms or artillery projectile or into a separate assembly fitted into the base. Since the tracer (if properly functioning) burns in cigarette fashion, it may serve as a delay that destroys the projectile after a definite interval.
