Type Firing Device Ml

Following are examples of "firing devices" 1) Delay Type Firing Device Ml (Demolition) (Fig 22) consists of a two-part cylindrical case, joined near the center-by a coupling. The half of the case which contains firing mechanism is brass, while the other half contg glass am-... 

Concussion Detonator Ml, Delay Type is a mechanical firing device actuated by the concussion wave of a nearby blast. It fires several charges simultaneously without connecting them by wires or detonating cord. A...

It may be mentioned in passing that strike-anywhere type ( kitchen ) match tips and formulations based on these (see Chapter 12) can be initiated by stab primer pins. Again, the difference between proper functioning and mere splitting of the match tip may depend on the profile and roughness of finish of the pins, as was experienced in World War II in connection with the Ml Delay Firing Device ( delay pencil ) about which more will be said later.
