DIE SCHIESS UND SPRENGSTOFFE(SHOOTING AND EXPLOSIVES)BY ALFRED STETTBACHER LEIPZIG,1919 MISCELLANEOUS ILLUSTRATIONS

摘要

RBH Note: This book,in German,is a comprehensive tome on explosives,covering history,chemistry,manufacturing,and use of explosives and detonators,both commercial and military.With 326 pages and 141 illustrations,there isn't anything lacking in coverage of the subject as it was in 1919.The shipping of powder of any kind is governed strictly by Interstate Commerce Commission rules.Any farmer who makes a shipment should consult his freight agent beforehand as to the regulations concerning shipments.Shipping.A notice of 24 hours is required before delivery of the explosives to the station.Boxes once used to pack explosives must not be used for shipping any commodity again,under penalty of law.Blasting caps or electric fuzes must not be hauled on the same car that carries powder.Shipments of powder,caps or fuzes must be removed from the receiving station within 48 hours after they arrive there.If the consignee fails to take them away,the railroad is forced by law to move or to destroy them.Delays in transit often are caused by the railroads not having available cars which conform with safety rules or by the necessity of their having to observe other precautions.Buyers of powder,therefore,should allow more time for shipments to come through than would be required for ordinary freight.
