Services Textbook of Explosives.

摘要

It is intended that this Textbook should be of use to new entrants into the field of Service explosives in the spheres of research, design, development, production and inspection, and to members of the Armed Forces and Government Establishments who need an introduction to the general subject. its aim is to give a broad view of the chemistry and properties of those substances of an initiatory, ignitory, explosive, pyrotechnic or propellant character, which are of interest to the British Services at the time (1972) of writing. Weapons, ammunition and ballistics are touched on only in order to illustrate the requirements which must be met by various types of explosives and some of the problems which can arise in design and development.
