ENCYCLOPEDIA OF EXPLOSIVES. A COMPILATION OF PRINCIPAL EXPLOSIVES, THEIR CHARACTERISTICS, PROCESSES OF MANUFACTURE, AND USES

Abstract

The encyclopedia is intended to serve as a research and reference aid on domestic and foreign explosives, both industrial and military. The main body of the encyclopedia is divided into three sections: glossary, general section, and foreign section. In addition, there is an appendix and a bibliography. The glossary contains primarily those terms which either are unique to explosives or which have a particular specialized meaning when applied to explosives. The general section covers domestic and foreign standard explosives that are currently in use. The foreign section constitutes an index of foreign explosives nomenclature. It is subdivided into British, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish terms.
