PROPELLANT ACTUATED DEVICES.

Abstract

This is one of a continuing series describing the progress of certain development programs relating to propellant actuated devices (PAD) being conducted by Frankford Arsenal. The work covered includes the design and development of specific devices, such as thrusters, catapults, and initiators; investigations of related subjects, such as propellants and structural materials; and feasibility studies, aimed at improving the performance of propellant actuated devices and extending their application.
