| Description: |
|---|
| The ejector plate is perforated and has a wooden block attached to it by screws. This block houses the photoflash igniter. The photoflash unit has a thin metal body, and a central buster tube filled with black powder. |
| Use: |
|---|
| The Bombs No. 13 Mk I and Mk II have bodies, base plates, and buster containers identical to those of the corresponding marks of the T.I. Bombs No. 1. |
| Functioning: |
|---|
| The candles are arranged in two layers around the central flash unit. A primed cambric washer is located between the primed ends of the two layers. The expanding gases of the buster eject the flare contents. The candles function in their normal manner, and the photoflash unit explodes with a vivid, white flash about two seconds after ejection. |
