The body of the simulator consists of a cylindrical paper tube (closed at both ends) containing approximately 2 ounces of photoflash powder and whistle assembly which extends from one end of the tube. The simulator is 2.38 inches in diameter (including fuse lighter) and 7.13 inches long. The whistle assembly is a paper tube containing a pressed, slow burning powder charge, (2.0 grams). Extending from the side of this assembly is a length of safety fuse which, after a 90O bend, is inserted in a fuse lighter M3A1 taped to the side of the simulator. The fuse lighter contains a double pull cord and a cellulose nitrate coating on the phosphorous-coated friction wire and ignition composition.
