| Description: |
|---|
| The body of this simulator consists of a cylindrical paper tube containing a sealed charge of photoflash powder. A fuse igniter, Type M3A1, is taped to the outside of the tube, and is joined to the photoflash charge by a safety fuse. A safety clip through the cap of the fuse igniter prevents accidental detonation. A label giving firing instructions is attached to the outside of each simulator. |
| Use: |
|---|
| To simulate battle noises and effects during troop maneuvers. (On land only.) |
| Functioning: |
|---|
| This simulator is hand-thrown device. The pull cord-actuated igniter is of the friction type and ignites the safety fuse. The burning of the safety fuse provides a 5 to 10 second delay after igniting by jerking the pull cold and throwing the simulator. The safety fuse ignites the photoflash charge which explodes, producing a flash and a loud report. |
