| Description: |
|---|
| The body of this simulator consists of a cylindrical paper tube containing a photoflash charge and a whistle assembly. The whistle assembly, extending from one end of the photo-flash charge, is a paper tube containing a slow burning whistle composition, and is joined to a fuse lighter by a length of safety fuse. The fuse lighter is the friction type M3A1 and is taped to the outside of the simulator. A safety (clip through the cap of the fuse lighter prevents accidental detonation. A label lighter prevents accidental detonation. A label giving firing instructions is attached to the outside of each simulator. |
| Use: |
|---|
| To simulate battle noises and effects (shells in flight and ground explosions) during troop maneuvers (on land only). |
| Functioning: |
|---|
| This simulator is a 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 6 to 10 second delay after igniting by jerking the pull cord and throwing the simulator. the safety fuse ignites the quickmatch in the whistle assembly and the quickmatch ignites the whistle composition. Whistle time for this composition in the whistle assembly is 2 to 4 seconds. The final burning ignites the photoflash charge which explodes producing a flash and a loud report. |
