the component mixed by manual manipulation of the bag and the blasting cap attached to the side in the manner shown in fig5 this assembled kit was placed against the side of a surface laid typical unfused anti tank mine which contains approximately 9 kg of the explosive trinitrotoluene tnt detonation of the assembled kit resulted in sympathetic detonation of the anti tank mine as evidenced by the large crater generated by the blast of the mine in this example three assembled kits were detonated simultaneously to create a sympathetic detonation of an unfused 155 mm he artillery round each kit consisted of two plastic containers with screw top caps and a capacity of 500 ml the first container of each kit contained 86 percent by weight of nitroethane 3 percent by weight of fumed silica and 0 05 percent by weight of red pigment while the second container of each kit contained 11 percent by weight of glass microspheres and 0 1 percent by weight of orange pigment the containers were shaken before adding the contents of the first container to the second container a screw top cap having a hole for receiving an initiation system was then screwed onto the second container of each kit and the second containers were shaken to mix the contents a 57 grain per foot detonating cord with a 8 knot in it was then inserted through the hole in the screw top caps of each of the three second containers.
