Nitrocotton 83 Ammonium bichromate 14 Potassium bichromate 3 Moisture about 3 It is incorporated with the aid of ether-alcohol and pressed into strips, which are cut into cubes and then converted into grains of irregular shape. The fine siftings are used for revolver and practice ammunition. =JUDSON POWDER.=--A mild blasting explosive used in America. It is a sort of crude gunpowder coated with nitroglycerine to increase the violence of the explosion. The percentage of nitroglycerine may vary from 5 to 20, but is generally near the lower limit. Judson Powder R.R.P. has the composition-- Nitroglycerine 5 Nitroglycerine 5 Sodium nitrate 64 or Sulphur, coal and resin 35 Sulphur 16 Sodium nitrate 60 Cannel coal 15 The sodium nitrate is mixed with the combustibles and the mixture is heated beyond the melting-point of the sulphur and resin. The slightly porous mass thus formed is then coated with nitroglycerine. The explosive is fired with a priming cartridge of dynamite. The following four grades are made by the Du Pont Co.-- FFF 20 % nitroglycerine FF 15 ” F 10 ” RRP 5 ” =KANITE A= is an American coal-mine explosive on the Permissible List. It is an ammonium nitrate explosive. =KARBONIT.= See =CARBONITE=. =KAUSOLIT.=--An ammonium perchlorate explosive, introduced about 1915 by the Stockholm Superphosphaten-fabriks A.-b. =KENT POWDER= was a coal-mine explosive made by the Cotton Powder Co. It was of the Carbonite type and was on the Permitted List. It is now no longer “permitted.” _Date of Permit_ 10-2-14 Nitroglycerine 24 Potassium nitrate 32·5 Wood meal 33·5 Ammonium oxalate 10 Limit charge over 32 oz.
