| 1. | Relatively unsophisticated cannery equipment can be adapted to amatol production.
|
| 2. | Ednatol was cast in the same manner as amatol.
|
| 3. | The TNT and ammonium nitrate ( used to manufacture amatol ) had exploded.
|
| 4. | The explosive employed was amatol 60 / 40 detonated by an electric contact fuze.
|
| 5. | The explosive charges hidden in tons of amatol.
|
| 6. | These fills included Ammonal, Schneiderite and Amatol.
|
| 7. | Hence it was not simply a case of switching existing filling machinery from Lyddite to Amatol.
|
| 8. | Amatol is oxygen balanced and is therefore more effective than pure TNT when exploding underground or underwater.
|
| 9. | Warheads for the German V-1 flying bomb and V-2 rockets also contained amatol.
|
| 10. | Shell filling began on 11 November 1916, with both Lyddite and Amatol explosives being used in production.
