The armor works by deforming the inner and outer ogives and shorting the firing circuit between the rocket's piezoelectric nose probe and rear fuse assembly.
12.
A mechanical safety, comprising a set back system located in the warhead's base, grounds the firing circuit and prevents the accidental explosion of the warhead.
13.
It was discovered that the red arming light on the black box connected to Fat Man was lit, indicating that the firing circuit had closed.
14.
The manual's diagram for using a laundry pin as part of a trip-release firing circuit was used in the basic demolition instruction at the Farouk camp.
15.
Swells and spray frequently covered the launcher during heavy North Atlantic weather, and subsequent attempts to launch often revealed firing circuit problems launching an incomplete pattern.
16.
At Los Alamos Frisch continued his work on critical mass studies, for which Titterton developed electronic circuitry for high voltage generators, X-ray generators, timers and firing circuits.
17.
In the Me 163B and-C subtypes, a the direction finder, the compass, the firing circuits of the cannon, and some of the lighting in the cockpit instrumentation.
18.
Also, some free-fall nuclear weapons, such as the British Blue Danube, used RATs to power radar altimeters and firing circuits; these were a more reliable alternative to batteries.
19.
The battery-operated firing circuit was easily damaged during rough handling, and the rocket motors often failed because of high temperatures and exposure to moisture, salt air, or humidity.
20.
*1935 German authorities make the color-coding at vital aircraft parts obligatory; red for fire circuit-breakers, green for temperature regulators, yellow for throttles and brown for hydraulic circuits.
