PURPOSEThis MANUAL is a reference handbook publishedas an aid in planning, training, and identification ofmilitary pyrotechnics. It is not to be used as authorizationfor requisitioning, stockage, or issue of this each item of materiel, there are illustrationsand descriptions together with characteristics and relateddata.
5 Included in the related data are weights,dimensions, performance data, packing, shipping andstorage data, type classification, and logistics controlcodes (LCC). concerning supply, operation, andmaintenance of the items will be found in the publicationsreferenced for those items. A complete listing of thesepublications is maintained in DA Pam 310 this MANUAL , items with the following type-classifications are included:(1)Standard (LCC-A, LCC-B).(2)Contingency (CON).(3)Limited Procurement (LP).(4)Reclassified obsolete (OBS) for regularArmy use, but used by National Guard or Reserve units.
6 (5)Reclassified OBS for all army use, butused by Marine Corps, Air Force or Navy.(6)Reclassified OBS, no users, but US stockremain.(7)Items with the following type-classificationare not included: Reclassified OBS for US use. No USstocks remain. (Foreign use or stock may remain.) values, such as weights, dimensions,candlepower, etc., are nominal values, except whenspecified as maximum or minimum. Actual items mayvary slightly from these values. Allowable limits can heobtained from the drawings indicated in the data METRIC CONVERSION CHARTFor approximate conversions to/from metricmeasures see figure 43-0001-37 METRIC CONVERSION CHARTA pproximate Conversions to Metric MeasuresApproximate Conversions to Metric MeasuresWhen YouMultiplyWhen YouMultiplySymbolKnowByTo FindSymbolSymbolKnowByTo centimeterscm2cmsquare inchesin2ft2square metersm2m2square yardsyd2yd2square metersm2km2square milesmi2mi2square kilometerskm2hahectares( ) tons (2000lb) (1000kg)

Assembled in the base of the cartridgecase is in electric primer; a black powder propellingcharge, a primer shield assembly, and gas-check remaining space is occupied by a photoflash chargecase with a built-in delay fuse and detonator.
