Ordnance, Explosives, and Related Items

Added or replaced 79 PDF files for this update. Highlights include four new Indian Chief Inspector of Ammunition Technical Reports, which I believe completes that particular collection. I also found Part 2 of the Regulations for Army Ordnance Services. I had some of these for a long time but they were terrible reproductions. These are far better.
