Description
This grenade consists of a short necked, 1/2 pint glass bottle containing an incendiary filling, and closed by a crown cap. Ten per cent free space is left above the filling for expansion. During storage, the strip of crude (rubber dissolves and increases the viscosity of the liquid.
The grenade should not be shaken before throwing, as agitation causes the formation of an emulsion in which the droplets of phosphorus are protected from the air by a covering of water.
