Initiating explosives (lead styphnate, lead trinitrores orcinate-wet with not less than 20% by weigh of water).

Initiating explosives (lead mononitroresorcinate, wet with not less than 40% by weight of water).

For safety in transportation these substances are packed wet with water. Therefore, observe outside containers for signs of leakage. Reject leaking containers or ones showing signs of having leaked.

Do not handle these substances at the same time as high explosives are being loaded.

In handling and in stowage, avoid exposure to shock, friction, heat, and open flame. Sufficient outage in outside containers must be allowed to prevent rupture of container in freezing weather, or a mixture of denatured ethyl alcohol and water may be used to prevent freezing in transit. Each outside barrel, drum, or keg must be plainly marked "Initiating ExplosiveDangerous-Do not store or load with any high explosive." do..

Jet thrust units (jato), Class A explosives. Igniters, jet thrust (jato), Class A explosives.

Propellant explosives, Class A.

Metal cylinders containing a mixture of chemicals capable of burning rapidly and producing considerable pressure. Under certain conditions the chemical fuel with which the unit is loaded may explode.

ICC regulations require that igniters must not be shipped assembled in the units unless shipped by, for, or to the Departments of the Army. Navy, or Air Force of the U. S. Government.
