Descriptive name of article

Ammunition for cannon with nonexplosive projectile. Ammunition for cannon with empty projectile. Ammunition for cannon with inert-loaded projectile.

Ammunition for cannon with solid projectile. Ammunition for cannon without projectile.

Explosive power devices, class B.

Characteristic properties, cau-
tions, markings required
Ammunition for cannon with
empty projectiles, inert-
loaded projectiles, solid pro-
jectiles, or without projec-
tiles, or shell, and catapult
charges exceeding 2 inches
in diameter, is fixed am-
munition assembled in a
unit consisting of the car-
tridge case containing the
propelling charge and pri-
mer with empty, inert-
loaded, or solid projectiles,
or without projectiles, which
is fired from a cannon,
mortar, gun, howitzer or
recoilless rifle.
Each outside package must be
plainly marked with the ap-
propriate descriptive name
of the contents as "Ammuni-
tion for cannon with empty
projectile.' "Ammunition
for cannon with inert-loaded
projectile," "Ammunition
for cannon with solid projec-
tile," "Ammunition for
cannon without projectile."
Explosive power devices,

Class B, are devices de-
signed to operate ejecting
apparatus or other mecha-
nisms by means of a propel-
lant explosive, Class B, and
differ from explosive power
devices, Class C, in that
they contain larger or more
powerful propellants. The
devices must not rupture on
functioning and must be of
a type approved by the
Department of Transpor-
tation. Explosive power
devices, Class B, must not
be shipped with igniters
assembled therein unless
shipped by, for, or to the
Departments of the Army,
Navy, and Air Force of the
United States Government.
Each outside container must
be plainly marked "Explo-
sive Power Devices, Class
B" and "Handle Care-
fully-Keep Fire Away."
