Section V, No. 5

                      ACID DELAY INCENDIARY

        This device will ignite automatically after a given time delay.

MATERIAL REQUIRED:
-----------------

Small jar with cap
Cardboard
Adhesive tape
Potassium Chlorate
Sugar
Sulphuric Acid (Battery Acid)
Rubber sheeting (automotive inner tube)

PROCEDURE:
---------

1. *** Sulphuric acid must be concentrated. ***  If battery acid or other 
dilute acid is used, concentrate it by boiling.  Container used should be of 
enamelware or oven glass.  When dense white fumes begin to appear, immediately 
remove the acid form heat and allow to cool to room temperature. 

*** CAUTION ***

        Sulphuric acid will burn skin and destroy clothing.  If any is 
spilled, wash it away with a large quantity or water.  Fumes are also 
dangerous and should not be inhaled. 

2. Dissolve one part by volume of Potassium Chlorate and one part by volume of 
sugar in two parts by volume of boiling water. 

3. Allow the solution to cool.  When crystals settle, pour off and discard the 
liquid. 

4. Form a tube from cardboard just large enough to fit around the outside of 
the jar and 2 to 3 times the height of the jar.  Tape one end of the tube 
closed. 

5. Pour wet Potassium Chlorate-sugar crystals into the tube until it is about 
2/3 full.  Stand the tube aside to dry. 

6. Drill a hole through the cap of the jar about 1/2 inch (1 1/4 cm) in 
diameter. 

7. Cut a disc from rubber sheet so that it just fits snugly inside the lid of 
the jar. 

8. Partly fill jar with water, cover with rubber disc and cap tightly with the 
drilled lid.  Invert bottle and allow to stand for a few minutes to make sure 
that there are no leaks.  THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. 

9. Pour water from jar and fill about 1/3 full with concentrated sulphuric 
acid.  Replace the rubber disc and cap tightly. 

*** IMPORTANT ***

        Wash outside of jar thoroughly with clear water.  If this is not done, 
the jar may be dangerous to handle during use. 

HOW TO USE:
----------

1. Place the tube containing the Sugar Chlorate crystals on an incendiary or 
flammable material taped end down. 

2. Turn the jar of sulphuric acid cap end down and slide it into the open end 
of the tube. 

        After a time delay, the acid will eat through the rubber disc and 
ignite the sugar chlorate mix.  The delay time depends upon the thickness and 
type of rubber used for the disc.  Before using this device, tests should be 
conducted to determine the delay time that can be expected. 

NOTE:  A piece of standard automobile inner tube (About 1/32" thick) will 
provide a delay time of approximately 45 minutes. 


Section V, No. 6

                     IMPROVISED WHITE FLARE

        An improvised white flare can be made from potassium nitrate, aluminum 
powder and shellac.  It has a time duration of approximately 2 minutes. 

MATERIALS REQUIRED:                  SOURCE:
------------------                   ------
Potassium nitrate                    Field grade (Drug store)
Aluminum powder (bronzing)           Hardware or paint store
Shellac                              Hardware or paint store
Quart jar with lid
Fuse, 15 in. long
Wooden rod, 1/4 in. diameter
Tin can, 2-1/2 in. diameter x 5 in. long
Flat window screen
Wooden block

NOTE:  All of the above dimensions are approximate.

PROCEDURE:
---------

1. Place the potassium nitrate crystals on the screen.  Rub the material back 
and forth against the screen mesh with the wooden block until the nitrate is 
granulated into a powder. 

2. Measure 21 tablespoons of the powdered nitrate into a quart jar.  Add 21 
tablespoons of the aluminum powder to the nitrate. 

3. Place lid on the jar and shake ingredients vigorously until well mixed.

4. Add 12 tablespoons of shellac to the mixture and stir with the wooden rod.  
Store mixture until ready for step 7. 

5. Knot one end of the fuse.

6. Wrap the knotted end of the fuse once around the inside bottom of the can 
with the knot at the center.  Then, run the rest of the fuse out the center 
top of the can. 

7. Pour the mixture in the can and around the fuse.

8. Store flare mixture away from heat and flame until ready for use, but no 
longer then three weeks. 


Section V, No. 7

                     IMPROVISED IRON OXIDE

        Iron Oxide can be made from steel wool.  It is used in the preparation 
of improvised Yellow Flare, Improvised White Smoke Munition and Improvised 
Black Smoke Munition. 

MATERIAL REQUIRED:                     SOURCE:
-----------------                      ------
Steel wool (without soap), approx.     Hardware or general store
     16 large pads.
Smoke pipe, approximately 4 feet       Hardware store
     long x 12 inches in diameter,
     1/16 inches thick.
Vacuum cleaner                         Hardware store
Electrical source (110 v., A.C.)       Modern commercial and
                                           domestic buildings
Window screen
Newspaper
2 containers
Wooden blocks, if necessary
Flame source (matches, lighter, etc.)

PROCEDURE:
---------

1. Separate a handful of steel wool into a fluffy ball approximately 12 inches 
in diameter and place into one end of the smoke pipe. 

2. Place the pipe on a level, nonflammable surface.  Steady the pipe, using 
wooden blocks if necessary. 

3. Ignite the steel wool with the flame source and, with the vacuum cleaner, 
force a stream of air through the flame. 

NOTE:  The forced air provided by the vacuum cleaner aids in the burning of 
the steel wool.  If the steel wool does not completely burn, more separation 
of the wool is needed. 

4. When the steel wool has almost completely burned, add another handful of 
the fluffed steel wool (step No. 1). 

5. Continue adding to the flame a single handful of fluffed wool at a time 
until a sufficient amount of iron oxide granules have accumulated in the stove 
pipe. 

6. Place a window screen on a sheet of newspaper.  Pour the burned steel wool 
granules onto the window screen and shake screen until all the fine particles 
have passed through. 

7. Discard those particles on the newspaper which are fibrous and unburned.

8. Save the particles which were too large to pass through the screen in one 
of the containers for future burning. 

9. Store particles of iron oxide (left on newspaper) in another container 
until ready for use.
