Description
This marker consists of a body with a steel nose at one end, having a central hole closed by a stopper which forms part of a thin bakelite disc secured to the nose by screws. The disc is protected during transit and storage by a nose transit cover held in position by adhesive tape. The tail constitutes a buoyancy chamber, and a main outlet tube extends between the diaphragm and a tail cap at the outer end of the tail. The tail cap has a neck closed by a thin rupture disc, to w'hich is secured a small pillar having a ring attached to it. Two locating pieces, secured to the outside of the body, are provided to locate a suspension band in position if the marker is to be carried on a Light Series Bomb carrier.
