Description
Assembly marker (planes' squadron leader designates his position by using the smoke signal and the reminder of the planes can thus readily assemble in the required formation.)
The signal is fired from the pyrotechnic pistol AN-M8.
The cartridge is composed of an aluminum outer tube containing a primer, the propelling charge, and the inner tube which houses the delay and relay elements, the detonator, and smoke charge. The smoke charge is made up of 1.5 ounces of EC powder and 1.5 ounces of dye.
