Description
White except for yellow nose.
A cast brass nose piece weighted with lead is soldered to a conical body of 22 gauge sheet metal. A smoke candle unit screws into the nose. An emission tube, supported by three metal disks, passes lengthwise through the center of the body and has a cork plug in the tail end. Three rounded tail fins are soldered around the after end of the body.
The smoke candle unit consists of a casing of light alloy containing a smoke producing composition. A quickmatch wick and a length of safety fuse connects the candle with the igniter. The igniter casing contains a release pin, a spring loaded striker and primer pressed into a plug which screws into the end of the casing.
This smoke float will also be found with a black nose and white body. When so painted, it contains a black smoke unit.
