1394-329b

Description

The Motor Mk VI is identical to the 2 inch Motor Mk III, except that the obturator of the latter is perforated, while that of the former is not, but rather is rust proofed to allow free conduction of heat to the thermal fuze in the flare head. For this reason, Motors Mk VI are marked TI, indicating their use with thermal initiators. No other motor may be used with the flare head.

The Motor Mk VII differs from the Mk VI in that the castellations in the charge are omitted and a metal cased cylindrical igniter is employed
