Description
This motor consists of a cylindrical steel body with a shell ring fixed in the forward end by eight locking pins held in engagement by a circular band spring. A metal cased igniter is located immediately behind the shell ring. An electric squib is inserted in the base of the igniter, the leads from the squib extending through the central annulus of the cogged cordite grain and the venturi, and ending in a two pronged niphon plug. Behind the igniter, positioned by a metal support ring is located the cordite grain, which is supported at its after end by a metal grid. Separating the grid from the venturi is a thin metal tail obturator. The venturi is located in the after end of the motor body and contains a small bag of silica gel as a moisture proofing measure.
