General: This rocket is generally similar to the other smoke rockets in this series, dif-fering mainly in its payload. It also differs in that it has a circle of smoke ports in the base of the head, which allow the H.C. smoke to be blown out of the head on impact. Pressure of the H.C. smoke blows out the port covers after the base fuze sets off the H.C. gas. The H.C. smoke will issue for one minute after impact. |
