Blocking. A block circuit, figure 253, is used to block firing if the subsonic influence causes the "T" component to react prematurely. (Contact r2 closes when the "T" compo-nent fires). If the "T" component reacts prematurely, ZR II cam 6, will be on its blocking contact when r2 closes. The low-resistance coil of R4 (R5H) is energized and r5 switches over, energizing the high-resistance coil (R5H), whih acts to produce self-holding of R5 as long as r2 remains closed and the resistance of R5H prevents detonator firing.
