12. PRACTICE ANTITANK MINES.

a. MINE, Antitank, Practice, M1.

(1) GENERAL. This mine with principal data and markings is shown as a complete round assembly in figure 7. The complete round consists of three components, an empty body, the spider, and a fuze.

(2) BODY AND SPIDER. These parts are similar in construction to the corresponding parts of the high-explosive mine except that the body has five 1-inch holes equally spa-ced around the side.

(3) FUZES. Fuzes are described in paragraph 14.

(4) ASSEMBLY (FUZING AND ARMING). The practice mine is assembled in the same manner as the service mine, described in paragraph 11 c.

(5) DISASSEMBLY (DISARMING AND UNFUZING). See paragraph 11 d.

(6) PACKING AND MARKING. Practice mines are packed in a box similar to that of the high-explosive mine, except that the fuze compartment is empty. Practice fuzes are is-sued in a separate packing. Practice mines are painted blue and marked in white.
