CONSTRUCTION. The JB has a one-piece nose and body. The base is welded to the body. The JC has a pressed steel nose and drawn steel body. Here the nose and base are welded to body. The J was the early model of the JB and they are identical in con-struction. The J/2 is very similar to the JC, the quality of the steel being the real diffe-rence. It was produced only in limited quantities.

The sheet steel tail cone is riveted to a ring which is secured to the bomb body by eight screws. The small holes on the fins are used to attach screamers. (See fig. 11.)

Grade II can also be modified for use against water targets. Same modification and re-sults as for Grade I are claimed.

SUSPENSION. Either horizontal or vertical.
